• Abstract

    Procaine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic used in neural therapy with surprising results in different types of patients and treatments. neural therapy was developed mainly by the German brothers Huneke and has been practiced for over 100 years. In 1940, Ferdinand Huneke noticed the sudden disappearance of a pain in the shoulder of a patient after application on an osteomyelitis scar on the leg. This treatment is widespread in Germany, Austria, Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Spain, United States, Mexico, Switzerland and today it is also spreading in Brazil and several other countries. It has international recognition as a curative and effective method in many diseases. To better understand the characteristics of the main substance and solutions used in neural therapy, as well as the response speed of the organism after its application, experiments were carried out to establish the electrical behavior of its components. The objective of this work is to demonstrate and evaluate the pH and conductivity of different concentrations of procaine hydrochloride solutions.
