The External Neuromodulation Device, now known as The MultiStim SENSOR and will be hitting the UK very soon and then Europe and the USA.

“On the 16th December 2005 I reported that something would be available to help nerve pain and I had tried it and was impressed by the results. I was not permitted to give anymore information at that point. On the 18th January 2006 I was able to tell you that it was a machine, and that it was called The External Neuromodulation Device, it was due to be available for all who could purchase one, from 24th February 2006 in the UK and later in June in the US. Over the forth coming months I received emails asking for more info or news. On the 28th April 2006 I had some further news that there was going to be a delay on the availability date, as adjustments were needed to be made to the device to improve the benefits and that some people reported 3-5 days pain free. Now, on 01st October 2006 I am pleased to say that I have another update. The device is now known as The MultiStim SENSOR and it will hopefully be available by the end of this year! People have reported 2 weeks pain relief from 5 minute use of the device!” Helen.

The MultiStim SENSOR - Made by PAJUNK®

Clear to see and easy to use:

MultiStim SENSOR

With the introduction of the MultiStim SENSOR, PAJUNK® configures a foundation for a new generation of nerve stimulators for regional anesthesia. The device offers a multitude of functions for more safety and efficiency in plexus anesthesia. The essential difference to common stimulating devices is the following: The MultiStim SENSOR supports a patient-friendly and percutaneous localisation and identification of nerves with the help of a stimulating handle, the PEG-electrode (Percutaneous Electrode Guidance). Only then the cannula is fed into the puncture area (which was identified by utilizing the method mentioned above) and the stimulation is switched by the push of a button from the stimulating handle to the cannula.

Performance Characterisitics of MultiStim SENSOR at a glance

  • Large and easy to view display
  • Analog and digital display of stimulating voltage
  • Analog setting of electrical current by incremental turning knob
  • Intergrated safety features
  • Stimulation switch able between cannula and percutaneous stimulating handle (PE)
  • Highly precise, constant electrical current adjustment through microprocessors

Stimulating Voltage

The actual stimulating current stream through the patient is constantly measured and displayed in numerical as well as analogical form, showing up in form of beams on the display. The electrical current is also compared constantly and displayed optically or acoustically in case that the actual streaming current differs from the set current strength.

Pause

By activating the Pause button, the stimulation may be interrupted. That way, changes on all stimulating parameters without impulse output may be constantly compared and displayed optically or acoustically, if the actual streaming electrical current differs from the preset electrical current.

Adjustable Stimulating Impulse Width

The stimulating impulse width is easily and quickly adjustable through an own key, in multiple steps - from 0.05 ms over 0.1ms, 0.2ms, 0.3ms, 0.5ms to 1.0ms for example for the selective stimulation of sensory and motor nerve fibers an composite nerves.

SETUP

The device has a setup-function. By using the setup function you as the user may program your individual starting parameters for the percutane and invasive uses.

Optional Nerve-Location via Handle

While with conventional stimulating devices the puncture spot is determined through the anatomic map, with the MultiStim SENSOR, there is the option of locating the puncture spot via the PEG-electrode. With this method, a nerve is stimulated through the skin and, if successful, a reflex is initiated without a puncture required. The cannula is then inserted into the located puncture spot and the stimulating electrical current is converted by the push of a button onto the cannula. The cannula is then placed per common technique.

PEG and Cannula Pushbutton*

By activating the PEG or the cannula pushbuttons, the stimulation may be switched according to requirements - onto the handle or the cannula, respectively. Each active electrode is displayed through the adequate status display. The stimulating electrical current frequency and impulse width are adjustable separately for the two exits. (If the PEG-handle is not connected, this pushbutton has no function).

* only if optional PEG-cable and PEG-electrode is used

PLEASE NOTE: This device can be used either in theatre by medical professionals via a needle or used externally by patients at home via the PEG attachment. I have been informed by Steve Tegg from PAJUNK® that Dr Teodor Gorosenzniuk will notify him of what current I need to feel full benefit and then when I receive my own device it will be automatically set at that level when the device is switched on but I can also use the turning knob the increase or decrease the current.

What the patients say about The MultiStim SENSOR

“On Saturday the 30th September I took part in a workshop at the INPUT Pain Management Unit at St Thomas’ Hospital, London UK. I arrived to meet 4 people, 3 of which suffer from nerve pain. We have all experienced benefits from using the device and rate it highly. It appears that the others I met get a fortnights relief from pain from 5 minutes use of the device and then the pain returns gradually. I have found that I get 6 hours relief and then the pain returns instantly. However, saying this I am extremely grateful for the 6 hours relief I do get. Dr Teodor Goroszenuik has made adjustments to the device so that the current can be increased which I would benefit more from. I have used this device on my ankle TTS area, behind my knee (sciatic nerve) and also for my facial pain. It really cuts down/cuts out the symptoms of my neuropathy. Sometimes I go without eating and drinking because my facial pain is so bad and it sometime swells. I feel that continual use of the device will decrease my pain flare ups..but we will have to wait and see.

A lady I met yesterday has had a permanent headache for 3 years! She woke up one day with it, and it never went away. It has disrupted her life enormously. She said the device has been really helpful to her, before using it she would spend her time lying down unable to do anything.

There were about 11 people in the room, doctors, consultants, nurse’s etc and we (the patients) waited in the waiting room. One by one we went in to help Dr Teodor Goroszenuik demonstrate the machine and tell everyone about our pain/problems and the benefits from using the device. One by one we left the room beaming. It is amazing how the effects are instant after a few minutes use. As a nerve pain sufferer it’s hard to express how this device helps us so much, a non sufferer will never really understand. Maybe in the future there will be a machine which can measure pain levels and so then others can see the before and after results of various treatments.” Helen.

Other patients opinions - still to come
