Yes, you are correct about that. Last year, I went thru a bunch of trial therapies that had made the cut after studies done. I worked with my OT, who said I was a good candidate. She had not yet trialed it firsthand on anyone, and turns out me and another patient both found temporary relief (several days) from utilizing that method. For me, she would make it vibrate and apply it on my nerves' pathway (all 3 major arm nerves, in my case) repeatedly, going up then back down. I can't say I felt immediate relief, but later in the day I noticed my symptoms were much lessened, and I was able to sleep better. The next few days it stayed muted and would then ramp back up, unfortunately. But, such is the case with neuropathy. Also, if I might add - I am severely hypersensitive to touch but was able to tolerate this. So, something works... I cannot tolerate any "hard" or "deep" vibrations, or else I'll be even more nauseous and paying for it for days on end. Hope this helps you.

@davehayward1 Interesting that you talk about the "tuning fork". 4 years ago I was diagnosed with peripheral poly neuropathy. I was told by the specialist my short nerves in my feet were dead or dying. This year I had another exam for my neuropathy. The doctor got out a tuning fork and used it on the top and bottom of my hands, I felt it. Then used it on the top and bottom of my hands, I could not feel the vibration. I looked it up later and the explanation I got that that my long nerves in my feet are dead or dying. The long nerve ending in my feet are not feeling the tuning fork since they are on the same frequency. As for my hands feeling the tuning fork, they only have short nerves. I could be wrong about all of this, but that is what I read.
