This case study reports the impact of the Neubie direct current electrical stimulation device in helping restore nerve conduction and function in a 65-year-old woman with sporadic ALS. Use of the Neubie began 12 months after her sudden onset of symptoms. By then, she could not move her fingers or toes, had drop foot, had lost considerable weight and muscle mass, and was in pain. After her first Neubie session, she could wiggle her toes and that movement persisted. After two months she had no hip pain and was moving her fingers, toes, hands, and feet. The Master Reset protocol was used to facilitate the calming of the nervous system and required a sequential increase of settings. She then developed tight, painful shoulders from being in a wheelchair and Neubie treatments on her shoulders ultimately allowed her to become pain-free and regain some range of motion to increase her shoulder flexibility. Her voice then became soft due to a weak diaphragm. After two months she could feel the Neubie treatments increase the innervation of her diaphragm. At the time of this data collection and work, she was pain-free, had increased movement and range of motion, and had more energy. She showed improvements in muscle activation and strength in her legs and was able to stand with assistance. The results of this case study support the need to further study the impact of the Neubie in ALS, especially early in the course of the disease.
本案例研究报告了Neubie直流电刺激设备对一名65岁散发性肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)女性患者恢复神经传导和功能的影响。在她突然出现症状12个月后开始使用Neubie。当时,她无法移动手指或脚趾,出现足下垂,体重和肌肉量大幅下降,且疼痛难忍。在第一次接受Neubie治疗后,她能够扭动脚趾,且该动作得以持续。两个月后,她的臀部不再疼痛,手指、脚趾、手部和脚部都能活动了。采用主复位方案来促进神经系统的平静,且需要逐步增加设置。之后,由于长期坐在轮椅上,她的肩膀变得紧绷疼痛,而对肩膀进行Neubie治疗最终使她不再疼痛,并恢复了一些活动范围,增加了肩部灵活性。随后,由于膈肌无力,她的声音变得微弱。两个月后,她能感觉到Neubie治疗增强了膈肌的神经支配。在收集这些数据并开展此项工作时,她已不再疼痛,活动和活动范围增加,精力也更充沛了。她腿部的肌肉激活和力量有所改善,在他人协助下能够站立。本案例研究结果支持有必要进一步研究Neubie对ALS的影响,尤其是在疾病早期阶段。
