curpal® is one of the so-called manual therapies and is considered a promising addition to conservative therapy options. Because curpal® is a completely new treatment approach for which there are no studies yet, we asked our customers about their satisfaction. 297 responded - here are the numbers.
In total, we surveyed around 350 customers between October 2020 and March 2021, and we received 297 responses, including 63% women and 37% men.
When asked about the duration of use, 46% said they had used curpal® for 4 weeks, 51% indicated a period of use of 6 weeks, the rest used 8 weeks or longer. You have to know that the minimum application period should be 6 weeks.
In the case of complaints that are more severe or have existed for a longer period of time, it may take longer for the symptoms to subside.
How do you rate the handling?
We also asked our customers how they handling of the cuff judge. Here are the results:
How were your symptoms before the treatment?
12% stated that they suffer from slight discomfort. 46% reported more severe symptoms, waking them up at night from pain; and at least 25% stated that they had really severe complaints before the treatment, which interrupted their sleep several times during the night. 17% of those surveyed had complaints either only during the day or only at night.
How often have you used curpal®?
The recommendation for the application of curpal® is 3 x 3 x 3, which means three times a day, for example in the morning, at noon and in the evening, three times three minutes of treatment in a row, each with a short break. Two thirds of users also implemented this recommendation, a third treated less frequently. This group contained most of the patients who felt that the treatment did not meet their expectations.
And how successful was your treatment?
Regarding the reduction in their symptoms, 22% said they had felt no change, 47% reported a slight improvement in the symptoms, 30% reported a significant improvement and 1% stated that they had no symptoms at all after treatment with curpal®.
How old were the users?
In addition to the age, we were also interested in the answer to the question of how the users found curpal®. Our assumption was confirmed here: 91% found curpal® during their research on the Internet, the device from 2% was recommended by friends; at least 2% had curpal® recommended by a doctor or therapist, and another 5% became aware of the new method through newspapers and magazines.
Would you recommend curpal®?
"Yes, I would recommend curpal® unreservedly", said 67% of those treated, 24% gave a recommendation with reservations and only 9% were apparently not convinced and would rather not recommend the cuff. We think this is a really good result and an incentive for further improvements.
