Diclofenac phonophoresis in human volunteers

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2005
A quantitative study of sodium diclofenac (Voltaren Emulgel, Novartis) phonophoresis was undertaken in humans. Fourteen healthy human volunteers were submitted to ultrasound irradiation on two 225-cm2 areas on the dorsum (group A), followed by the application of the medication gel, and the plasma diclofenac mass was measured at 1, 2 and 3 h later by ...

Phonophoresis: efficiency, mechanisms and skin tolerance

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2002
Phonophoresis or sonophoresis is the use of ultrasound to increase percutaneous absorption of a drug. The technique has been widely used in sports medicine since the sixties. Controlled studies in humans in vivo have demonstrated absence or mild effects of the technique with the parameters currently used (frequency 1-3 MHz, intensity 1-2 W/cm(2 ...

Transdermal Transport by Phonophoresis

2005
We present the main data published with low-, medium-, and high-frequency ultrasound over the last three decades, and we discuss the mechanisms involved in ultrasound-induced transdermal transport. Specific attention is paid to the biological effects of ultrasound on living skin, which might be significant for tolerance and practical use in human ...

Phonophoresis of azidothymidine (AZT)

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 1993
Abstract Phonophoresis of zidovudine (AZT, azidothymidine), was studied in vitro, across excised human skin and hairless mouse skin. Sonication was carried out with a continuous mode, at an intensity of 1.5 W cm 2 and a frequency of 1.1 MHz for 20 min.

Treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis using erythromycin phonophoresis

Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 2012
Bacterial biofilms have been implicated in many chronic infective diseases, including chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Therapeutic ultrasound enhances the breakdown of bacterial biofilms and is clinically effective in CRS treatment, while phonophoresis has also been utilized for antibiotic delivery through the skin. The objective of this case report is to

Transdermal Drug Delivery Using Iontophoresis and Phonophoresis

Orthopaedic Nursing, 1999
Introducing medicines into the human body by way of the skin is an ancient practice, and transdermal delivery has long been a standard for administering medications such as nitroglycerin and scopalamine. Phoresis, another method of transdermal drug delivery, is now being ordered for an increasing number of orthopaedic patients who suffer from ...

Heel pain and phonophoresis.

Journal of the Indian Medical Association, 2011
A review of 25 cases of heel pain treated conservatively with phonophoresis, using the anti-inflammatory gel containing a combination of flufenamic acid, salicylic acid and mucopolysaccharide polysulphate is being reported here. The purpose of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a noninvasive procedure called phonophoresis in treating hell ...
