Activation of reducing processes in biological tissues by exposure to pulse-modulated radio-frequency (RF) currents is studied. It is shown that the weak destructive effect of RF currents activates the process of proliferation of healthy cells. A prototype device for dosed exposure to pulse-modulated RF currents based on needle electrodes is described. The results of experimental animal studies and randomized clinical studies using a purpose-designed prototype device for dosed exposure to pulse-modulated RF currents are presented. The clinical efficacy of dosed RF stimulation for treatment of purulent, inflammatory, and purulent-inflammatory processes is shown to be high.
