Treatment helping those with muscular dystrophy

Campbell, who's had several back surgeries, is one of the latest high-profile people to be treated by a device called "Vecttor."

It was designed by a Houston pain physician.

Vecttor uses electrodes to help increase oxygen levels in the blood stream and improve circulation.

If it works, it could give Campbell a new lease on life.

Recently, the FDA approved Vecttor for the treatment of chronic pain but soon it will be tested out on patients with Muscular Dystrophy as part of a clinical trial in Houston.
