Electrical modalities use different forms of energy to penetrate tissues and provide relief from pain, swelling, and promote healing. Common modalities include TENS, which uses electrical stimulation to modulate pain, NMES which causes muscle contraction, and iontophoresis which delivers medication transdermally using low-level electrical currents. Occupational therapists are trained to appropriately apply modalities like these to address goals like pain management, increased range of motion, and wound or fracture healing as part of a client's occupational therapy program. Precautions and contraindications must be considered for safe application of each modality.
This document provides an introduction to local anesthesia. It discusses that dentists, not doctors, were responsible for discovering anesthesia due to their motivation to alleviate pain from dental procedures. The first two people to introduce anesthesia were dentists - Horace Wells with nitrous oxide in 1844 and William Morton with ether. Local anesthesia works by preventing the generation and conduction of nerve impulses, setting up a chemical roadblock between the source of pain and the brain. The document then discusses the mechanism of action, factors affecting local anesthetics, and uses and contraindications of local anesthesia.
Electrotherapy, ozone therapy, and ultrasonic therapy are physiotherapy techniques discussed in the document. Electrotherapy uses electrical energy to treat conditions like pain, muscle issues, and wound healing. It includes TENS, interferential current, and galvanic stimulation. Ozone therapy uses ozone gas which has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and germicidal properties. Ultrasonic therapy uses sound waves to generate heat deep in tissues to treat pain, spasms and contractures. A case report shows ozone therapy effectively treated a patient's lumbar disc hernia symptoms after other treatments failed.

There are two types of nerve fibers that transmit signals from the body to the brain. Large nerve fibers called nociceptive fibers do not transmit pain signals, while small nerve fibers do transmit pain signals. A TENS unit works by using electrical currents to stimulate the large nerve fibers, which prevents the small pain fibers from reaching the brain. This stimulation of large fibers closes the "gate" in the spinal cord to pain signals from the small fibers, providing pain relief. This mechanism is known as the "gate control theory of pain."

information
1.1 General
CareTecrM lV Electrical Stimulator is a portable electrotherapy
device featuring four therapeutic modes: Transcutaneous
Electrical Nerve Stimulator, Electrical Muscle Stimulation
lnterferential, and Russian,which are used for pain relief
and electrical muscle stimulation. The stimulator sends gentle
electrical current to underlying nerves and muscle group via
electrodes applied on the skin. The parameters of device are
controlled by the channel buttons. lts intensity level is adjustable
according to the needs of patients.
1.2 Medical background
EXPLANATION OF TENS
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a
non-invasive, drugfree method of controlling pain. TENS uses
electrical impulses sent through the skin to nerves to modify your
pain perception. TENS does not cure any physiological problem;
it only helps control the pain. TENS does not work for everyone;
however, in most patients it is efiective in reducing or eliminating
the pain, allowing for a retum to normal activity'

and proven way of beating muscular injuries. lt works by sending

EXPLANATION OF IF
Interferential Stimulation (lF) is an anti-inflammatory based
treatment modality. Interferential stimulation is characterized by
two alternating-current sine waves or square waves of differing
frequencies that "work" together to produce an interferential
current that is also known as a beat pulse or alternating modulation
frequency. One of the two currents is usually held at 4,000 Hz, and
the other can be held constant or varied over a range of 4,001 to
4,100 Hz. Because of the frequency, the interferential wave meets
low impedance when crossing the skin to enter deep into soft
tissues. The interferential currents reportedly can stimulate
sensory motor, and pain fibers. These large impulse fibers
interfere with the transmission of pain messages at the spinal cord
level. This deep tissue penetration stimulates parasympathetic
nerve fibers for increased blood flow and edema reduction.
It utilizes the low electric-current to stimulate muscle nerves to
achieve the symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain,
posltraumatic pain, and posfsurgical pain.
EXP LAN ATIO'V OF RUSS'A'V
Russian stimulation uses medium frequencies to provide electrical
stimulation to muscle groups and is used to reduce muscle spasms
as well as for muscle strengthening. Russian stimulation is a specific
form of electro-stimulation with a Symmetrical Biphasic Square
waveform produced by dividing a 2500H2 canier frequency into
20 - 80Hz packets. This method was claimed by its author (Kots)
to produce maximal muscle strengthening effects without significant
discomfort to the oatient.
3. 1.3 lndication for use
CareTecrM lV electrical stimulator may be used for the following
conditions:
1) Symptomatic relief of chronic intractable pain; Post traumatic
pain; post surgical pain.
2) Relaxation of muscle spasm.

