Träbert currents
From WikiLectures
Träbert currents are a type of low-frequency current with an analgesic effect (pain relief). These are low-frequency pulse currents with a frequency of 142 Hz, a pulse width of 2 ms, and a gap (pause) between individual groups of pulses of 5 ms. We can also encounter so-called modified Träbert currents, which differ in frequency – 182 Hz, pulse width – 0.5 ms, and pause – 5 ms. Modified Träbert currents have a spasmolytic effect. The effect of these currents can appear immediately after application.
Depending on the problem, we distinguish the application:
- localization EL1 – electrode on the head and further in the region of C5–7 (headaches, neck);
- localization of EL2 EL1 – electrode at the level of C5–Th1 and Th3–5 (pain and blood circulation disorders in the HK region);
- localization of EL4 – L1–3 and sacrum (pain and DKK blood supply disorders).
They are used for chronic inflammation of the joints, degenerative joint diseases, and other diseases of the musculoskeletal system, of nervous or muscular origin.
