Interesting. Never heard of this machine. I wonder if it's mostly for animals?Steve, the only kind of shock therapy I've heard about is from the Ice Man, Wim Hof. . You can Google Wim Hof or/and watch him on youtube. He has a very large following. It's not my cup of tea but I guess it works for some.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but some studies have found that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can potentially make a big difference in fibromyalgia pain. I've seen some posts on reddit from people who did it and found a big reduction in their pain, but at the cost of their memory. Some people forgot entire years of their lives, which is terrifying to me.
