Iontophoresis Seminar Report With PPT

Description

INTRODUCTION

Iontophoresis is a non-invasive method to deliver medication through the skin to a specific area using a continuous direct current. Anti-inflammatory and anesthetic medications (dexamethasone and lidocaine) are the most common medications delivered using iontophoresis in physical therapy1.

Iontophoresis requires two electrodes, one positively and one negatively charged. Placement of the electrodes is dependent on the polarity of the medication being delivered. For example, dexamethasone has a negative polarity. Therefore, the electrode containing dexamethasone will be placed over the affected body part and attached to the negative charge in the electrical circuit. The negative current repels the negative dexamethasone ions, driving them through the patient’s skin.2,3 Conversely, lidocaine has a positive polarity so the electrode would be attached to the positive charge in the electrical circuit.
