Quell, the pain-reducing neurostimulator that can be worn at night from NeuroMetrix, a Waltham, MA firm, received European regulatory approval to be marketed direct to consumers. The device, which we reviewed earlier this year, has the only FDA clearance in the United States to be used by consumers while sleeping to help manage pain. It features an accelerometer that recognizes when patient is in bed and the device adjusts therapy so it doesn’t keep patients awake, and yet disrupts pain signals. The Quell connects to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, and can be controlled wirelessly using its own app.
It can be wrapped around the back, legs, or arms, to target whichever source of pain needs attention. We tested it ourselves and had a couple folks with chronic pain try it as well. This was certainly not a scientific study and you should really consult with your physician before trying the Quell, but do check out our review to get a good idea of this device.
