The Morph Device offers opioid-dependent patients a 100% drug-free way to withdrawal. The device is cleared by the FDA to help significantly reduce the painful symptoms of opioid withdrawal. The Morph Device is a small electrical nerve stimulator placed behind a patient’s ear. It stimulates the cranial nerves in the ear to aid in the reduction of withdrawal symptoms.
Removing Pain as a Treatment Barrier
A recent March 2018 survey of professionals in the addiction treatment field found most patients consider the “pain of withdrawal” as the number one barrier to seeking opioid addiction treatment. Further, between four and five out of every 10 patients quit detox because of the severity of withdrawal symptoms. The Morph Device helps to remove that pain and fear that comes along with withdrawal – helping more patients successfully transition to treatment.
How It Works
- The Morph Device is a percutaneous nerve field stimulator (PNFS). Once implanted, the device causes electrical stimulation which enhances the release of neuropeptides in patient’s central nervous system. These neuropeptides then bind with specific receptors to alleviate the physical symptoms of withdrawal.
- The Morph Device can last up to 10 days.
- It can achieve more than a 60% reduction of withdrawal scores after just 20 minutes of use.
- 80% reduction of withdrawal scores within 60 minutes.
- The device can be tested anytime in the 10-day period to ensure it’s working properly.
