If I see in the past few decades about the history of electrotherapy modalities, they were very popular while making a managment plan of the patient with any musculoskeletal disorders. And researchers were very enthusiastic to justify their use in physiotherapy. But now a days with the advent of evidence based practice and studies, it has been claimed as in many studies that electrotherapy is not effective in good sense and so many studies do not support their use today. This difference in research is really need to be questioned.

My view is if today authorities during the research find these ways of treatment of electrotherapy ineffective, there should be a major change withing the syllabus of physiotherapy internationally so that less reliance is made upon electrotherapy modalities and a lot of time of patient and therapist is saved and of course cost effectiveness is enhanced. What do you think about it? Should these ideas of revision be made within the syllabus?
