ABSTRACT
The mechanisms of action and clinical applications of electric differential treatment (EDiT) and Endosan in the treatment of ovarian cysts and concomitant symptoms are reviewed. Possible mechanisms of action include an increased level of cyclic AMP, stimulation of endorphin release, anti-inflammatory action, and steroidogenesis resulting from normalization of intercellular communication. Favorable results in the clinical setting were achieved in the treatment of ovarian cysts. Treatment success was reflected in a significant reduction in overall cyst size as well as amelioration of various concomitant symptoms, including fever, chills, inflammation, and abdominal pain. EDiT and Endosan were shown to have potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. No adverse effects have been reported.

Dynamic interferential current ossification system (DICOS) is a new non-invasive method to accelerate bone growth and repair successfully applied in Europe. As all evaluation methods of clinical bone repair models are too subjective and statistically unreliable, we base our statement on well defined animal experiments with standardized artificial fractures on sheep. Histological, chemical, radiological and electron-microscopic evaluations showed that the higher the interferential current density, the higher: The mineralization of the new bone; The extracellular alkaline phosphatase and The earlier the weight bearing. The electrical field was cross-calculated with computer-aided programs. 4000 Hz alternating current, using the interferential principle; Pleasant current sensation Non-invasive transcutaneous application; Electrode application at any distance from the fracture, even outside the cast; The application is not contraindicated with metal implants being used; No chemical burning under the electrodes; Post-traumatic oedema resorption; Pain relief for patients in cases where analgetics are contraindicated; Acceleration of reinnervation and improvement of microcirculation.
