Pain Relief Patch

Pain Relief Patch
Pain whether it is back pain, neck pain, leg pain, shoulder pain, abdominal pain is very tough to cope up. From time immemorial therapies have been developed to reduce pain. These therapies ranges from age old traditional practices such as oil massage and acupuncture to modern days advanced pain management techniques. Researchers have been continuously working to develop pain relief medication.



Adding to the series of such medication is the pain relief patch. These patches can be applied to skin and give quick results in relieving pain. The underlying principle that makes this pain relief patch really work is the synchronization of drug release with the movement of inflamed tissue beneath the patch. One simple pain relief patch is made up of a flexible rubber film that is covered with a sheet of grooved micro porous polystyrene which has gutters roughly 3 micro meters wide and 1 micro meters deep. These gutters are filled with a liquid (essentially therapeutic) and again sealed with second rubber film.



When applied on the affected area this pain relief patch will slowly release the therapeutic liquid that will be absorbed by the skin and provide relief to the inflammation areas. These therapeutic patches seem to be breakthrough development in non-invasive pain relief techniques. Simply applying a pain relief patch will give respite to the patients who are suffering from chronic pains.



The other important thing to be noted is that these patches will release the liquid at a controlled pace which will make them more effective and usable for longer duration. For patients suffering from rheumatism or chronic muscular pain this pain relief patch is a boon in disguise.



Pain relief patch has provided respite to most of the patients from pain killers and injections that were generally used to treat their painful conditions. What else can be expected from these patches as they are readily available in the market and one need not be an expert medical practitioner in using them? They are easy to carry, handy to keep and effective to use. Having these pain relief patches readily available with them, one can look forward to a pain free life.
