Ivivi Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:II), an innovator of non-invasive, electrotherapeutic technology, today commented on the recent American Heart Association�s (AHA) Scientific Statement, published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, recommending that due to increased risk of heart attack and stroke, physicians should avoid prescribing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to patients at risk for, or with, heart disease, unless other non-pharmacological treatments have failed to produce the desired clinical result. Andre� DiMino, Vice Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, stated, �AHA�s guideline should serve as a �call to action� for physicians and the medical community, encouraging further exploration of the benefits of non-pharmacological therapies to reduce chronic pain. We intend to initiate a working relationship with the AHA to ensure that its member physicians and other healthcare professionals are aware of the benefits of Ivivi�s Electroceuticals� and how they could be useful in light of the AHA�s guideline to use non-pharmacological therapies whenever possible.� Great strides have been made over the past several years in elucidating the mechanisms of action of pulsed electromagnetic field, or PEMF. This technology, which creates non-thermal electrical current in injured soft tissue, is specifically configured to augment the biochemical and physiological processes used by the human body to reduce pain and edema in its natural quest for tissue repair. The Company�s proprietary PEMF signals, which are referred to as Electroceuticals�, are delivered by devices which have been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of post-operative pain and edema in soft tissue. These devices have been used in over 600,000 non-invasive applications for the treatment of pain and edema following plastic and reconstructive surgery and chronic inflammatory disorders, including chronic wounds. The therapy is non-toxic and has no known side effects. �The positive benefits of electromagnetic modulation of the body�s own electrochemical physiology have been demonstrated in animal and human clinical studies for the treatment of recalcitrant fractures and chronic wounds. PEMF efficacy has also been demonstrated for increased growth of blood vessels and reduction of pain and swelling after surgical procedures, and shows great promise as an alternative to NSAIDs for the relief of chronic and acute pain,� said Dr. Arthur A. Pilla, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Columbia University, Science Director and Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board, Ivivi Technologies, Inc., and inventor of the first PEMF bone growth stimulator which was FDA-cleared for recalcitrant fracture repair. �Ivivi believes the world of medicine is on the verge of exploiting the relationship between the body�s electrochemistry and healing. Electrotherapeutics has been shown to be inherently safer than many drugs, which Ivivi believes creates a natural advantage for patients, healthcare professionals and even insurers. Certainly, the use of PEMF technology in orthopedics has resulted in significant reductions in morbidity and the cost of health care for these indications since 1980.� In its Scientific Statement, the AHA has specifically stated that some NSAIDs, including ibuprofen and cox2 inhibitors, increase the risk of heart failure, stroke, hypertension and gastrointestinal bleeding in some patients.
