The Use of Electrotherapeutics in Ophthalmology

2 years ago

Did you know that during our webinars we present SCENAR information in ways people can easily understand. All the PowerPoint/Slideshow presentations are readable and topic relevant. We use clear, simple and concise statements in English that help our audience successfully translate (if needed) the presentation into any foreign language.
We pay close attention to plain language and design of our materials to enhance ease of use for all readers (not the live webinar participants) and word-for-word translations from English into any desired language.
All the techniques discussed during the webinars are shown according to the algorithms of application.

New methods that have obvious scientific background.
Bio-Controlled electrical stimulation SCENAR® devices are FDA cleared Class II medical devices 2010 (510 K), RITMSCENAR has been cleared by the FDA (Canada and Mexico Health) Israel, S Korea, CE Europe for use in treating Chronic & Acute Pain. The Special Design Bureau “RITM” has become one of the few companies in the world that has passed a high-level verification for compliance with the EU Medical Device Regulation MDR 2017/745 requirements.

Introduction

There has been a fascination with the use of electricity in medical practices for centuries. From the use of electric fishes for treating headaches and gout to the employment of artificial electrical devices for the treatment of muscle spasms and tremors, electrotherapeutics has continued to play a role in modern medicine. The earliest uses of electricity in ophthalmology date to the 18^th century with a proliferation of electrical applications in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries. Edward Jackson chronicled the use of galvanic and faradic currents commonly used to treat ocular diseases in the early 20^th century. He argued the efficacy of using electrotherapeutics to treat ophthalmic diseases including, among others, the use of electrolysis and the electromagnet, both of which are still employed in contemporary ophthalmology. Nonetheless, while electrotherapy was at the forefront of medicine in the early 20^th century, its use fell out of practice with the development of alternative techniques…
