Nomenclature in ElectroAcupuncture and others
Hello Friends,
I have some doubts in Nomeclature in E.A.
First:
- the active pole (the site that you feel the sensation) is the negative (-) called catode, normally the black one.
- the passive pole (that there is no sensation) is the positive (+) called anode, normally the red one.
Second:
- the direction of the electric current is the some of the energy flow.
- It goes from the (+), anode, passive to the (-),catore, active. To tonify you you that, and sedate the opposite.
Third:
- In the acute pain site you use the pole (-), chronic pole (+).
- Sedation point pole (+) and tonification point pole (-)
Fourth:
Low frequency ( < 40hz) acute pain and chronic High frequency (> 100hz). How you characterized acute and chronic ? Just by the time or it take account the exacerbation of the pain ?
