Sounding rather like a wannabe disaffected rap performer, the ENM (Electronic Nerve Modulation) device promises to deliver us from pain. Without the pills or the prescriptions. �165.00. There’s one for pets too.

‘The ENM device produces rapid electrical impulses that alter (modulate) the way in which the deeper nerves of the Central Nervous System (CNS) conduct chronic pain signals as those signals travel along the spinal column to the brain. ENM is designed to treat chronic pain such as recurring neck and back pain, limb pain such as Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI), wear and tear arthritis and burnt out rheumatoid arthritis, migraine, pancreatitis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, post mastectomy pain, post shingles pain, cancer pain, neuralgia, phantom limb pain and pain associated with stroke and angina.’
