Abstract
Effective postoperative analgesia is a prerequisite to enhance the recovery process and reduce morbidity.
The use of local anesthetic techniques is well documented to be effective, but single-dose techniques
(infiltration, peripheral blocks, neuraxial blocks) have been of limited value in major operations because of
their short duration of analgesia. Recent advances in technology have led to the development of a
noninvasive device, targetedMicroCurrent Therapy, which enhances postsurgical recovery by stimulating
the body's natural healing process. This therapy transmits gentle, short bursts of electrical current
targeted to the tissue cells at the surgical site. This article reviews recent clinical experience and evidence
of this device in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Abstract
In addition to the routine therapy, the patients with lateral epicondylitis included into experimental group
were subjected to a 12-week cell-stimulationtherapy 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.
