There were also elevations in the levels of plasma serotonin, beta endorphin, GABA and DHEA together with diminished levels of cortisol and tryptophan. Concomitant with these changes were significant improvements in the symptoms of pain, insomnia, spasticity, depression, and headache .
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.
