Abstract: ObjectiveTo compare the effects of modulated medium frequency low frequency current hydroelectric bath therapy and electromagnetic therapy on heel pain.Methods168 heel pain patients were randomly divided into group A (treated with modulated medium frequency low frequency current hydroelectric bath therapy) and group B (treated with electromagnetic therapy) with 84 cases in each group. The effect of two groups were observed and compared.ResultsThe cure rate and effective rate of the group A were 71.43% and 97.62% respectively, those of the group B were 54.76% and 84.52% respectively, and the number of average cure times of the group A was significantly less than that of the group B (P<0.01).ConclusionThe modulated medium frequency low frequency current hydroelectric bath therapy brings new ideas on clinical application and is a good method for treatment of heel pain.
