Effectiveness Of The Application Of Percutaneous Electrolysis On Muscular Scar Tissue.

A sterile, disposable stainless steel needle of different lengths depending on the area to be treated will be connected to the EP device; the gauge of these needles will be 0.25 mm. A current of 3 mA will be applied for 3 times with a duration of 3 seconds each. In order to avoid biases, the technique will be performed for 90 seconds as in the low intensity treatment group and in the last 20 seconds the current will be applied with the parameters previously described. Three sessions divided in three consecutive weeks will be applied.

This technique will be performed with the same instrument as the high intensity technique. It differs from the previous treatment group in that the current intensity in this case will be of an amperage of 0.3mA during 90 seconds. In the same way, 3 sessions divided in 21 consecutive days will be applied.

The needle and PD device will be connected in the same way as for the other treatment groups. The needle will be inserted without reaching the lesion area and the characteristic sound of turning on the PD machine will be made. It will last 90 seconds and at no time the galvanic current will be applied. The same aseptic precautions will be applied, in addition to performing the same final hemostasis guidelines and providing the same post-treatment guidelines as for all the other subjects in the study.
