SummarySummary• Subject reported an improvement in

range-of-motion (ROM)• Subject reported a decrease in pain

level during hand movement-Pain level decreased from a baseline of 7 to 3 on a scale of 10

• Subject reported an improved tissue flexibility and an ‘easing up’ of contracture and constriction

• Subject reported an improvement in range-of-motion (ROM)

• Subject reported a decrease in pain level during hand movement-Pain level decreased from a baseline of 7 to 3 on a scale of 10

• Subject reported an improved tissue flexibility and an ‘easing up’ of contracture and constriction

SummarySummary• Subject noticed an overall improvement• Subject was very satisfied with her

results• Subject reported a dramatic softening

of her nodule• Subject reported a dramatic softening

of her affected pretendinous fascia• Subject reported an improvement in

skin color

Followup~6 MonthsFollowup~6 MonthsThis subject did not receive any furtherCymatherapy® sessions for 6 months• Range of motion was even better than

after last session received• Nodule and pretendinous fascia

continued to improve• Pain levels continued to improve even

with increased levels of activity and weight bearing activities

Followup~6 MonthsFollowup~6 MonthsThese changes indicated that her

condition did not deteriorate (Dupuytren’s is progressively

degenerative) despite a very long gap in between Cymatherapy® sessions.

These changes may be indicative of a continuing regenerative process of the

tissue once harmonic frequency rebalancing is established in the cells,

resulting in healthy cell renewal.
