  • Publication number: 20250367069
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing pain by simultaneously applying vibrational pressure waves at multiple frequencies such that constructive interference of the compression waves occur within an area to be treated. Embodiments of the present invention can include multiple vibrational motors, each of which can be coupled to a single vibration plate and/or some or all of which can be coupled to separate vibration plates. A controller preferably simultaneously controls all or a subset of all of the motors. The apparatus preferably includes a patient attachment device which enables one or more vibration plates to be coupled directly to an area to be treated on the patient without the need of the patient or a care provider to physically hold the vibration plate against the patient. Optionally, the frequency of the vibrational motors can be modulated during treatment.

  • Publication number: 20220265506
    Abstract: A device for treating a user includes a housing having apertures. The housing has application areas including a convex top surface, a concave bottom surface, a convex rear surface, convex side surfaces and rounded protrusions extending away from the housing. A vibrational source is located in the housing to produce vibration at the application areas. A switch is in operative communication with the vibrational source to control operation of the vibrational source.

  • Publication number: 20080086063
    Abstract: A device for reduction of pain, comprising a casing comprising a flexible sheet of material having a first end and a second end; at least one thermal source associated with the casing; a fastener for removably joining the first end and the second end; at least one vibration source; at least one power source; at least one switch for actuating the at least one vibration source, the at least one vibration source, the at least one power source and the at least one switch being in electrical communication with each other. The device further includes a distraction aid in the form of a still or animated image associated with the casing which can distract the patient from the perception of pain.
