title: Pain relief with interferential therapy.
abstract: This paper considers some of the developments in knowledge and understanding of the phenomenon of pain. The 'pain-gate' theory and the descending pain suppression mechanisms are mentioned briefly. A number of mechanisms are suggested whereby interferential therapy may relieve pain. A brief description of the interferential stimulus and its potential for utilising the mechanisms described in earlier sections is given. Suggestions are made concerning the frequencies used for gaining this pain relieving effect.
