- Clinical Applications
SAM has been studied for a little over a decade on a variety of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions from overuse injuries or disease. In addition to treating injuries, SAM has also been studied to accelerate muscle recovery and athletic performance.
- Arthritis Pain and Joint Stiffness
SAM is indicated for the treatment of pain and joint stiffness (contracture) for use on a daily basis for 4 hours. Three clinical studies have been conducted on arthritis conditions supported by funding from the United States National Institutes of Health[1] [2][3]. In one randomized placebo controlled trail on knee arthritis, treatment of patients resulted in a 39.0% reduction in knee pain levels. In a second study on arthritis, six-weeks of SAM therapy, reduced pain by 37.1% and increased range of motion by over 5 times. The SAM device continues to be supported by the U.S. federal government to provide an alternative non-pharmaceutical treatment for arthritis pain which can be used by patients on a daily basis.
