The Effects of Corona Discharge Therapy.
Description:
Check out this Japanese university research on 488 clinical cases related to the spine and the joints to see how they came to a conclusion that 75% of the patients who were treated with Sonotron had relief against pain with no difference in effect among the different parts of the body; that the treatment although performed for a relatively short duration gave a continuous effect for a long period of time; that the therapy made a favourable impression in 78% of the cases.

Report on In-Vitro Characterization and Electrical Safety Testing of Sonotron Device.
Description:
Read this report from the Instrumentation Systems Center, University of Wisconsin, USA which found Sonotron to conform to existing ANSI standards for this class of electromedical device; that the output signals resemble the frequency spectra of electrosurgical units but with approximately 1/60 the current and power and the signal currents measured in joint tissue simulated applications indicate that the levels should be below the threshold of perception and the power levels small enough to preclude a burn hazard even in the event of inadvertent direct ground contact. These data indicate that the Sonotron device could reasonably be regarded as a non significant risk device.

Sonotron’s Efficacy In Integrated Treatment On Vertebral Osteoarthritis.
Description:
Read this Sonotron News Flash on a summary Dr. Giuseppe Leoncini’s paper entitled “SONOTRON’S EFFICACY IN INTEGRATED TREATMENT ON VERTEBRAL OSTEOARTHRITIS” presented at The Congress of Lower Back Pain in 1998. Dr. Leoncini is a specialist in the fields of Orthopedics and Neurology. He found that Sonotron Therapy combined with manipulation and KT acted significantly on spontaneous pain and pain due to mobilization of the treated patient group, after the second treatment, 60% had an improvement both on pain and mobilization. With 95% improvement in most patients treated after the end of the fourth treatment. The study confirms the therapeutic advantages in treatment of lumbar cervical osteoarthrits with Sonotron.

Study Of The Efficacy And Safety Of Sonotron In The Treatment Of Pain In Human Subjects With Osteoarthritis Of The Knee.
Description:
Check out how the Instrumentation Systems Center of the University Of Wisconsin, USA, conducted a multicenter short term, single administration, double blind randomized placebo controlled study of the efficacy and safety of Sonotron in the treatment of pain in human subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee. They found Sonotron to show a high probability that the subjects’ assessment of pain one week after administration was reduced in the treated relative to the untreated control subpopulation. These measures were knee joint pain on passive motion (p-0.001) and knee joint pain at rest (p=0.003). Data was analyzed by Chi-Squared analysis on eleven non-parametric measures to compare the relative responses of the randomly assigned control and treated subpopulations. None of the subjects in the study reported adverse reactions to administration of the Sonotron which the investigators deemed significant or long lasting.

Treatment of Joint Inflammation Pain Using A Sonotron.
Description:
Read how Northvale Medical Associates Inc. Clinic, Miami, Florida conducted their study and found that nearly all patients (97.3%) had some reduction in pain when treated with Sonotron, and more than three quarters (76.7%) experienced an increased ability to use the joint. Treatment of the inflamed site with the device alleviated pain to a significant degree at the following sites: back, shoulder, knee, hip, and wrist. Significant improvement in the ability of the patient to move the affected joint was observed in the back, shoulder, knee and wrist.

Effects On Lumbago Of Therapeutic Equipment “SONOTRON” For Pain Abatement
Description:
Check out how 5 Japanese researchers did their work on Sonotron with 30 subjects who were orthopedic patients suffering from lumbago. They noticed that the Lumbar Disc Herniation showed distinct improvement by the first week. Compared to laser treatment and micro treatment, Sonotron treatment is shorter. They concluded that Sonotron is effective for pain abatement in the case of acute and chronic lumbago; it has short treatment time; it is easy to operate and the treatment is easy; it is a safe equipment as they had no worsening cases nor side effects.
