Lima, Jan 6 (efe-epa).- Radiofrequency is showing unexpected promise in the treatment of Covid-19 patients in Peru, helping with the recovery of people who have suffered collapsed lungs as a result of that potentially fatal respiratory disease.
Already used as a cancer therapy, the technique has demonstrated an ability to drain fluid, improve drug efficacy and boost the immune systems of coronavirus sufferers.
Fernando Valencia, a medical physicist at Lima’s National University of Engineering (UNI) and author of a study that showed the technique’s effectiveness in achieving significant and rapid improvement in patients experiencing pulmonary invasion as a result of SARS-CoV-2, discussed his findings in an interview with Efe.
