Microcurrent Therapy Shows Promise for Tendon Repair

Background and Purpose
In microcurrent therapy (MCT), low-intensity electric current is applied to promote tissue healing and relieve symptoms.

Two studies were conducted to ascertain whether varying (i) current intensity and (ii) waveform and treatment duration affect outcomes of MCT for chronic tennis elbow.
