Quell (wearable)
Quell is a wearable device, manufactured by Neurometrix, that claims to offer relief from chronic pain without the use of drugs. Quell is an FDA approved band worn on the calf and uses Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) technology. Neurometrix reference a small study, funded by the company, to claim efficacy in chronic pain; however, evidence is currently limited References {{reflist External links Company website Wearable devices ...

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is the use of electric current produced by a device to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes. TENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation although the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable stimulators used to reduce pain. The unit is usually connected to the skin using two or more electrodes which are typically conductive gel pads. A typical battery-operated TENS unit is able to modulate pulse width, frequency, and intensity. Generally, TENS is applied at high frequency (>50 Hz) with an intensity below motor contraction (sensory intensity) or low frequency ( * Over a tumor/malignancy (based on in vitro experiments where electricity promotes cell growth) * Directly over the spinal column TENS used across an artificial Artificial pacemaker, cardiac pacemaker (or other indw ...
