Microcurrent has been used or studied for many different therapeutic applications. Studies have been conducted which demonstrate the efficacy of microcurrent electrical stimulation for:
- Reduction in pain improvement scores with accompanying substantial reduction in serum levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-I, IL-6, and TNF-X, and neuropeptide substance P, Beta-endorphin release and increases in serum cortisol.
- Significant pain reduction and imcreased range of motion in chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, cervical pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and arthritis patients
- Reduction of pain in degenerative joint disease of the temporomandibular joint
- Lasting reduction in myofascial pain of the head, neck and face
- Reduction in pain and increased mobility in peritendinitis calcarea of the shoulder
- Reduction in post-operative pain and edema
- Reduction in healing time in soft tissue injury
- Reduction in treatment and rehabilitation time and reduction in worker down time
- Increasing range of motion in ankle dorsiflexion in CP
- Increase the rate of healing in jured athletes, control pain, increase the rate of fracture repair and treat myofascial pain and dysfunction
- Reduction in pain at power-grip and lifting a weight load with pronated forearm, improvement in grip-strength in chronic lateral epicondylitis patients
- Superiority to conventional physical therapy in number of treatments required to relieve pain, severity of side effects, total cost of treatment and patient satisfaction
- Reduce severity of muscle damage signs and symptoms
