PainSolv® MkV PEMF Pain Therapy Device

PainSolv® MkV is a self-contained electronic unit with controls intended to be applied to the body to emit short-time pulsed, radio-frequency energy [pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) to tissues at a level below the patient's heat sensory perception threshold. The device is intended to be used in clinical and home settings.

The device comes complete with internal rechargeable battery, dedicated power charger adaptor and 32pp full colour user guide which also includes instructions for using on Acupuncture points in the case of hard to reach areas of the body.

PainSolv uses researched pain management technology.

Thousands of studies have been carried out worldwide, showing probable benefits of PEMF in aiding the healing of soft-tissue wounds, helping to suppress inflammatory responses at cell membrane level to reduce pain and increase range of motion.

Constant wave low level lasers and static magnets have never been scientifically proven to penetrate the skin. But clinical research carried out for NASA proved that millisecond duration pulsed electromagnetic fields have the greatest beneficial effect on living tissues over any other energy form.

This is because pulsed electromagnetic waves pass through all types of body tissue including bone, without any refraction. The therapy also works unhindered through clothing and specialist medical dressings, including plaster casts.

PainSolv® MkV is a  Device designed specifically for pain management and is a deep body tissue stimulator that uses PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) technology to deliver the therapy. 

It is CE-certified (CE 591626) for Europe 

It also holds Global Medical Device Nomenclature  code (GMDN 35169) as a battery-powered, hand-held device designed to apply an electromagnetic (EM) field to body deep tissues to help reduce pain associated with musculoskeletal/neurological disorders (e.g., arthritis, sciatica) and/or to treat soft-tissue wounds and injuries.

What types of pain does PainSolv help with?

PainSolv has been effective with many types of pain. However no two people ever experience the same pain in the same way. If you have any concerns about the type of pain you have and whether PainSolv is likely to work for you please contact us.

What is PainSolv MkV? PainSolv MkV is a portable medical device, delivering pulsed electromagnetic therapy that can be used with equal effect by consumers and practitioners alike. It is a nerve and muscle stimulating massager that encourages the cell potential to increase to normal levels. What is different about PainSolv? PainSolv MkV is unique in that it features three distinctly different treatment options for relief from pain associated with a wide range of Pain, Wound and Stress Conditions. As it is not clinically effective to have a single-setting for all types of treatment that may be required, PainSolv® have created settings for specific areas of therapy. Each of these programmes differs in duration, intensity and/or frequency. Does PainSolv cause any side effects? No, but the device should be used with caution if the sufferer is pregnant, if the user suffers from epilepsy (and is not taking prescribed medication to control it) or has an implanted cardiac pacemaker that incorporates a defribillator, then the device can only be used more than 20cms from the site of the implant. Does PainSolv therapy cause any pain during application? Not at all. However, if the device is being used to help promote natural healing of leg ulcers for instance, it is possible that the sufferer could feel some tingling sensations due to improved circulation. As the healing process begins after application, it is quite normal for the pain experienced to increase slightly for a day or so. Using PainSolv® will not cause any mid to long term discomfort. Should I consult my doctor before using PainSolv? You only need consult your doctor before using PainSolv if you are in the first trimester of pregnancy, or suffer from epilepsy that is not controlled by medication. The User Guide provided with the product gives information about certain conditions that should be diagnosed before use of the device. Is PainSolv safe to use on any part of the body? You should never use the device internally as this could cause severe injury. You should never allow children to use the device without supervision. You should not apply therapy directly onto the eyes. You should not apply the unit directly onto the carotid artery which is situated below the ear and behind the jaw on the neck (this can cause a headache). As PainSolv does not generate heat or electric currents, it is entirely safe to use on joints where prosthetic joint replacements have been inserted. What types of condition can PainSolv therapies treat? PainSolv can be used on a wide range of pain, wound and stress related conditions to great effect. Full details can be found in the User Guide supplied. How often can PainSolv be used without 'overdosing' on the therapy? You can use PainSolv as many times as you like in any one session. The device is programmed to deliver Pain, Wound or Stress therapies in pre-programmed cycles. We recommend that you do not apply the therapy whilst driving. Are there any particular precautions I should take when using the PainSolv Medical Device? Whilst we are very confident that PainSolv will help you gain relief from your particular condition, it is important that you read the instructions prior to use, paying particular attention to the list of precautions below: - Do not use internally as this may cause serious damage to your health. - Must not be used by those being treated with chemotherapy for at least 5 months afterwards - Must not be used by people with demand-type heart pacemaker implants - Must not be used in the first trimester (3 months) of pregnancy, or if there is any chance you may be pregnant. - Must not be used by haemophiliacs. - Must not be used by epilepsy sufferers unless they are taking prescribed medication to control the condition - Must not be used in conjunction with defibrillators - Do not apply directly to eyes or eyelids - To avoid cross-infection, never apply directly to broken skin of any kind (ulcers, wounds, etc). Always apply through dressings. - Do not apply directly to the carotid artery (upper part of neck directly behind the ears) Are there any general usage guidelines I should be aware of? Yes, there are some general pointers for safe use which are listed below: - Children should not use the device unless supervised by an adult - Do not drive for at least 15 minutes after a therapy session - Do not operate machinery for at least 15 minutes after a therapy session - Do not leave the unit adjacent to sources of excessive heat - Do not operate in the immediate vicinity of flammable gases - Do not use on aeroplanes until the crew advise that electronic equipment can be used safely - Do not immerse in liquid of any kind - Do not use cleansing lotions on the device; use wet wipes or dry cloth only - Avoid dropping the unit onto hard surfaces wherever possible - Attempting to open the unit may result in serious injury - Avoid dropping the unit onto hard surfaces - Do not use any other charger other than the one supplied Does PainSolv have exactly the same results for everyone using the device? Medical conditions affect individuals differently. Treatment periods can vary from user to user and can also depend on how long you have suffered from your condition or what medications you are prescribed. We therefore advise you to follow the User Guide.

The PainSolv® device is not intended to either diagnose or cure any specific condition and no such claims are made. The treatment suggestions provided are not intended to suggest that a condition will be cured, only that symptoms may be reduced.

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)  PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy)  

TENS

• Electrical Impulses

• Temporary pain relief through body’s natural pain killer (endorphins)

• Non-invasive but can cause muscles to convulse and cause a tingling sensation

PEMF

• Varied Strength Magnetic Fields

• Encourages the body to heal at the source of the pain

• Therefore fixing the problem rather than masking it temporarily

• Non-invasive and completely pain free.

• There  is no sensation on low intensity PEMF product

TENS is the act of passing small electrical impulses through the muscle to encourage a response. The electrical impulses can temporarily block or reduce the pain signals going to the spinal cord and brain, which can help reduce or relieve pain or muscle spasm. The electric currents can also stimulate the production of endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers. Pain returns as soon as the electrodes are removed in most cases.   PEMF is the delivery of pulsed electromagnetic fields in millisecond duration. Clinical research carried out for NASA proved that millisecond duration pulsed electromagnetic fields have the greatest beneficial effect on living tissues over any other energy form.

These magnetic fields are able to penetrate through the body without pain or invasive methods.

Like TENS, PEMF can reduce pain signals from travelling around the body but where it differs from TENS it can encourage the body’s natural ability to heal its self rather than just blocking the pain signals.

Therefore over time the therapy can aid in the body’s ability to work on the source of the pain rather than just mask it. PEMF also encourages better circulation and cell regeneration to heal areas of the body causing pain.
