Research
NeoRhythm is based on numerous studies and treatment protocols (intensity, positioning).
Hundreds of relevant scientific studies and publications have been reviewed and evaluated during our 3 (and more) years of research and development. Below is the list of core studies (most of them have been made on multi-coil systems) that have directed the research and shaped the design of our devices.
