Electrotherapy, Faradization, 1900

The third stage of General Faradization. Nurse applying electrical current, faradic current, to patient via an electrical vibrator, or bipolar electrodes of Apostoli. Faradizing is used to stimulate or treat (muscles or nerves) with induced alternating electric current. Electrotherapy is the use of electrical energy as a medical treatment. In medicine, the term electrotherapy can apply to a variety of treatments, including the use of electrical devices such as deep brain stimulators for neurological disease. The term has also been applied specifically to the use of electric current to speed wound healing. The first medical treatments with electricity in London have been recorded as far back as 1767 at Middlesex Hospital in London using a special apparatus. The same was purchased for St. Bartholomew's Hospital only ten years later. The record of uses other than being therapeutic is not clear, however Guy's Hospital has a published list of cases from the earlier 1800s.
