Abstract EN
The Electro-Neuro-Adaptive-Regulator (ENAR) device is a hand-held electrotherapy which is applied using energetic medicine principles and aspects of acupuncture theory.
The aim of this paper is to report the findings of a postmarket survey of persons who have used the ENAR device.
The conditions for which the therapy was used and its perceived effectiveness are discussed.
A web-based survey of Australian recipients of ENAR therapy was completed by 481 respondents.
Most (76%) used ENAR exclusively for pain relief for musculoskeletal disorders, especially back, shoulder, and neck pain; 8% used ENAR exclusively for nonmusculoskeletal disorders; while 16% used ENAR for both.
Respondents reported a mean reduction in pain of 70% (t(423) = 38.73, P<.001) and functional improvement of 62% (t(423) = 10.45, P<.001) using 11-point numerical rating scales.
Following ENAR treatment, medication reduction was reported by 91% of respondents.
Most respondents reported high satisfaction following ENAR therapy, with between 15 and 20% achieving complete pain relief.
The self-delivery of ENAR may, in part, account for the high level of satisfaction.
