Case Study: The Benefits of the Neubie Direct Current Electrical Stimulation Device for Pain, Spasticity, and Movement in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This case study reports the impact of the Neubie direct current electrical stimulation device in helping restore nerve conduction and function in a 65-year-old woman with sporadic ALS. Use of the Neubie began 12 months after her sudden onset of symptoms. By then, she could not move her fingers or toes, had drop foot, had lost considerable weight and muscle mass, and was in pain. After her first Neubie session, she could wiggle her toes and that movement persisted. After two months she had no hip pain and was moving her fingers, toes, hands, and feet. The Master Reset protocol was used to facilitate the calming of the nervous system and required a sequential increase of settings. She then developed tight, painful shoulders from being in a wheelchair and Neubie treatments on her shoulders ultimately allowed her to become pain-free and regain some range of motion to increase her shoulder flexibility. Her voice then became soft due to a weak diaphragm. After two months she could feel the Neubie treatments increase the innervation of her diaphragm. At the time of this data collection and work, she was pain-free, had increased movement and range of motion, and had more energy. She showed improvements in muscle activation and strength in her legs and was able to stand with assistance. The results of this case study support the need to further study the impact of the Neubie in ALS, especially early in the course of the disease.
