title: [Physiological aspects of pain in high voltage therapy application in physiotherapy].
abstract: Treatment of pain in the locomotor system is one important goal of physiotherapy. To suit this need electrotherapy provides different approaches. Electric impulses in the range of microseconds and a potential of up to 500 Volts are in use for several years. This article deals preferentially with neurophysiologic aspects on the effects of high-voltage-therapy. They may serve the physician as basis for a more conscious selection of indications.
