A PORTABLE electronic device known as XPAIN-TSE provides relief from persistent pain and today, we have three free samples to give away to readers.

They would be ideal for people with migraine, but would help other types of pain too.

The device is in use at one in three NHS pain management clinics and hospitals around the UK. A recent study suggests it is saving the NHS "a considerable amount of money."

XPAIN -TSE has revolutionised the way people manage long-term pain anywhere in the body. The battery-operated device, the size of a pack of playing cards, is simple to use and works by transmitting controlled, sensation-free, electronic pulses to the spinal column via a pair of self-adhesive electrodes that attach to the patient's back.

The device has proved successful on patients with osteo-arthritis, period pain, post shingles pain, tension headaches, back pain, post-operative pain and ME as well as many other complaints that produce persistent pain.

It has no known side effects, does not interfere with other medicines and will not prevent people from feeling pain that requires immediate medical attention, such as that caused by appendicitis, meningitis, heart pain, dental abscess, or acute pain from a new injury.

XPain-TSE costs £99 and is made by Advanced Pain Management Ltd., Blackburn (tel: 01254 611431)
