[The analgesic effect of interference currents in radicular pains].
The authors tried out the analgetic effectiveness of interference currents generated by an Interdyn--ID 79 unit of Polish production in the treatment of radicular pains caused by disc prolapse. The analgesic effect, its degree and duration were assessed. In 72% of cases a good analgesic effect was obtained lasting at least one month, and in 35% of cases complete remission of pain was was achieved. It is stressed that the obtained effects were similar to those obtained by other methods of nervous system electrostimulation, such as: percutaneous electrostimulation, electroacupuncture, spinal cord electrostimulation, or diadynamic currents.
