@roblem Thanks Rob, I was told by my PT that electrical stimulation is not recommended in cancer patients. It promotes the cancer returning? You may want to ask your Oncologist and get back to me. I'd be curious to what he/she suggests. Thanks for the info.

Also, as I mentioned in other posts it just about completely cured my dry mouth in 2015 after only 9 appts.

Your PT person part of an actual head & neck specialized cancer clinic?Interesting never heard of that ever as I had it done at my cancer clinic. Also, my PT who specializes in head & neck had no problem either with it. I just did a google search and it stated “There is no evidence that electrical stimulation acupuncture (electroacupuncture) causes cancer to return in former patients. In fact, numerous studies show it is a safe and effective complementary therapy for managing symptoms and side effects in cancer survivors, such as pain, fatigue, and nausea.”
