Definition[edit | edit source]
High Voltage Pulsed Galvanic Current (or High Voltage Galvanic Stimulation) is a type of electrical current in which high voltage is applied with low frequency and low pulse duration. [1] It has been widely used in physiotherapy for its analgesic and muscle strengthening (for innervated muscle) effect. [2][3]
Clinical Usage[edit | edit source]
Evidence for the effect of High Voltage Pulsed Galvanic Current (HVPCG) for various diagnoses exists:
- Wound Healing:
- Spinal Cord Injury:
- Multiple Sclerosis:
- Myofascial Pain Syndrome:
- Levator Ani Syndrome:
- Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome:
There is also evidence regarding choosing the best parameter to apply HVPCG:
According to some studies that compared the HVPCG to other treatment methods,
