š„ What if electricity could calm chronic paināwithout drugs?
A new university-led study, published in Elsevier UKās peer-reviewed journal Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders, just proved it might.
š Who did it?
Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Shanghai University of Sport reviewed 10 clinical trials with 315 people living with multiple sclerosis (MS)āa condition where nerve damage often causes constant pain.
ā” What they found:
People who received electrical stimulation therapy felt, on average, 1.75 points less pain on the 0ā10 pain scale compared with those who didnāt.
And when the treatment lasted around six weeks, pain dropped by nearly 2 full points.
No drugs. No injections. Just safe, gentle electrical pulses helping the body manage pain naturally.
š” Why it works:
The researchers say electrical signals can āclose the pain gate,ā blocking painful messages before they reach the brain.
Itās like quieting a noisy alarmāyour nerves finally get to rest.
š§ Why this matters:
This study was published by Elsevier, one of the worldās most trusted scientific publishers (based in the UK).
That means the research was peer-reviewed and verified by independent experts before it went publicāno hype, just data.
