Electrotherapy is the use of electrical energy as a medical treatment. [1] In medicine, the term electrotherapy can apply to a variety of treatments, including the use of electrical devices such as deep brain stimulators for neurological disease. [2] The term has also been applied specifically to the use of electric current to speed up wound ...
Electrotherapeutics is a general term for the use of electricity in therapeutics, i.e. in the alleviation and cure of disease. [1] It is used as a treatment, like electroconvulsive therapy and TENS. In the technical working of medical electrolysis the most minute precautions are required.
Chronic subcortical electrode implant in a laboratory rat used to deliver electrical stimulation to the brain. Electrical brain stimulation (EBS), also referred to as focal brain stimulation (FBS), is a form of electrotherapy and neurotherapy used as a technique in research and clinical neurobiology to stimulate a neuron or neural network in the brain through the direct or indirect excitation ...
Skin electrode gels are used extensively to reduce electrical resistance when using skin surface electrodes, both for medical instrumentation such as EEG, EMG and EKG, and for electrical stimulation treatments such as TENS, electrotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy and defibrillation.
A microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulator or MENS (also microamperage electrical neuromuscular stimulator) is a device used to send weak electrical signals into the body. Such devices apply extremely small microamp [uA] electrical currents (less than 1 milliampere [mA]) to the tissues using electrodes placed on the skin.
Cosmetic electrotherapy is a range of beauty treatments that uses low electric currents passed through the skin to produce several therapeutic effects [2] [unreliable source?] such as muscle toning in the body [3] [unreliable source?]: 226 and micro-lifting of the face. [4]
It can be used in the context of: Animal husbandry as part of the artificial insemination process; Bioelectromagnetics. Cranial electrotherapy stimulation; Transcranial magnetic stimulation; Transcorneal electrical stimulation; Electrical muscle stimulation. Bio-electric stimulation therapy; Functional electrical stimulation
Galvanic bath. Galvanic bath is an alternative medical treatment (a type of electrotherapy) based on the simultaneous use of water and electric current.The patient lies in a 34 degree Celsius bath, while gentle electric current is passed through his body.
