ABSTRACT:
A digit therapy device and method for progressively desensitizing a patient's sensitive digit tip such as a sensitive tip of a finger, thumb, toe or big toe. In one embodiment of the invention, the device comprises at least one elongated flexible member and an optional torsion adjuster for varying the torsion of the at least one elongated flexible member. In another embodiment, the device comprises at least one ridge and/or at least one strip adapted for progressively desensitizing a sensitive digit tip. In a further embodiment, a novel method is provided for desensitizing a sensitive digit tip comprising, for example, the step of repeatedly running a sensitive digit tip across at least one elongated flexible member, ridge or strip adapted to facilitate the desensitization of the sensitive digit tip.
