Early on after my diagnosis, I tried a Zopec DT-1200 to see if it would help with my PN numbness but after a few months use, I gave up on it as it didn't help at all for me. I only have numbness with my PN so can't speak for it helping with pain.

I have does not work
There is a machine from Israel, at least that’s where it was when I purchased it years ago and it works. Name is pain shield. Look it up online and you might be able to purchase it. Works for me that’s all I can say.
