Break Free from Pain: Portable EMS TENS Therapy Pad for Soothing Period Relief

Introducing the Portable EMS TENS Therapy Pad, a revolutionary device designed specifically for women seeking effective relief from period pain and muscle discomfort. Utilizing advanced Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) technology, this portable pad offers a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free solution to alleviate menstrual cramps and promote overall well-being.

Period Cramps Impact Whole-Body Health 

Those who have a period have likely experienced some level of cramps that can range from bothersome to all-out debilitating. The degree to which cramps can interfere with someone’s daily routine is rarely acknowledged, yet can negatively affect many aspects of life. Here are just a few ways in which period cramps can be disruptive:     

Pain and cramping can have a substantial impact on health, both physical and emotional. Therefore, finding treatments to help lift that burden is essential for whole-body health. 

Side Effects of Taking NSAIDs For Period Pain 

NSAIDs, like ibuprofen, are commonly relied upon treatments for pain, including period cramps. Pain can come from various sources, including inflammatory compounds called prostaglandins. NSAIDs are so effective because they block the production of these compounds, easing discomfort.  

While these medications can help minimize pain, they can be accompanied by side effects. These include gastrointestinal (GI) upset, dizziness, poor blood clotting, and more. [6] Additionally, some people don’t respond to NSAIDs (i.e., they don’t experience pain relief). [7]  

How TENS Reduces Pain 

Finding alternatives to these over-the-counter medications can help address some of these concerns. That’s where TENS comes in. This treatment delivers very mild electrical currents across the skin to inhibit the transmission of pain. [8] It acts on sensory nerves (nerves that help communicate senses like pressure and pain to the brain) to reduce and block pain signals. This can help to reduce the severity of pain experienced.  

The side effects of using TENS are limited and can be eliminated simply by turning off the device.      

Let’s dive into how the PowerDot improved the pain associated with cramps in a recent study.   

How Was the Study Conducted? 

The study was conducted in the Clinical Exercise Research Center (CERC) at the University of Southern California (USC) and supported by Therabody. It included 34 participants who met the following criteria:  

The study spanned three menstrual cycles, with different treatments assigned in randomized order: a single pod connected to a butterfly pad (PowerDot Uno), two pods connected to four electrode pads (PowerDot Duo), and NSAIDs only (control).  

At the onset of each period, participants were asked to use their assigned treatment whenever they experienced period cramps. While on the PowerDot assignments, participants used the “Period Pain Relief" setting in the PowerDot app. Once a day, participants received a survey to input the number and lengths of PowerDot treatments used, pre- and post-pain scores for each treatment, and whether they consumed additional NSAIDs following treatment.  

While assigned to the PowerDot treatments, individuals were expected to use the PowerDot for pain relief first. However, if they did not experience pain relief (or didn’t have the device readily available), they were permitted to use NSAIDs (but were not allowed to use PowerDot for the remainder of the day). 

Let’s unpack the study results.  

The Study Showed That PowerDot Works 

This study’s results demonstrate Therabody PowerDot’s effectiveness in managing period pain. Participants experienced significant (and clinical) reductions in pain and relied less on NSAIDs as a treatment. These findings highlight the potential of PowerDot as a safe and effective option for those seeking relief from period cramps. 

PowerDot Use Reduced Pain 

The results showed that using the PowerDot, regardless of the assignment (i.e., Uno or Duo), significantly decreased pain. These individuals also experienced a “clinically significant" reduction in pain — a subjective reduction in symptoms. In other words, people felt a noticeable difference in their pain levels following the PowerDot treatment.   

Participants Who Used PowerDot Consumed Less NSAIDs 

During the PowerDot assignments, participants consumed significantly fewer NSAIDs than the control group. This is a critical finding because NSAID consumption can be associated with various side effects noted above. TENS, in comparison, has very minimal potential side effects (e.g., tightness or skin irritation from the pads).   

Therefore, finding that TENS causes a noticeable decrease in pain and a decrease in NSAIDs consumed is good news for those looking for an alternative pain relief option.   

The PowerDot Reduced Pain in a Real-World Setting 

Many scientific studies are conducted in a laboratory, allowing scientists to isolate the variable they’re measuring. While this control is important for determining mechanisms behind why and how the body responds to a certain treatment, controlled settings make translating study findings to real-life scenarios more difficult. The majority of previous studies using TENS for period cramps were conducted in more controlled settings.  

What sets these new findings apart is that participants used PowerDot as they would in their day-to-day lives. Participants were able to use their PowerDot whenever they felt they needed to. They could also customize their treatment (i.e., duration and number of uses). Abstaining from treatment altogether if they felt they didn’t need it was also an option. This presents a more realistic example of how TENS can be used in those who struggle with period cramps, making the findings more translatable to a real-world scenario.
