Abstract
This review discusses the basic concepts, effects and applications of hyperthermia and mild electrical stimulation (MES) using low-intensity direct current. It also proposes a novel combinatorial use of MES and hyperthermia, and briefly outlines the rationale and the effects of MES and hyperthermia combination treatment on certain diseases (diabetes, hepatic ischaemia/reperfusion injury and gastric ulcer). The integrated modalities of MES and hyperthermia might find therapeutic applications to stress-induced diseases and intractable diseases of dysregulated signalling pathways.Entities:
