Cutaneous Application of Silicone Wafers Containing Carbon Microcoils: Efficacy in Relieving Chronic Muscle Tension and Pain

Abstract

The use of Helical microcoils was found to be safe and efficacious in relieving muscle tension and pain.

Efficacy of Carbon Microcoils in Relieving Cervicogenic Dizziness

“…Prior clinical trial study reported a significant decrease in pain VAS scores three weeks after the patches treatment. 10 In the current study, we measured pain scores at two time points: 2 and 4 weeks after the beginning of the treatment. We notice that relief of the symptoms occurred in six subjects (86%), on treatment day 15 (p 0.01).…”

“…The use of nanotechnology stands out among newer thermotherapy-based techniques developed for the treatment of neck pain. 10 Nanotechnology could be used for the treatment of neck pain by fixing to the skin small rounds silicone patches containing double spiral carbon nanotubes arranged in the form of a coil (Helical, Miyasaka Rubber Co., Chino, Nagano, Japan). These patches are designed for home use, made of an inert material, do not contain any type of drugs, and can be purchased without a medical prescription.…”

A new treatment for cervical dizziness

“…The emitted heat raises the local temperature by 0.7–1.2 °C. 10 , 11 It is documented that the local metabolic rate increases by 10%–13% as a consequence of each Celsius degree elevation. 12 The increase in metabolic function provides better nutrient supply, reduction of the inflammatory process, and elimination of toxins, resulting in muscle relaxation, pain relief, and localized stiffness alleviation.…”

Tontura cervical proprioceptiva: efeito do calor induzido por nanotubos de carbono

“…Houve melhora na autopercepção da dor em 19 deles. Os principais efeitos colaterais descritos foram o prurido e eritema locais em 25% dos casos (Tsuji;Awade;Posso, 2015).…”

“…Os nanotubos são capazes de restaurar a circulação sanguínea em pontos gatilhos e reverter o processo de contração localizada, uma vez que a circulação comprometida no local tende a intensificar o processo inflamatório e gerar um círculo vicioso. Sua efetividade no combate à tensão muscular cervical já está documentada em literatura nacional (Tsuji;Awade;Posso, 2015). O tratamento com os NTC é um procedimento Nosso interesse é estudar de forma mais detalhada a atuação dos NTC no alívio da cervicalgia e da tontura.…”
