What is considered safe voltage for use in electrical stimulation therapies?

The safe voltage for use in electrical stimulation therapies is typically under 100 volts. This level is considered safe because it minimizes the risk of causing harm to the patient while still being effective for therapeutic purposes. In the context of electrical stimulation, therapies often involve using lower voltages to stimulate nerve or muscle tissues without the need for high voltage, which could lead to pain or tissue damage.

Using voltages above this range, such as 100 to 200 volts or over 200 volts, increases the risk of adverse effects, including burns, discomfort, or even more serious injuries, rendering those ranges unsuitable for safe therapeutic applications. Therefore, sticking to values under 100 volts strikes a balance between efficacy and safety in electrical stimulation therapies.
