Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

sham comparator: Sham Crossover

After the enrollment and lead in period, subjects will be given a sham device to sleep with every night for a month. They will be asked to fill out their pain and analgesic use logs, and undergo the bi weekly assessments. After a month they will be crossed over to an active "Painshield SAW patch device" and will continue to complete their pain and analgesic use logs as well as undergo biweekly assessments for months two and 3.

active comparator: Active Device

After the enrollent and lead in period, subjects will be given an active PainSHield SAW Patch device to sleep with every night. They will be asked to fill out their pain and analgesic use logs, and undergo bi weekly assessments. They will continue to use the device while completing their logs and undergoing assessments for 3 months.

Interventions

PainShield SAW Patch Device

The PainShield is a self contained Surface Acoustic Wave device, where the waves are delivered locally through a trasnducer embedded into a patch that sits on the affected area.

Primary outcome measure
