What Is Electrotherapy?

Electrotherapy The treatment of diseases using different types of current and electromagnetic fields. One of the most commonly used methods of physical therapy. There are direct current electrotherapy, direct current drug iontophoresis, low frequency pulse electrotherapy, medium frequency pulse electrotherapy, high frequency electrotherapy, and electrostatic therapy.

Electrotherapy, like other treatments, has specific side effects and complications. Common complications of modern modified electrical shock therapy are headache, nausea, vomiting, and reversible memory loss. The rate of memory loss is higher. Foreign studies have found that at least one-third of patients report a significant memory decline after receiving electrotherapy. However, it is generally believed that the impact of electrical shock treatment on memory is limited and usually only temporary. Clinically, these symptoms usually improve on their own without treatment after treatment.

In addition to the above-mentioned side effects, modern electrotherapy has many disadvantages. First of all, the implementation of electroshock therapy is more complicated and dangerous, requiring general anesthesia and oxygen inhalation, which is difficult for primary hospitals to carry out. Secondly, due to the high requirements of electrical shock treatment technology and equipment, the cost of treatment is also high. Furthermore, electrical shock treatment, like drug treatment, cannot be done once and for all. Maintenance treatment is needed, otherwise many patients will relapse. Therefore, it is generally recommended to use medication or non-recurring electrotherapy as follow-up maintenance treatment within 6 months after electrotherapy.

Methods to prevent the side effects of electrotherapy: Before sleep, ensure the quality of sleep, adequate nutrition and absorption of water. Electrotherapy will play an electrochemical role on the human body. Ionization is physical. Microcurrent electrotherapy for more than 1 hour will play a role in the collapse of electrotherapy and eliminate the side effects of electrotherapy. The key is to take a short rest during long-term electrotherapy. After 30 minutes of electrotherapy, take a short rest and replenish moisture. Within 2 hours, you should add sufficient nutrition to complete the electrotherapy. In this way, the illness will be eliminated, people will not collapse, and memory will not be affected.
