Phonophoresis

Phonophoresis procedure

Phonophoresis is the use of ultrasound to enhance the delivery of topically applied drugs.[1][2] Phonophoresis has been used in an effort to enhance the absorption of topically applied analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents through the therapeutic application of ultrasound.

Phonophoresis has been shown to be ineffective for some treatments,[3] where it did not increase the efficacy of absorption of drugs, or did not improve the outcome more than the use of ultrasound alone.[4][5]
