Doubts have been raised over a pen which claims to click away pain. Photo: NZ HeraldA pen which its makers claim can click away pain without drugs has come under fire, with Consumer NZ saying there is no evidence the device works. According to the company's website, when the pen is clicked against the point of pain about 30 or 40 times the body's endorphins are stimulated, acting as a natural pain killer. "The Pain Erazor naturally stimulates your body's endorphin's[sic], nature's own painkillers, to send real pain relief - right where you need it." However it said Pain Erazor provided no evidence the pen had been successfully shown to work.
