A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
The total analgesic use during the seventh postoperative day was 2.1-times lower in the active-PEMF group than in the sham group. Seven days postoperatively, patients in the active-PEMF group had better wound healing with no exudate, erythema, or edema.
We have had amazing results, especially with post-operative pain and patient satisfaction with recovery. Often patients feel no pain post-op when using RecoveryRx. I have had patients call me days after the surgery asking when the intra-operative anesthesia will wear off. Or they call to make sure I actually did the surgery.
