Short Research Summary: A randomized, blinded, sham controlled study with 44 patients who had chronic neck pain. SONIK treated patients improved pain and neck disability scores significantly over shams.
Short Research Summary: Low frequency vibro-percussion wave stimulation to the spine known as SONIK treatment (formerly KKT) has been shown in the past through RCT studies, and in this specific case, demonstrated improvement in pain, function, quality of life, sleep, and trunk range of motion with no adverse events.

Short Research Summary: A study of 48 patients randomized to SONIK treatment or control group resulted in SONIK treatment patients reporting reduced low back pain scores [p < 0.001] and reduced pain medication dose [p = 0.05].

Short Research Summary: Focused vibro-percussive sound wave stimulation to the spine known as the SONIK treatment (formerly KKT) has in this case, and previously through RCT studies, demonstrated improvement in pain and function with no adverse events.
