Left hemiplegia resulting from ischemic stroke in the brainstem may be helped by the use of sensible electroconvulsive therapy (electrotherapy) for the recovery of the patient’s limb. Electrotherapy is one of the physical therapy methods, mainly including direct current therapy, low-frequency electrotherapy, medium-frequency electrotherapy, high-frequency electrotherapy, etc. It is mainly a method of treating diseases by utilizing different types of electric currents and electromagnetic fields. For patients with hemiplegia, the use of low-frequency electrotherapy can excite neuromuscular tissues, improve local blood circulation and promote the absorption of edema, analgesic effect, sedative effect; the use of intermediate-frequency electrotherapy can promote the local blood and lymphatic circulation, and have a therapeutic effect on the dysfunctions of skeletal muscle activity; the use of high-frequency electrotherapy can improve the local blood circulation, and improve the nutritional metabolism of local tissues. Appropriate electrotherapy can help the recovery of hemiplegic limb function. However, before doing electrotherapy, one must inform the doctor of the current state of health and history of the disease, and carry out the treatment under the operation of the medical personnel after exclusion of contraindications. Any physical discomfort should be promptly informed to the doctor to avoid unnecessary injury. If you need electrotherapy, please go to the regular hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor to choose the appropriate treatment program to avoid adverse consequences.
