“…A study conducted by Ratajczak B, Hawrylak A et al to compare the efficiency of analgesic Diadynamic current therapy and TENS in low back discopathy in age group of 45 to 60 years who was diagnosed with low back pain syndrome due to discopathy where subjected to therapy. On the basis of research they concluded that Diadynamic current and TENS therapies in low back discopathy have an analgesic impact and improve functional fitness [7]. Present study agreed with a clinical trial by Philipson T, et al on the application of Diadynamic current on chronic soft-tissue pain in the neck and shoulder girdle.…”

Relevance: Heel pain is one of the most common conditions leading to functional disabilities seen worldwide. There are different methods to manage heel pain, conservatively, and/or surgically. Physiotherapy treatment, as a part of conservative management, involves reduction of pain and improvement of functional ability by various approaches like exercise therapy, electrotherapy and manual therapy techniques. Various studies have shown that Diadynamic current and MENS along with conventional treatments give significant beneficial effects in pain reliving. Hence the present study was undertaken to compare and see the effect of Diadynamic current and MENS in heel pain. Participants: 30 subjects (mean age 25.73 ± 6.56) diagnosed with heel pain were recruited from OutPatient

Introduction: Degenerative or traumatic causes are most common in generating sciatica syndrome, which is normally treated with well-known physical therapy methods. A relatively new way of treating sciatica problems is so-called functional magnetic stimulation (FMS), whose principle is based on electromagnetic field inducing electrical field inside the body. Electrical field triggers action potential of nerve cells and that way stimulates peripheral motor nerve system. Aim: Aim of this study is to measure and estimate the effectiveness of implementing therapy with functional magnetic stimulation in regular physical treatment of sciatica syndrome. Materials and Methods: 28 male patients aged between 30 and 55 with back problem were recruited on an outpatient basis. FMS therapy was performed with TESLA Stym ® device (Iskra Medical d.o.o., Slovenia) treating lumbosacral region equally on both sides of the spine. Physical examination was performed to evaluate tree parameters: the mobility of the lumbar spine in flexion and extension, together with the straight leg raise test (Lasegue sign). We estimated patients' progress, comparing angle values of mobility from the first examination day with other examination days. Results: In FMS treated group of patients, lumbosacral flexion, extension and Lasegue test angle were significantly higher compared to day 0 on the first physical examination day (day 3) (p < 0.05). In control group such increase of a measured angle was not noticed until a second physical examination day (day 5) or a third physical examination day (day 8) (p < 0.05). Discussion: Results in this study showed that applying FMS therapy along with other standard physical therapy methods rapidly increased effectiveness of the treatment of sciatica syndrome (lat. ischialgia). It suggests that functional magnetic therapy could be suggested as a regular physical therapy method in treating this kind of pain syndromes.

“…Faradic and diadynamic stimulations promoted the most significant enhancement in both speed and cathodal directionality amongst the physical therapy waveforms. Faradic stimulation is known to promote collagen organization whereas diadynamic stimulation is one of the mostly used electrotherapeutic methods for soft tissue injury 16, 29. It is interesting to note that while HVPGS has been demonstrated to increase proliferation, collagen synthesis and skin wound healing, no significant effect of increased cell migration was found 30.…”

Guided cell migration is important in tissue development, repair, and engineering. We have previously demonstrated that applied electric fields (EFs) enhanced and directed ligament fibroblast migration and collagen production, depending on EF parameters. Electrical stimulation is widely used for the treatment of pain and to promote wound healing. In orthopaedic practices, applied EFs promote bone healing and ligament repair in vivo. In the current study, stimulation waveforms used in physical therapy for promoting tissue repair were adapted to examine their effects on ACL fibroblast migration. Using different waveform and field strengths, we discovered a decoupling of cell motility and directionality, which suggests disparate mechanisms. Integrin, a major extracellular matrix receptor, polarized in response to applied EFs and controlled cell directionality and signaling. Furthermore, we demonstrated that RhoA is a mediator between integrin aggregation and directed cell migration. Polarization is essential in directed cell migration and our study establishes an outside-in signaling mechanism for EF-induced cell directionality. ß
