Hi Steve, I know this may be a ridiculous question, but why do you want to have ion migration? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 I know this may be a ridiculous question, but why do you want to have ion migration? >>>Because there are many associated effects that can be used quite effectively. For example, in iontophorisis you can use this to drive medicines into the body, when treating nerves you can use it to either increase or decrease excitability or growth, when treating ligament or tendinous weakness you can use it to either increase or decrease local fibroblasts, you can mobilize blood from one pole to the other by ionic gradients, etc, etc Alon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
