A patient who had been taking about 130 painkillers a day and developed severe dependence and addiction was reportedly cured through a new treatment at Rambam Hospital in Israel. The procedure is described as innovative and based on sound waves, and it took about 20 minutes.
The report presents the case as a breakthrough in treating addiction to pills and raises questions about how the therapy works, whether it can help with other addictions, and when it will become available to the public. The article does not say how many patients have received the treatment or provide broader clinical results.
The development is being highlighted by News 13 as a major medical advance in Israel. The focus of the report is the treatment itself, the dramatic recovery of the patient, and the potential for wider use beyond this specific case.
