Abstract
A Delphi study regarding whether a series of terms should be linked to the conceptual framework of electrotherapy. To do so, national experts who teach this subject in the Spanish Universities were contacted. Based on the results obtained, we have found terms in which there is almost complete consensus: TENS, Inteferential Current, Diadynamic Current, Träbert Current, Microcurrent, Ultrasound, Phonophoresis, Shockwave or Ultraviolet Therapy. On the other hand, consensus is lacking on whether the following terms belong within electrotherapy terminology: Iontophoresis, Shortwave and Microwave Diathermy, Magnetic Therapy, Laser or Infrared radiation. Thus, there are two situations that make it necessary for us to adequately clarify what is the conception framework of electrotherapy.
