Summary:After having described the method of application used for iontophoresis and the results of previous studies carried out by other authors in the hope of finding a definite use for its clinical application, the authors present their personal experience carried out with the use of various chemical substances applied to both the guinea pig and to man. The chemicals taken into consideration were those used in the treatment of otitis media: anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, and mucolytic products. Iontophoresis proved to be a simple and effective method for the treatment of certain middle ear diseases, and offered a more rapid recovery in comparison with subjects treated uniquely by traditional methods.
