Iontophoresis (C0022024)

Definition (SCTSPA) Administración intratisular de una sustancia iónica por medio de una corriente eléctrica
Definition (SNOMEDCT_US) An administration into the tissues of an ionic substance by means of an electric current
Definition (MSH) Therapeutic introduction of ions of soluble salts into tissues by means of electric current. In medical literature it is commonly used to indicate the process of increasing the penetration of drugs into surface tissues by the application of electric current. It has nothing to do with ION EXCHANGE; AIR IONIZATION nor PHONOPHORESIS, none of which requires current.
Definition (ALT) Applying a substance(s) or medication(s) using a galvanic, low-voltage current on the skin of a client's body part or region to cause transdermal substance(s) or medication(s) penetration and to treat pain, inflammation, spasm and/or calcium deposits. Service is billed in 20-minute increments.
