Experts are trying to increase the ability of the drug to permeate the skin, and also to decrease side effects.
And they are interested in improved drug delivery programming. A variety of technologies are being explored: nanotechnology, which is about working with small amounts of substances and currents, electroporation in which an electrical current is applied to cells to increase permeability of the cell, allowing medication or things like DNA to enter—sonophoresis for increasing medication absorption, device miniaturization, and the use of chemical enhancers.
When you have an iontophoresis treatment, the physical therapist will likely have you lie down on a treatment table. They will then place two electrodes close to the problem area where inflammation is present. One of the electrodes will contain the pain medication—whether dexamethasone, lidocane or something else.
The electrodes will be connected to the iontophoresis machine. The therapist will work the controls on the ionto to raise the amount of current to the point where barriers to drug delivery provided by both your skin and the electrodes are overcome. In this way, the delivery of the medication to your underlying tissue is enhanced. An iontophoresis patch is known for enabling a high concentration of medication to reach deeply—all the way to the muscles, with few, if any, side effects.
But it also helps distribute the dexamethasone, lidocane, etc to a larger surface area. Ionto treatment lasts between 10 and 15 minutes and may be given either before or after the exercise portion of your session. Ionto is not painful, but the study mentioned above found that it does not offer better outcomes than a course of physical therapy that does not include ionto.
