Many of us are familiar with TENS machines for pain relief — but have you tried using microcurrent TENS in conjunction with acupuncture points to target pain and support tissue healing? Well-designed clinical trials show strong evidence that microcurrent therapy can accelerate healing, reduce pain, and even support muscle regeneration, especially in wounds, burns, and joint/soft tissue injuries. Optimal dosing and professional guidance are essential to avoid adverse outcomes. Clinical Evidence for Tissue Healing Wound & Ulcer Healing Meta-analysis of 8 RCTs (337 participants): Adding microcurrent to standard wound care led to significantly faster reduction in wound surface area (approx. −8.3 cm²) and shorter healing time (about 7 days faster) compared to standard care alone. It also reduced pain without increasing adverse events en.wikipedia.org+11en.wikipedia.org+11en.wikipedia.org+11reddit.com+2pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+2en.wikipedia.org+2. Pressure Ulcer RCT in elderly patients: Daily 10-hour microcurrent use over 25 days improved ulcer healing by ~25% more than sham, both quantitatively and qualitatively pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+2mdpi.com+2pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov+2.

Post-rotator cuff repair rehab: Users of microcurrent therapy showed greater pain relief, grip strength, range of motion, and shoulder function compared to controls reddit.com+3mdpi.com+3reddit.com+3. Suggested Micro-TENS Settings (General Guide): ParameterTypical Range Current100–600 µA (microamps) Frequency0.5–8 Hz for healing; 80–100 Hz for blocking pain Treatment Time10–30 minutes per area Session Frequency1–2 times daily for acute; 3–4x/week for chronic Unlike regular TENS, micro-TENS uses currents in the microamp range (much lower intensity), which some researchers believe can stimulate cellular repair, increase ATP production, and reduce inflammation. When used along specific acupoints, some claim it enhances both pain-blocking and healing effects. Has anyone tried this approach? What settings or points worked best for you? Did you find it helpful for chronic injuries or nerve pain? Here are some tips on placement

Watched the first episode of Art Detectives last night, quite entertaining for what it is, same sort of show as Death in Paradise if you watched that one. Two episodes out on EZTV

Ukraine can make way more weapons than the country can buy. Industry figures say there's a simple fix to unlocking its potential. By Sinéad Baker Ukraine's defense industry says it is prepared to produce much more weaponry than it is currently making. The problem is that the Ukrainian government can't afford the multi-billion-dollar price tag for production. But it says there's a straightforward solution. Ukraine's defense industry has boomed since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with manufacturers ranging from huge outfits to small companies based in people's garages. These companies are crucial, especially at times when Western support is uncertain. Full story: https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-defense-industry-can-make-more-weapons-extra-capacity-2025-6
