A new study in the U.S has seen 180 men and women receive the new treatment. The study showed a pain levels were reduced by more than a third. The therapy which is known as Perisosteal involves direct electrical stimulation of the periosteum.
The way it’s thought to work is the stimulation interferes with the pain signals. The treatment consists of four fine needles are placed in the periosteum for one minute.
This is great news for suffers, it’s thought that this treatment will be available in the next few years. Until then the best aid to painful joints is glucosamine and glucosamine gel.
