Traditional pain management methods, including opioids, carry risks such as addiction and significant side effects, highlighting the urgent need for safer alternatives. Hypersound Medical addresses this by utilizing interferential RF microwaves, termed \"hypersound,\" which stimulate neural activity through nonthermal mechanisms involving electrostriction and piezo-sensitive ion channel activation. This targeted stimulation induces natural analgesic responses within the body, providing effective and precise pain relief. The article explores the technology's scientific principles, discusses its clinical and economic benefits, and positions it within the broader context of noninvasive pain management. Hypersound Medical's solution promises enhanced patient outcomes, reduced healthcare costs, and improved accessibility, significantly impacting global health by offering a nonaddictive, accessible pathway to chronic pain relief.","PeriodicalId":49065,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Pulse","volume":"16 2","pages":"22-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144058299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
