Abstract
Introduction. Hydrogalvanic baths is a method of combined application of warm fresh water and electric current. Mechanism of therapeutic action is based on synergistic effect of two therapeutic agents. The first mention about therapeutic use of hydrogalvanic baths dates back to 1802. Afterwards, both technique and technical equipment of the method were developed. Several studies have shown the efficacy of hydrogalvanic baths for the treatment patients with rheumatoid and gouty arthritis, fibromyalgia, ankylosing spondylitis and diabetic angiopathy. Nevertheless, an amount of scientific publications and also clinical researches is very scant. At the moment one of the most prospective applications is treatment of lumbosacral radiculopathy due to degenerative disc disease.
