an alternating electric current having a frequency of 10,000 or more cycles per second ; it produces no muscular contractions and does not affect the sensory nerves.

Starting form faradic type current, modified faradic current, electro-therapeutic currents including alternating, direct and pulsed currents, interrupted direct current, evenly alternating currents including sinusoidal currents and di-dynamic currents, Interrupted Galvanic current to the Electrical Nerve Stimulation, …
Read moreWhich is Better Tens or IFT?
Conclusion: Both TENS and IFT are equally effective in the relief of pain in primary dysmenorrhea . However, tolerance to IFT currents is better among young women as they are medium frequency currents.
Read moreWhen do you use interferential machine?
Interferential is commonly used for pain relief, to promote tissue healing, relieve muscle spasm and stimulate deeply situated muscles such as the pelvic floor muscles. Interferential therapy is used for the following symptoms: Acute and chronic pain e.g. lower back pain and sciatica .
Read moreIs IFT low frequency current?
[1] In this review we would mainly focus on Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and interferential therapy (IFT) which use low- and medium-frequency currents , respectively for pain relief.
Read moreIs interferential current alternating current?
Interferential current therapy (IFC) is based on summation of 2 alternating current signals of slightly different frequency . The resultant current consists of a cyclical modulation of amplitude, based on the difference in frequency between the 2 signals.
Read moreWhat is the principle of IFT?
The basic principle of Interferential Therapy (IFT) is to utilise the significant physiological effects of low frequency (≅<250pps) electrical stimulation of nerves without the associated painful and somewhat unpleasant side effects sometimes associated with low frequency stimulation .
