Transcutaneous electrotherapy for severe tinnitus.

In about a third of cases of severe tinnitus, transcutaneous stimulation for a few minutes by means of electric square waves gives substantial improvement. This very simple treatment must be repeated two or three times to achieve success. If an obvious improvement is not obtained after two or three attempts, failure must be considered as certain. The parameters of these stimulations are described and clinical results are reported. The mechanism of the improvement is uncertain.

Fifteen-cycle cranial electrotherapy stimulation for spasticity.

Severe post-anoxic spasticity in a 25-year-old female was significantly improved during an open trial of 15 cycle per second CES. The bipolar LISS device with suboccipital electrode placement was used for 40 minutes three times a day. A synergism appeared when dantrolene 50 mg twice a day was combined with the CES, these additive effects being greater than either modality used alone.

Electric sympathetic block: a review of electrotherapy physics.

Electric sympathetic block is the procedure whereby blockage of the sympathetic nerve fiber is achieved by applying controlled electrical pulses via electrodes placed on the skin. An electric block of the sympathetic fiber can occur with a direct monophasic current to achieve an anodal block, a middle-frequency or Endosan current to effect sustained depolarization, or an interferential current to achieve a fatiguing effect. The physics and theoretical framework underlying the currents used in this procedure will be reviewed.
