Galvanisms refer to the therapeutic use of electrical stimulation to treat various medical conditions. Synonyms for this term include electrotherapy, electro-stimulation, and electrical therapy. Other similar terms that are often used in the medical field include transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), and functional electrical stimulation (FES). These approaches involve the use of electrical currents to stimulate specific muscles or nerves, which can help to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall muscle function. While there are many different methods of applying electrical stimulation, galvanisms play an important role in the management of a wide range of musculoskeletal and neurological disorders.
