RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:
Differences in wound healing were observed between treatments when compared to the control group.
Microcurrent application alone or combined with H. perforatum gel or A. montana gel exerted significant
effects on wound healing in this experimental model in all of the study parameters (P<0.05) when
compared to the control group with positive effects seen regarding newly formed tissue, number of newly
formed blood vessels and percentage of mature collagen fibers. The morphometric data confirmed the
structural findings. In conclusion, application of H. perforatum or A. montana was effective on
experimental wound healing when compared to control, but significant differences in the parameters
studied were only observed when these treatments were combined with microcurrent application.

Abstract
In addition to the routine therapy, the patients with lateral epicondylitis included into experimental group
were subjected to a 12-week cell-stimulation therapy with low-intensity frequency-modulated electric
current. The control group received the same routine therapy and sham stimulation (the therapeutic
apparatus was not energized). The efficiency of this microcurrent therapy was estimated by comparing
medical indices before therapy and at the end of a 12-week therapeutic course using a 10-point pain
severity numeric rating scale (NRS) and Roles-Maudsley pain score. The study revealed high therapeutic
efficiency of cell-stimulation with low-intensity electric current resulting probably from up-regulation of
intracellular transmitters, interleukins, and prostaglandins playing the key role in the regulation of
inflammation.
