Abstract:Introduction: Interferential Current (IFC) has been studied in several clinical trials for the treatment of bowel motility disorders, most often in children. However, only moderate effects are reported and in contrast to IFC, the so-called placebo application is indiscernible. The mechanisms and neuroanatomic points of action remain elusive. Therefore, this therapy remains being questioned.
Methods: To gain objective experimental data about IFC stimulation, we examined this method ex-vivo in an isolated perfus… Show more
