Treatment helps to turbocharge the activity of platelets, which are cell fragments that form blood clots, according to preliminary results presented at the 2024 Society for Neuroscience conference.

Treatment does not work like a typical tourniquet that blocks blood flow to injured appendages.

Instead, electrical pulses help to stimulate the spleen, which stores about one-third of the body's platelets.
