Whether looking to soothe sundry sore bits or to instantly anaesthise an annoying ache, an instantly poppable pill is almost certainly your first port of call. Such a day-to-day partiality to pharmaceuticals, however, may soon be a thing of the past, thanks to Quell 2.0, which its makers assure is a truly wearable pain relief device.
Nattily knocked up by NeuroMetrix, a Massachusetts-based biomedical business, this high-tech bit of wrist-mounted relief from anything likely to wrack you is marketed as 100-percent drug-free, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Instead of cunning chemical agents, it is said to use gentle prescription-strength nerve-stimulation technology to target and block areas of chronic discomfort, most notably when it comes to the arms, legs or feet.
Boasting a slim design that’s apparently 50 percent less chunky than its predecessor, the Quell 2.0 delivers wearers from discomfort 24 X 7, with NeuroMetrix’s professors of pain dispellation considering three therapy sessions a day for a month as likely to ensure optimal succour, while also not doing harm to their financials. If you remain a tad sceptical, fear not, for the company offers a 60-day money back should any twinge remain uncountered. That’s pain-free, non-narcotic bliss or your US$299 back, no questions asked. Probably.
