defined flare of symptoms when NSAID treatment was discontinued in the
pretreatment washout. This pretreatment washout and flair requirement
makes it easier to demonstrate effectiveness by any treatment. This was
evidenced by the meta-analysis as when they removed the studies which
excluded nonresponders to NSAID treatment the effect size for pain
decreased to 0.23 (0.15 to 0.31). Thus, even the effect size for pinch force
and grip strength (0.4 and 0.3 respectively) are respectable, particularly
since multiple studies have demonstrated that surgery of the hand can
improve pain but does not increase strength as measured by pinch force
and grip strength.
Introducing the BioniCare Hand System
The BioniCare System is prescribed by physicians and other medical
professionals to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis of the hand.
It is a non-drug, noninvasive therapy delivering a unique electrical
impulse. The BioniCare BIO-2000 Generator (Signal Generator) sends this
low voltage impulse to the hand via a conductive system comprising a
conducting glove and individual conductors placed over each finger tip.
People diagnosed with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis of the hand
who regularly use the BioniCare System experience significant reduction
of pain and improvement in overall function, and may avoid costly, riskier
treatments over the long term. For more information, visit our web site at
