Interferential therapy (IFT) is a popular electrotherapeutic modality for pain management. It is characterized by the interference of 2 medium-frequency currents (ie, 1–10 kHz ), which combine to produce a new medium-frequency current whose amplitude is modulated at low frequency (ie, <1 kHz).

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.

Read moreWhat is medium frequency current in physiotherapy?
Medium frequency currents are the currents whose frequency falls between the range of 1000 to 10,000 Hz . They are being used therapeutically due to their advantage of greater penetration and with a higher tolerance and comfort over the low frequency current.
Read moreWhat is medium frequency electrotherapy?
Interferential therapy involves the use of “medium frequency” current to bring about the effect of a low-frequency (LF) current in the tissues . This is achieved by applying two “medium frequency” currents to the tissues, to generate LF interference current.
