Study Summary

This post-marketing monocentric double-blind sham controlled crossover study will assess the efficacy of Rebox electrotherapy in the treatment of pain. Totally 72 patients will be treated with both real and sham Rebox device in a crossover design with a 1:1 ratio over a 6-week period. The degree of pain intensity reduction after the real Rebox stimulation will be evaluated in comparison with the sham stimulation. Moreover, differences in multidimensional aspects of pain will be compared between the real and sham stimulation.
