Core of the products is a new clinically tested electrotherapeutical method against pain for home use - Small Fiber Matrix Stimulation. It uses the ability of the human pain-transmitting system for neuroplasticity, the ability also to "forget" pain by certain movements.
The name Small Fiber Matrix Stimulation® (SFMS) derives from Small Fiber, the term for the pain fibers whose hyperactivity is normalized in a targeted way with this electrotherapy, Matrix, the specific arrangement of the spot electrodes that are used in electrostimulation with the SFMS, and Stimulation, the effect on the pain fibers produced through the use of the SFMS.
