Pain NCS: Locate Pain or Numbness With Nearly 100 Percent Accuracy

Physical pain is an unpleasant feeling that occurs when tissues are damaged or displaced, causing nerves to be pinched. Common physical pains associated with pinched nerves are back and neck pain. According to the National Institute of Health, 40 percent of patients seek medical help because of pain related issues. Detecting the exact cause of a pain is not easy because there are many different nerve components that are involved.

Below is an excerpt from painncs.com.

Over 90% of signals transmitted by the (Fast Pain) A-delta fibers reach the sensory cortex, so they should allow the patient to exactly localize the source of pain. However, soon after an injury A-delta fibers become numb, while the poor localizing C-Type fibers up-regulate. Regarding this Guyton states: “It explains why so many patients have serious difficulty in localizing the source of some types of chronic pain.” What types of pain? The most common types – neck and back pain. Patients do not have difficulty localizing the source of their pain, they simply localize it to the wrong nerve root level. Nearly 20% will localize to the wrong side.

The pf-NCS tests all the major peripheral nerves to detect down-regulated A-delta function. The patient is his own control, so statistical sensitivity approaches 100%. The patented electrical signal selectively stimulates A-delta fibers, so the nerve requiring the highest voltage amplitude to cause an A-delta action potential detects pathology. The pf-NCS is objective, since a potentiometer detects the amplitude of the action potential that verifies firing. This is independent of the patient’s psychophysical (perception) of a sensation. Since the patient acts as the control, the test is unaffected by age, gender or population variables. The Pain NCS can also be used to test (Slow Pain) C-Type and (Light Touch) A-beta fibers, which can be useful when RSD or sympathetically mediated pain syndromes are suspected.

Because Pain NCS is able to access all the major nerves in a region, it can locate exactly where the abnormal nerves are located. This is one of the reasons why Pain NCS is so good at pinpointing the exact location of the pain. According to the manufacturer of Pain NCS, its device allows users to painlessly detect nerve injury with 100 percent accuracy, 5 times more accurate than electrical muscle graph (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV). Pain NCS is a device that would be great for assisting doctors, neuropathists, chiropractors and massage therapists to detect all types of pain.

With improvement, I believe the Pain NCS may even be able to detect early stage of diseases before they show up as physical symptoms. This is because every health condition in the body has its own abnormal neurological pattern. By detecting these pattern ahead of time, diseases can be diagnosed and treated before they get out of control. This is especially important for treating cancer.

Doctors, neuropathists, chiropractors and massage therapists who want to learn more about this state of the art Pain NCS device should visit painncs.com. People who are interested in Pain NCS should contact the manufacturer of Pain NCS to see if there are local clinics near their house that use this state of the art device.
