Clinical Validation on the Role of Electrostatic Therapy in Relieving Severe Cancer-Associated Pain; A Case Series

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Cancer-related pain presents in a broad range of patients who suffer from cancer. Although there have been significant improvements in the clinical management of cancer patients, the known therapeutic approaches to this challenge are still inefficient. Methods: In this study, we reported 5 cases of advanced metastatic cancer, all of whom engaged in home recovery strategies applying electrostatic therapy devices. Results: The application of electrostatic therapy is an appropriate method for metastatic cancer patients, leading to a reduction in the need for painkillers and opioid-related drugs. Conclusions: Regarding the increase in cancer incidence, this simple, safe, and non-pharmacologic method can address the high load on the medical care system. Furthermore, home therapies were deployed in the absence of the capability to deliver non-emergency and non-life-threatening care during pandemic social distancing.
