dc.description.abstractBackground: Chronic musculoskeletal pain is highly prevalent worldwide. Primary study objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Helical((R)) microcoils, a new, noninvasive treatment for chronic musculoskeletal pain. Design: This was a prospective, observational study. Setting: The study was conducted at the main author's private clinic, in SAo Paulo, Brazil. Participants: We evaluated 20 physicians, from 2 different hospitals, who suffered from chronic musculoskeletal pain and volunteered to participate in the study. Intervention: The Helical((R)) microcoils were applied to the skin over the affected areas. Before and after the intervention, the physician-patients completed questionnaires and a visual analog scale. Primary outcome measures: We quantified postintervention improvement or worsening of pain and muscle tension. Results: Significant improvements in pain and muscle tension were observed in 95% of the physician-patients evaluated. The only side effect reported was mild pruritus at the application site, which occurred in 5 of the 20 cases. Conclusion: The use of Helical microcoils was found to be safe and efficacious in relieving muscle tension and pain.
