Yes, I have heard of similar claims. This was before Eye Movement
Desentization and Reprocessing.
It is likely a clinical observation rather than a researched topic.
It would be similar to the following:
"Bottini et al (1995) revealed that cold water placed in the ear of a brain
damaged patient who had lost his sense of touch causes him to temporarily
regain his sense of touch. "We show that in normal subjects touch and
vestibular signals share projections to the putamen, insula, somatosensory
area II, premotor cortex and supramarginal gyrus. In our patient a subset of
these regions (right putamen and insula) was paired by the lesion and was
maximally active when touch and vestibular stimulation were combined."
This suggests a gaussian projection area with brain damage to the activating
area, the opponent area signals no sense of touch. When the information is
phase shifted the wavelets activate another part of the gaussian projection
area restoring temporarily the sense of touch."
Another way of causing wavelet phase shifting would be to move your eyes. I
recently suggested this for reducing classical conditioned food aversions
due to cancer treatment. Based on similar idea of constructive additive
wavelet interference the suggestion of holding a vibrating tooth brush may
have helped a patient with Parkinson disease to write a check.
