Bionicare Hand Device relieves arthritis pain
posted November 17th 2005 1:05PM
One of the downsides of continuously increasing our lifespans is the aches and pains associated with the aging
process, specifically the rheumatoid arthritis that can stop a snarky writer dead in his/her tracks. Well there is now
another solution on the market for arthritic patients, Bionicare Medical Technologies' RA Hand Device, which the
company claims is "the first and only non-drug, non-invasive option cleared by the FDA." The system consists of the
conductive glove and arm band (plus electrode gel), wired signal generator, and 2 military-like shirts for wire
management, and was found to improve patient-reported pain levels in a double-blind placebo-controlled study. Luckily
for you, dear reader, wearing these gloves, along with switching to the
Prestigio anti-glare LCDs we brought you yesterday,
should allow us to continue bringing you our subversive take on all things gadgety well into our 90's.

RA is not a disease associated with age. as a matter of fact the onset of RA is typically in the late teens to mid 20s. i was diagnosed when i was 25. not taht you guys are reporting for the nytimes or anything, but can you at least look shit up before you just blabb about it? thanks.
Yeah, you guys must be thinking of osteoarthritis. Or just someone with RA that's gotten really bad.
