The therapeutic application of electrical currents inside the body to treat muscular or neurological conditions.
From Greek 'endo-' (within) plus 'Faradism' (named after scientist Michael Faraday), describing electrical therapy applied internally rather than through external electrodes.
Endofaradism was a popular medical treatment in the 19th and early 20th centuries before doctors realized that much of its effectiveness was psychosomatic!
