“Several H-Wave® pre-clinical studies, recently summarized by Williamson et al.*, highlighted the mechanism of action of H-Wave device stimulation (HWDS). The low frequency (2 Hz) component of HWDS leads to several cumulative physiological effects: • Stimulation of voluntary contraction of smaller, slow twitch skeletal muscle red fibers, resulting in non-fatiguing low-tension contractions • Increased blood flow via vasodilation mediated by nitric oxide and stimulation of skeletal muscle fibers, and angiogenesis/neovascularization • Increased rhythmic lymphatic vessel drainage mediated by stimulation of voluntary contraction of smooth muscle fibers of lymphatic vessels resulting in fluid and protein waste removal from areas of inflammation, restoring tissue homeostasis In contrast, the high frequency (60 Hz) component of HWDS leads to significant analgesia, through cumulative, repressive effects on nerve action potentials via sodium channel pump deactivation, resulting in longer-lasting pain relief.*” - from the publication, Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation vs. H-Wave device stimulation – similar or different? *H-Wave Device Stimulation: A Critical Review https://lnkd.in/diw4EH-z **Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation vs. H-Wave device stimulation – similar or different? https://lnkd.in/gH3ir9Ji
