ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying whether a treatment called biophoton therapy can help reduce chronic severe pain in people with arthritis. The therapy uses special devices called Tesla BioHealing® Biophoton Generators, which participants will use while they sleep. About 102 people, aged 18 to 80, with at least three months of ongoing arthritis pain rated at 5 out of 10 or higher will be eligible to join. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the treatment group, who will use the active devices, or a control group, who will use similar devices that do not have the active therapy. Both groups will participate in the study for 12 weeks, and neither the participants nor the study staff will know who is receiving the actual therapy to ensure fair results.
Throughout the study, participants will complete various questionnaires to track changes in their pain levels and overall quality of life. After the initial 12 weeks, those in the control group may have the option to switch to the active treatment for an additional 4 to 12 weeks. It's important to note that participants must be fluent in English and able to commit to the study requirements. Certain health conditions and treatments may disqualify individuals from participating, such as untreated psychiatric issues or specific medical devices like pacemakers. This study aims to find out if biophoton therapy can effectively help people manage their arthritis pain.
