Clinical Application of Electrotherapy - Centro de Ictus

What is electrotherapy?

Electrotherapy is a method of using an external current or electromagnetic field to intervene in the human body's internal biological electrical activity, thereby triggering the physiological response of the human body and realizing the therapeutic effect.

What clinical areas can be applied to electrotherapy?

1. Dolor Relief

Electrotherapy, especially Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) terapia, has been widely used to alleviate various types of dolor, including músculo dolor in chronic conditions and acute postoperative dolor.

 

2. Gastrointestinal disease

Electrotherapy has shown promising potential in postoperative gastrointestinal función recuperación and the tratamiento of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases.

3. Peripheral nerve lesión

Electrical stimulation aids in the repair of peripheral nerve injuries and the tratamiento of spasticity by influencing intracellular cAMP levels in neurons, promoting axonal growth and regeneration.

 

4. Tissue repair

Electrical stimulation promotes cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, accelerating skin herida healing.

5. Drug delivery

Electrical stimulation enhances drug administration efficiency across tissue barriers such as the skin, through electroporation and iontophoresis techniques.

 

Limitations of electrotherapy

Traditional electrotherapy devices have only a few output ports, and the electrode connections are mostly wired, making it inconvenient and inefficient for group terapia and difficult to move around in a hospital setting.

Development Trends of Electrotherapy
Based on the limitations of electrotherapy summarized earlier and the recent developments in clinical medicine, there are two promising development trends in electrical stimulation terapia:

• Group Rehabilitación

Treating multiple patients simultaneously in the same space and time, saving patients' time and improving the overall efficiency of rehabilitación in hospitals.

• Enhanced Recuperación After Surgery(ERAS)

The application of electrical stimulation in ERAS (Enhanced Recuperación After Surgery) has shown significant effects. It can reduce perioperative stress, decrease postoperative complications, and promote early postoperative recuperación. Studies have shown that electrical stimulation can promote bone regeneration and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, as well as facilitate tissue repair and functional recuperación.

 

Based on the future development trends of electrotherapy and existing limitations, the new Syrebo low and medium-frequency electrotherapy system specifically adopts a wireless design. The low-frequency main unit can be used across rooms and supports tratamiento for up to 40 patients, breaking the previous limitation of one-on-one tratamiento and enabling portability within the hospital. The Syrebo low and medium-frequency electrotherapy is equipped with over 30 low-frequency prescriptions and 10 medium-frequency prescriptions, including shoulder periarthritis, dolor relief, músculo fuerza training, sports lesión recuperación, etc. With its multifunctional capabilities, wireless portable design, and applicability across multiple departments, the Syrebo low and medium-frequency electrotherapy received widespread praise and recognition from numerous experts and therapists upon its release.
