To confirm the safety of home-use electrotherapy units, an ultrashort wave unit and a TENS unit were used on five healthy adults and their effects on living bodies were studied.1. The subjects were five healthy adults of ages ranging from 22 to 55.2. Home-use ultrashort wave unit (K-50A) and home-use TENS unit (Twin-pal M), both of which are products of ITO Company in Tokyo, Japan, were used in the study.3. Ultrashort wave unit were used on all five subjects, and TENS treatment was combined on two subjects. On three subjects, a pair of applicators were attached on the low back to irradiate the right and left suprarenal body region simultaneously for 30 minutes treatment (suprarenal body irradiation method). On two subjects, one applicator was attached to the abdomen and the other one, to the back to irradiate one kidney at a time (single kidney irradiation method). The irradiation time for the right and left kidney region was 15 minutes each. TENS treatment was applied to "Jinyu" and "San-inko" for 15 minutes each at a medium intensity.4. The study was conducted from July 21 to Octber 26.5. Blood and urinary analysis and kidney function test were performed once before the treatment and five times during the treatment. From a clinical viewpoint, no abnormality was found in the results of blood tests, urine tests, electrolyte tests, liver function tests, or kidney function tests.6. PAH clearance values increased above the normal range when the number of times and days of this therapy increased. Such tendency was particularly remarkable in two subjects to whom both ultrashort wave and TENS treatment were applied.7. We conclude that long-term use of home-use electrotherapeutic units has no side effects on human bodies, and it has rather a good effect on kidney function by increasing kidney blood flow.
