Hi Angel

Matrix Rhythm Therapy is a form of electrotherapy (treatment by some sort of electrical current that is applied to the body tissues) that is supposed to harmonise the rhythm of cells that have become out of sync. While there are some well recognised body rhythms such as heart beat and respiration Matrix Rhythm Therapy claims to identify and tap into more subtle cellular rhythms.

It is a completely novel therapy without any evidence that it works - as far as I can see - no clinical trials to date, and certainly no clinical trials on assisting the repair of perhipheral nerves. The theory behind it - at least what I could find, suggests a rather new age approach, rather than a truly scientific approach, and that it is without a sound biomedical base. Over the years the field of electrotherapy has produced a myriad of these sorts of fads that offer to heal all sorts of problems, often that don't have effective treatments that are already available. In fact there is a history of such electrical and magnetic treatments that even predates physiotherapy and go back to event to travelling quacks who would espouse panaceas to the vulnerable public.

So it probably will do nothing - but who knows. the final question then is can it do any harm? Many people are prepared to give these sorts of treatments a go, even without a sound base, as otherwise it is just waiting and seeing to what extent the nerve grows back of its own accord and as there are no sound treatments for nerve damage, some people are willing to experiment with these sorts of treatments. Sorry to say I know nothing of the safety of Matrix Rhythm Therapy, but this is a crucial question to know before trying such experimental treatments. As there are no studies of harm from such a therapy I would approach such treatment with caution. Protagonists often dismiss that their treatments can cause harm because they uses low levels of electrical activity. However any treatment that is powerful enough to have a therapeutic effect is probably also able to cause harm.
