Abstract
Treatment of patients with pain is directed at relieving pain and restoring function. Heat therapy has been used as a pain treatment. The mean temperatures were 40 and 41°C. Our device, Dr.Pakk heats special silicone to 41°C with far-infrared rays and attaches it to the painful knee using a vacuum to show the effect. The core technology of the Dr.Pakk is that deep heat is generated when the heat is transmitted deeply by attaching it to the skin. In our experience, Dr.Pakk can be especially effective for knee pain.
