Ultrasound Pain Device

Student develops miniature ultrasound pain relief device.
The Los Angeles Times (7/5, Dance) reported on "a coin-size device to make ultrasound pain relief available any time, anywhere." The device is being developed by George Lewis, a biomedical engineering student who is about to receive his doctorate from Cornell University, and who says his ultrasound generator "calms aches and joint pain." Lewis "has tried the device on a few dozen sufferers...and most, he says, report that it relieves their pain," although "the results are very preliminary."
