Electroanalgesia

Electroanalgesia is a way to reduce pain by using electricity. Imagine you have a Lego tower and you accidentally step on it. It hurts a lot! But, what if you could hold a magic wand that uses electricity to make the pain go away? That's what electroanalgesia does!

To use electroanalgesia, a doctor will place special stickers called electrodes on your skin. These stickers are like little doors that let electricity in and out. The doctor will then turn on a machine that sends small amounts of electricity through these stickers and into your body.

The electricity travels through your skin, muscles, and nerves. It can block signals of pain from your brain and make you feel better. It's like putting your hands over your ears when it's too loud. The sound can't get through as well and it's not too loud anymore.

Electroanalgesia can help with all sorts of pain, like headaches, back pain, or pain after surgery. The best part is that electroanalgesia is safe and doesn't usually hurt. You might feel a little tingle or tickle from the electricity, but it won't hurt like stepping on a Lego tower!
