Overview
The ReliefMate is a drug-free noninvasive and non-addictive pain-relief device with no side effects. Based on acupuncture principles, it stimulates the TE5 acupoint on the outer wrist through a parallelized electrostatic field and adjustable vibration, which is known to affect the nerve stimulation between the brain and the pain and activates the body’s system that decreases pain naturally!
A study showed that in an average use of 6 days, the efficacy of the ReliefMate reaches 71.67% which also lasts longer compared to medications. This watch-like device is very safe to use; it doesn’t deliver electronic current to the skin (a TENS unit does that) to cause tingling, and is an ideal for individuals suffering from lower back pain, neck or shoulder pain, and bone or muscle problems.
For optimal efficacy, wear the device once the chronic pain occurs and use continuously for at least 12 hours daily until symptoms improve.
Competitive Advantages
Symptoms associated with chronic pain may persist for a long period of time. Pain management techniques provide support to those suffering from chronic pain. There are a variety of pain management programs that exist to help patients reduce pain and to improve their quality of life. Each technique has their advantages and disadvantages.
The ReliefMate not only helps minimize pain, but also produces long lasting efficacy using a safe and drug-free method.

What is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain (differentiated from acute pain) doesn't always have a certain cause and may persist for a long period of time, whereas acute pain is usually caused by an illness or injury and improves over time. Many conditions of chronic pain affect older adults and may also:
- get in the way of sleep
- lead to fatigue
- cause depression/anxiety
- increase muscle tension, causing more pain
- weaken level of physical activity
- interfere with work and home
- affect mood and relationships
- Arthritis
- Back pain, low back pain, herniated disc
- Neck pain
- Headaches
Clinical Study
Guang Dung Jiangmen CT Center Hospital (specialized in pain management) conducted a study on 60 patients with low back pain by applying an electrostatic field on acupoint TE5 (used to treat patients with pain symptoms) wearing the ReliefMate for at least 12 hours daily for one month.
The study showed that after application of the ReliefMate treatment:- nearly 72% of the patients felt improvements (severity of the pain was significantly reduced or disappeared completely).
- pain reduced in an average of 6 days.
