Electric therapy for nervous system disorders: a practical guide from a landmark early 20th‑century work
This edition gathers practical methods and clinical notes on using electricity to diagnose and treat illnesses of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles—without drugs. It explains how different currents work, where to apply them, and what results doctors could expect in real patients.
Readers will find clear guidance on when to use galvanic, faradic, and sinusoidal currents, plus distinct approaches for conditions ranging from paralysis and neuralgia to reflexes and sensory disorders. The text also covers safety concerns, measurement, and the limits of electrotherapy in various brain and spinal conditions.
Ideal for readers seeking a historical, hands-on look at early electrotherapy and its clinical applications for nervous system care.
