Home interferential therapy may help reduce pain, pain medication taken, and swelling while increasing range of motion in patients undergoing knee surgery. This could result in quicker return to activities of daily living and athletic activities. Jarit GJ, Mohr KJ, Waller R, Glousman RE. The effects of home interferential therapy on post-operative pain, edema, and range of motion of the knee. Clin J Sport Med. 2003 Jan;13(1):16-20.
A combination of electrical nerve stimulation, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapies is superior in treating chronic back pain over one modality alone or placebo treatment.

Arch Phys Med Rehabil 1997;78:55-60.
Interferential and horizontal therapy are significantly effective in alleviating both pain and disability in patients with chronic low back pain.
