DIADYNAMIC CURRENT (Electrotherapy)

Diadynamic current is a low frequency current. It can be semi-wave and full-wave sinusoidal current, 50-100 Hz frequency. It is used in treating painful syndromes and extra-articular rheumatism. Some modulations can be combined for a stronger effect. Diadynamic current is led to the human body via cup-like or vacuum electrodes. There are several methods : transregional (at painful spots on the affected nerve), paravertebral or segmental, and vasotropic.Application lasts 4 - 6 minutes with reversing the poles halfway through. If there are multiple application spots, optimal period of application is 15-20 minutes.
