Market Overview

Electrical stimulators are the medical electronic equipment that a patient wears and is attached to the skin via electrodes externally. The numerous purposes of an electrical stimulator, include reducing acute post-operative pain and swelling, treating chronic intractable pain, maintaining muscle tone during reduced spasticity, temporary immobilization, and helping injured spinal cord patients to stand, walk, and grasp independently by stimulating the nerves. It works by sending electrical currents into muscles through the skin to reduce pain, stimulate tissue healing, and strengthen muscles. The electrical current passing into the muscle produces stimulation of the muscle which is a form of physical therapy used to heal the injury. Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), Russian electrical stimulation, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), Functional electrical stimulation (FES), and Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) are some of the types of electrical stimulation. Electrical stimulation helps to strengthen muscles, block pain signals, and improve blood circulation in the body resulting in reduction of inflammation, improvement of muscles/building muscular strength that are weak or not functioning correctly, decreased pain or spasms, and enhances healing of chronic wounds. Digital health technologies such as smart apps, wearables, and remote monitoring systems aid in improving the functionality and accessibility of electrical stimulation devices. An electrical stimulator is emerging as a viable and evolving therapeutic option, meeting the demand for innovative solutions in the healthcare landscape.
