Abstract
The electrotherapy through electromagnetism is a non-invasive technique and can be applied as co-adjuvant in the resolution process of surgical wounds, accelerating healing. Our aim was to study the influence of electromagnetic therapy on the resolution of surgical cutaneous wounds in rats subjected to treatment with nicotine. The application was carried out during 21 days, once a day, in a total of 21 sessions, with each session lasting 30 min. The results obtained from the assays suggest a significant benefit to the healing process of surgical wounds, accelerating the healing process. This could be an alternative therapy to similar alterations without adverse collateral effects, particularly in post-surgical patients with impairment to anti-inflammatory therapy.