4.4.3 Electrode placement
4.4.1 Electrode oPtions
The placement of electrodes can be one of the most important
parameters in achieving success with therapy. Of utmost
importance is the willingness of the physician to try the various
styles of electrode placement to find which method best fits the
needs of the individual Patient.
The electrodes are disposable and should be routinely replaced
when they start to lose their adhesive nature. lf you are unsure of
your electrode adhesive properties, order replacement electrodes'
Reolacement electrodes should be re-ordered through or on the
advice of your physician to ensure proper quality. Follow
application procedures outlined in electrode packing, to maintain
optimal stimulation and to prevent skin irritation'
Every patient responds to electrical stimulation differently and
their needs may vary from the conventional settings suggested
here. lf the initial results are not positive, speak to your physician
about alternative stimulation settings and/or electrode placements.
Once an acceptable placement has been achieved, mark down the
electrodes sites and the settings, so the patient can easily continue
treatment at home.
4.4.2 Place electrodes on skin
Apply electrodes to the exact site indicated by your physician or
therapist, before applying electrodes, be sure the skin surface over
which electrodes are placed is thoroughly cleaned and dried'
Make sure the electrodes are placed firmly to the skin and make
good contact between the skin and the electrodes. Place the
electrodes over the skin; attach them properly, firmly, and evenly'
electrodes are not positioned on thebody.
Never remove the self-adhesive electrodes from the skin
while the device is still turns on.

6.3 electrodes
1) Use the device only with the leads and electrodes provided by
6.1 Tips for skin care
To avoid skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin, follow
these suggestions:
the manufacturer. Use only the electrode placements and
stimulation settings prescribed by your physician or therapist.
2) lt is recommended that, at minimum, 4cm*4cm self-adhering
based, square electrodes are used at the treatment area'
3)
.
using mild soap and water before applying electrodes, and after
taking them off. Be sure to rinse soap off thoroughly and dry
skin well.
2) Excess hair may be clipped with scissors; do not shave
stimulation area.
3) Wipe the area with the skin preparation your clinician has
recommended. Let this dry. Apply electrodes as directed.
4) Many skin problems arise from the "pulling stress" from
adhesive patches that are excessively stretched across the
skin during application. To prevent this, apply electrodes from
centre outward; avoid stretching over the skin.
5) To minimize "pulling stress", tape extra lengths of lead wires to
the skin in a loop to prevent tugging on electrodes.
6) When removing electrodes, always remove by pulling in the
direction of hair growth.
7) lt may be helpful to rub skin lotion on electrode placement area
when not wearing electrodes.
8) Never apply electrodes over irritated or broken skin.
6.2 Cleaning the device
1) Remove the battery from the device every time when you clean
2)
3)
Clean the device after use with a soft, slight moistened cloth.
In case of more extreme soiling you can also moisten the cloth
with mild soapy water.
Do not use any chemical cleaners or abrasive agents for
cleaning.
Inspect your electrodes before every use. Replace electrodes
as needed. Reusable electrodes may cause slight skin irritation'
1) Wash the area of skin where you will be placing the electrodes,
lose adhesion and deliver less stimulation if overused.
Adhesive Pad
Connector for
inserting Lead
wire Pin
Reusable, Self-adhering electrodes
Io use fhese electrodes:
1) Attach the electrode to the lead wire.
2)
3)
Remove the protective backing from the electrode surface.
Do not throw away the protective backing because it is reused
after the treatment session has been completed.
Place the tacky surface to the prescribed skin area by pressing
the electrode firmly against the skin.
To remove your electrodes:
1) Lift the corner of the electrode and gently remove
it from the
skin.
2) Apply the protective backing to the tacky side of the electrode.
Place the electrode on the side of the protective backing that is
labeled with the word on.
3) lt may be helpful to improve repeated application by spreading
a few droos of cold water over the adhesive and turn the surface
up to air dry. Over Saturation with water will reduce the adhesive
properties.
17. 4)
Between uses, store the electrodes in the resealable bag in a
cool dry place.
Caution:
.
e
Do not pull on the electrode wire. Doing so may damage
the wire and electrode.
Do not apply to broken skin.
The electrodes shouldbe discarded when they are no
longer adhering.
The electrodes are intended for single patient use only.
lf irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your
o clinician.
