CellStimTM 600 Therapy Energy Device
Indications & Contraindications
INDICATIONS
chronic and acute pain
inflammation - edema
synovitis
musculoskeletal dysfunctions
sports injuries - sprains, strains and contusions
arthritic conditions - osteoarthritis OA
sciatica
neuropathies
temporalmandibular joint dysfunction TMJ
fibromyalgia FMS
plantar fasciitis
tennis elbow
carpal tunnel syndrome CTS
fractures - bone reunion
wound healing - ischemic ulcers
CONTRAINDICATIONS
on pain syndromes where the etiology has not been established
pregnancy
demand type cardiac pacemakers
wound infections
through malignant or benign tumors
through the eyeball
through carotid sinus
osteomyelitis
over laryngeal musculature
over the thorax intersecting the heart
presence of topical substances containing metal ions
Wounds require thorough flushing of metal ions prior to electro stimulation.
ACTION
Inflamed tissue if left untreated can cause a number of painful chronic
and acute conditions. Injured tissue exhibits an increase in bio-electrical
impedance slowing down the healing process. Transport of nutrients to and
wastes from the cells becomes compromised causing inflammation. CellStim's
waveform penetrates through the impedance barrier enhancing the body's
own restorative properties resulting in an acceleration of the healing
process.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the main energy molecule essential for
cellular regeneration.
Ngok Cheng M.D. (1982) applied electric currents in the range of 100
to 500 uA and discovered increases of ATP, glycine incorporation and aminoisobutyric
acid uptake in the proteins of living tissue.
The increased ATP levels promote protein and collagen synthesis in human
fibroblasts, resulting in an increased rate of tissue regeneration of 150%-350%.
WARNINGS
Proper hydration is essential for optimal effect.
The CellStim includes re-useable carbon rubber electrode pads.
Allergic reactions are reported by less than 1% of patients. (self-adhesive
electrode pads supplied if specified)
Due to the sensitivity of the carotid sinuses to electrical interference
and the possibility of carotid sinus reflex, the patient should be warned
to adhere to prescribed protocols. Incorrect polarity application of positive
or negative monophasic current may result in exacerbation of symptoms of
nerve root origin.
The CellStim may suppress the sensation of pain which otherwise serves
as a protective mechanism.
Electronic monitoring equipment (such as ECG and ECG alarms) may not operate
properly when microcurrent stimulation is in use.
PRECAUTIONS
Patients should be instructed on the following:
Carry over effect of CellStim treatments and the regenerative advantages.
Importance of proper skin contact to electrode pads.
Patients that are dehydrated may experience nausea, light-headedness,
and headaches.
USE IN PREGNANCY
The safety of microcurrent use in pregnancy has not been established. The
benefits of using microcurrent when pregnancy is confirmed or suspected
must be weighed against possible hazards.
USE DURING LACTATION
No specific studies have been conducted on electro stimulation changes
to breast milk and their effect on the infant.
USE ON CHILDREN
The efficacy and safety of microcurrent on children under the age of 5
years has not been studied.
USE WITH OTHER DRUGS
No adverse reactions have been recorded to date when combined with drugs.
However, due to the importance of hydration with any form of electrotherapy,
patients that are receiving diuretics should be carefully monitored.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Dosages vary according to the specific protocols administered in microcurrent
therapy. Typical dosage consists of .5 to 2 hour applications 1 to 4 times
per day. To date there have been no reports of overdose.
