PROCEDURE

Upward Direct Current (Ascending Effect)

Application of direct current (Galvanic) in milliamperes current which varies according to the positioning of the electrodes. In the ascending stream direct current (Ascending effect) the proximal cathode and distal anode are placed, a excitatory effect on the nervous system being described in theory.

PROCEDURE

Downward Direct Current (Descending Effect)

Application of direct current (Galvanic) in milliamperes current which varies according to the positioning of the electrodes. In the descending stream direct current (Descending effect) the proximal anode and distal cathode are placed, a sedative and analgesic effect on the nervous system being described in theory.

PROCEDURE

Sham Direct Current

Installation of electrotherapy equipment off (Sham tratment).
