Effectiveness of Percutaneous Electrolysis in Subacute and Early Chronic Tendinopathy (frontiersin.org)

• Percutaneous electrolysis is a minimally invasive technique using galvanic current.
• Improves pain and function in subacute/chronic tendinopathy.
• Moderate to large effect size; use as adjunctive treatment.

"Percutaneous electrolysis (PE) shows promise for subacute and early chronic tendinopathy, combining needling with galvanic current to promote tendon healing. Clinical studies report improved pain reduction and functional recovery compared to conservative care. Physiotherapists should consider PE as an adjunct when conventional exercises are insufficient."
