“…6 Iontophoresis is of particular interest to researchers as it is the form of electrotherapy, which uses a unidirectional galvanic current (GAL) to transfer pharmaceutically active ions (electronically charged molecules) across the skin membrane. 7 - 9 This can be considered a form of needleless injection. Based on the principle of like charges repelling, pharmaceutically active ions being placed under similarly charged anodes or cathodes are repelled with the application of the GAL electrical current.…”

“…This method is primarily used for the delivery of anti-inflammatory medications. 9 Other popular forms of electrotherapy such as high-volt stimulation (HVS) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) are also widely used. The HVS is used for the stimulation of wound healing, edema resolution, and pain relief, whereas TENS is primarily used for pain relief.…”

Introduction:Although electrotherapy appears to have particularly interesting applications in the field of postoperative orthopedic rehabilitation, relatively little scientifically based research has been conducted in the area of electrotherapy with regard to safety involving patients with orthopedic implants.Method:Three electrotherapy forms were tested, such as high-volt stimulation (HVS), transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS), and galvanic current (GAL), using a model system containing a metal implant plate to evaluate whether heating in excess of 3°C would occur.Results:All changes in temperature for HVS, GAL, and TENS therapeutic electrical currents observed in our model system fall below the predefined 3°C.Conclusion:To the best of our knowledge, this is the first experimental based observation that prolonged exposure to a direct electrical current at therapeutic strength does not result in heating of metal titanium plates.

Abstract:Aim of this explorative study is to determine the feasibility of muscle stretching during interferential current therapy (ICT) versus no stretching on hamstring extensibility and evaluate acute effects. It should generate hypothesis for further empirical studies. 12 amateur soccer players were included. Interventions: Hamstring stretching during ICT vs. rested. Main Outcome Measure was Fingertip-to-floor test (FTF) and was measured at baseline, 15, 45 and 90 minutes after intervention. Hamstring extensibility increased significantly in both groups with a median of 8.20 cm after 90 minutes in the IG compared to 5.90 cm in the CG. Hamstring extensibility could increase during ICT. However, the selection of the measurement method FTF should be reconsidered and for further research a sensitive and valid measurement tool should be selected.

“…Ferner sind nach Pavlin [3] moderater bis starker postoperativer Schmerz, aber auch Nebeneffekte durch Medikation mit Opioiden, in der Chirurgie eine häufige medizinische Ursache für Komplikationen, verspätete Entlassung, verzögerte Rekonvaleszenz, und ungeplante Wiederaufnahme der Behandlung. Physikalische Therapien stellen in verschiedenen Bereichen der modernen Schmerztherapie eine Alternativen dar [4][5][6], die sich, insbesondere bei langfristiger Anwendung, durch vorwiegend lokale Wirkung und weitgehende Nebenwirkungsfreiheit auszeichnen. Hierin bestehen entscheidende Unterschiede zu oral oder intravenös verabreichten, nicht selten mit erheblichen Nebenwirkungen behafteten Analgetika.…”
