Wow! I feel great now that I have found a place with information from real users of the Stimwave product. After 12 years of a progressively worsening pain problem in my right scapula that travels up my neck and into my head, I have exhausted the limits of my pain management team and my neurologist. So the new attempt is a suggestion to do a Stimwave test at $4,500. If the test works, the permanent is $30,000, all out of pocket. Money aside, my concern is whether this thing will work for what my Dr. has diagnosed as “Central Sensitization”. In short, I have an open nerve in my right scalp that sends a pain signal ALL of the time. I live on a low “10” pain score with meds, and usually a high “10”+ daily. All of the comments I have read center around more common, though very painful and serious, problems for which there seems to be some measure of treatment. There is nothing for this problem I have developed. There was no injury that caused it. It just started hurting one day and after the slightest strain like carrying a half gallon of milk 10’, the pain rockets off the scale instantly. So if anyone has any knowledge of how the Stimwave works for central sensitization at all, I would really appreciate it. I should mention that every measure of ablation and pain block did nothing! I really don’t want to throw away money as a test-patient. I read someone comment that they felt the company should pay for testing and I must agree. I’m also concerned about some of the comments about the battery. Once COVID is resolved I have to go back to traveling a lot not to mention cruising around the world. Does anyone have anything to offer. I would truly appreciate help. There is one doctor I heard on an NPR TED TALK named Elliot Krane that had success with one young girl, but those therapies have all failed for me.
