Nervomartrix: ATN Technology

ATN Technology

The Need for Automated Pinpoint Treatment - Neurostimulation methods used today for pain relief have inherent drawbacks. The commonly used methods are based on the delivery of stimulation to wide areas around the target, forcing clinicians to use low level stimulation that do not efficiently activate the endorphin mechanism and compromises the quality of the treatment.

Other methods are based on manually identifying and stimulating the targets. These deliver a more pinpoint treatment for activating the endorphin mechanism, but are nonetheless less efficient as they are performed manually and are heavily dependent on the operator’s level of skill and prior knowledge.

Activating the endorphin mechanism using electrotherapy requires the provision of strong, low-rate electrical pulses (SLR-TENS or ALTENS) at appropriate locations for producing analgesia by stimulating of the A δ nerve afferent neurons (III fibers). This will induce the release of the body’s own pain killers: natural endorphins, cortisol and serotonin hormone. Effective stimulation requires targeting the location of the nerve.

The Challenge - An Automated Pinpoint Treatment would require both the technology capable of auto localizing the targets, and a precise method of treating the targets alone.

The Solution - Auto-Targeting Neurostimulation (ATN). Combining advanced proprietary imaging and sensing technologies for localizing the targets with a unique neurostimulation technology to treat only the specific area identified to be the most effective for pain relief, for the first time ATN overcomes the limitations of products currently on the market. ATN offers a superior solution for lower back pain as it provides targeted, high-stimulation Pinpoint Treatment that is highly effective, non-invasive and drug free.
