Neuralgia / neuritis
Definition:
Nerve pain, nerve inflammation. While neuritis is characterized by clear
symptoms of dysfunction, neuralgia refers to conditions where pain is primary,
normally during the night.
Goal of
treatment:
Pain relief, acceleration of healing and regeneration without loss of function,
inflammation stop
Favorable
combinations:
Galvanisation, hydroelectric one, two, four-cell or full bath, iontophoresis, heat
therapy, ultrasonic therapy
Heat therapy – short-wave
Mode Pulsed
mode
Applicator
Plate electrodes / diplode
Location of treatment
Longitudinal stimulation in nerve end
Electrode-skin distance
Active: 2 cm – 4 cm
Passive: 2 cm – 4 cm
Duration of treatment
10 min – 15 min
Treatment dosage
Dosage: 2 – 3
Acute: Dosage 1
Treatment interval
Every other day
12 treatments
Short-wave treatment relieves tension in muscles and connective tissue. At dosage of 1, can also be applied
for 2 – 3 minutes in inflammatory condition. The use of coil (induction-field) electrodes rather than
capacitor (dielectric-field) electrodes is recommended.
