I use a AI a lot to write. I struggle to stay focused and organize my thoughts. So I let AI organize it for me. I just type everything I know or want to say, and ask it to help me better articulate my thoughts.

I’m a terrible writer. AI allows me to better communicate with my audience.

I detest the term so much. It’s over used and it simplifies complex processes of disease.

When I use AI to help me write posts or blogs I tell it to never use it.

Yes. It’s the Cefaly device. I’m saying that it’s just a site specific TENS unit.

eTNS is just a way to differentiate it from a general device. It’s still a TENS unit at the end of the day.

The electrical parameters from the Cefaly can be set up on a basic tens unit (250 μs, 100 Hz).

eTNS = TENS unit with name change for marketing purposes

I’m glad it helps though.

Honestly, it’s FREE to post a video on YouTube! 🆓 It would save so much time ⏳ and make it easier to translate research into real-world, evidence-based practice.

If we’re aiming to improve patient care through evidence, it needs to be more accessible and actionable.

Here an example: 🧵⬇️

3/ 💡 Why This Matters:
Flexibility in how you schedule these sessions makes it easier to stick to a routine, whether at home, at the gym, or at work.

Supervised programs showed additional benefits too, like reducing reliance on pain meds, highlighting the value of guidance and accountability. ⬇️🧵
