Transcutaneous electrical stimulation using kilohertz-frequency alternating current (AC) became popular in the 1950s with the introduction of "interferential currents," promoted as a means of producing depth-efficient stimulation of nerve and muscle. Later, "Russian current" was adopted as a means of muscle strengthening. This article reviews some clinically relevant, laboratory-based studies t...

Introduction:- There are no studies in the literature on combined effect of interference current, ultrahigh-frequency and exercise recurrent knee pain due to osteoarthritis. is consensus optimal frequency, duration, intensity exercise. Aim:- To study interferential exercises osteoarthritis discover intensity, duration exercises. Material Methods:- Twelve outpatients (age 63.43±6.24 years) with...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND/AIM; Complex regional pain syndrom type I (CRPS I) is characterised by continuous regional pain, disproportional according to duration and intensity and to the sort of trauma or other lesion it was caused by. The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare, by using thermovison, the effects of low level laser therapy and therapy with interferential current in treatment of...

This multicenter study was carried out on a population of female patients suffering from lower back pain due to a recent vertebral fracture. The painful symptoms were controlled using an innovative, medium frequency and constant intensity analgesic current, known as Horizontal Therapy. The double blind results were compared with Interferential Current therapy and a placebo. This joint study was...

This article reviews the use of electrotherapy for pain relief. Authors present the basis of the successfull electrotherapy to treat many types of pain. In addition, the article described neurophysiological and neurochemical mechanisms by which non-pharmacological methods like: direct current stimulation (DCS), microcurrent electrical therapy (MET), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (...
