(OTCQX:CTTC), the licensed distributor of the non-invasive Calmare® chronic pain therapy medical device, announced today that the company's non-invasive and non-narcotic chronic pain therapy technology was highlighted in a recent KSL-TV News report.

The patients interviewed in the news report had been suffering with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), Idiopathic Neuropathy, Neurovascular Dystrophy and severe hip pain and had tried various therapies, including narcotic painkillers.
Scrambler Therapy is extremely effective in treating a significant percentage of patients who are unresponsive or minimally responsive to painkillers – including those based on opiates – or other forms of pain treatment such as conventional electroanalgesia.
Calmare has been receiving more attention in the medical community as more clinical studies are being conducted. As more physicians utilize Calmare treatments with their chronic pain patients, more patient testimonials, including those highlighted in the TV report, are being recognized.
