PTA in California and have used a machine called EnterX, which is, I believe what you refer to as ETPS. I was doing a pre-purchase evaluation of the machine to see if our clinic would actually use it and if it was benifitial. personally, it helped me. I had OA pain in my foot and after using it one time my pain was gone for a week, when the pain returned I kinda blew off the machine. But i decided to do a few more treatments and it really helped and my OA pain hasn't returned. In the clinic it was very difficult to get good results as the salesman was present teaching us to use the machine and all pt's were slanted to making them feel successful. When the salesman awasn't there, the pt's were more honest and did not report success. I used the machine more than any one and i can honestly say, this has promise. I am not sure why, I would like to try a standard ES machine and utilize the same settings as the InterX to see if you can achieve the same results. My most successful pt was an odd one. (R)Oblique pain after abd surgery, proximal attachment. STM didn't help, heat/cold didnt help, stretching did nothing. The interx done 4 times eliminated pain. The salesman was very motivated and loaned us the machine for 2 months, thinking we would buy 4+ machines. we didnt' buy any as the data was so slanted towards positive when sales person was present. We also are moving away from modalities and this just didn't fit our needs. But I do see it in a chronic pain setting to be a successful tool. I hope this helped. SOrry about the typo's I need new glasses and it is early here so I am just typing away with out correcting, cause I am lazy. DIane I am a 30+ year lis.
