Lately, we are the witnesses of a dynamic development of a new form of electrotherapy, the so-called distant electrotherapy. This method has been developed and patented in the Czech Republic. Distant electrotherapy is fully in intentions of perspective methods of pulsed electromagnetic (signal) therapies. The method is based on a complete exclusion of invasive or contact electrodes. By application of specific electromagnetic pulses, induced electric currents (Faraday currents) are created directly in depth tissues. These currents represent a specific therapeutic element. In this way, these methods considerably differ from the well-known therapeutic applications of magnetotherapy and they achieve extraordinal effects in decrease of pain, improving the functional performace and stimulation of growth, regenerative, and healing processes. The submitted work documents a considerable abatement of pain and other effects achieved during the treatment of many patients during the past of several years.
