2. Cramp fasciculation syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramp_fasciculation_syndrome

   Cramp fasciculation syndrome (CFS) is a rare [1] peripheral nerve hyperexcitability disorder. It is more severe than the related (and common) disorder known as benign fasciculation syndrome; it causes fasciculations, cramps, pain, fatigue, and muscle stiffness similar to those seen in neuromyotonia (another related condition). [2]

3. Microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcurrent_electrical...

   Most microcurrent treatments concentrate on pain and/or speeding healing and recovery. [4] It is commonly used by professional and performance athletes with acute pain and/or muscle tenderness as it is drug-free and non-invasive, thus avoiding testing and recovery issues. It is also used as a cosmetic treatment. [5]

4. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcutaneous_electrical...

   A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is a device that produces mild electric current to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.TENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation, but the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely, to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable ...

5. Electrical muscle stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_muscle_stimulation

   This is distinct from transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), in which an electric current is used for pain therapy. "The main difference is the desired outcome. TENS unit is a medical device for pain relief. The desired outcome is to reduce pain by stimulating different nerve signals.

6. Cramp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramp

   Cramps are different from muscle contracture, which is also painful and involuntary, but which is electrically silent. The main distinguishing features of cramps from dystonia are suddenness with acute onset of pain, involvement of only one muscle and spontaneous resolution of cramps or their resolution after stretching the affected muscle. [2 ...

7. Frequency specific microcurrent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_specific_micro...

   Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) or frequency Specific Microcurrent Therapy (FSMT) is the practice of introducing a mild electrical current into an area of damaged soft tissue. Practitioners claim that the introduced current enhances the healing process underway in that same tissue.

8. Electrotherapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrotherapy

   The term has also been applied specifically to the use of electric current to speed up wound healing. The use of electromagnetic stimulation or EMS is also very wide for dealing with muscular pain. [3] Additionally, the term "electrotherapy" or "electromagnetic therapy" has also been applied to a range of alternative medical devices and ...

9. Bioelectromagnetic medicine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectromagnetic_medicine

   Bioelectromagnetic medicine deals with the phenomenon of resonance signaling and discusses how specific frequencies modulate cellular function to restore or maintain health. Such electromagnetic (EM) signals are then called medical information , which are used in health informatics .
