Learn about the latest advances in electrotherapy and all the new developments in this field, with this high-quality professional master’s degree that we put in your hands" 

In recent years, the number of research studies related to electrotherapy has grown, mainly those focused on invasive techniques. These include percutaneous analgesic techniques, in which needles are used as electrodes, as well as transcranial stimulation, either of an electrical nature or through the use of magnetic fields. Based on these latest applications, the field of action of electrotherapy is widening and can be applied to various types of population, ranging from subjects with chronic pain to neurological patients.  

The objective of the professional master’s degree in Electrotherapy in Rehabilitation Medicine is to present in an updated way the applications of electrotherapy in neuromusculoskeletal pathologies, always based on scientific evidence when selecting the most appropriate type of current in each case. To this end, the neurophysiological bases are always presented at the beginning of each module, so that learning is complete. Each module is supported by practical applications of each type of current, so that the integration of the knowledge of the pathology and its treatment is complete.

This knowledge ranges from muscle contraction mechanisms to somatosensory transmission mechanisms, which makes it essential to have a broad knowledge of both the pathophysiological mechanisms of the subject and the physicochemical basis of electrotherapy.
