Medical uses
Electric shock is aswell acclimated as a medical therapy, beneath anxiously controlled conditions:
Electroconvulsive analysis or ECT is a psychiatric analysis for brainy illness. The cold of the analysis is to abet a access for ameliorative effect. There is no awareness of shock because the accommodating is anesthetized. The analysis was originally conceived of afterwards it was empiric that depressed patients who aswell suffered from attack accomplished some absolution afterwards a ad-lib seizure.citation needed The aboriginal attempts at advisedly inducing access as analysis acclimated not electricity but chemicals; about electricity provided bigger ascendancy for carrying the minimum bang needed. Ideally some added adjustment of inducing access would be used, as the electricity may be associated with some of the abrogating ancillary furnishings of ECT including amnesia. ECT is about administered three times a anniversary for about 8-12 treatments.
As a surgical apparatus for acid or coagulation. An "Electrosurgical Unit" (or ESU) uses top currents (e.g. 10 amperes) at top abundance (e.g. 500 kHz) with assorted schemes of amplitude accentuation to accomplish the adapted aftereffect - cut or coalesce - or both. These accessories are safe if acclimated correctly.
As a analysis for fibrillation or aberrant affection rhythms: see defibrillator and cardioversion.
As a adjustment of affliction relief: see Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (more frequently referred to as a TENS unit).
As an aloof abuse for conditioning of mentally bedridden patients with astringent behavioral problems. This adjustment is awful arguable and is active at alone one academy in the United States, the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center; The convention aswell uses electric shock punishments on non-handicapped accouchement with behavioral problems, and whether this constitutes accepted medical analysis or calumniating conduct is currently the accountable of litigation.citation needed
edit Law administration and claimed defence
Electroshock weapons are incapacitant weapons acclimated for abuse a being by administering electric shock to agitate apparent beef functions. One blazon is a conductive activity accessory (CED), an electroshock gun bargain accepted by the cast name "Taser", which fires projectiles that administrate the shock through a thin, adjustable wire. Although they are actionable for claimed use in abounding jurisdictions, Tasers accept been marketed to the accepted public.12 Added electroshock weapons such as amaze guns, amaze batons ("cattle prods"), and electroshock belts administrate an electric shock by absolute contact.
edit Torture
Electric shocks are acclimated as a adjustment of torture, back the accustomed voltage and accepted can be controlled with attention and acclimated to could could could cause affliction and abhorrence afterwards physically harming the victim's body.
Such ache uses electrodes absorbed to locations of the victim's body: a lot of typically, while affairs are anguish about the fingers, toes, and/or tongue; absorbed to the genitals; or amid in the vagina to accommodate a acknowledgment circuit; the voltage antecedent (typically some array of prod) of absolutely controllable burden is activated to added acute locations of the body, such as the genitals, vagina, breasts, or head. The Parrilla is an archetype of this technique. Added methods of electrical ache (such as the Picana) do not use a anchored wire but the crowd has two electrodes of altered polarity a abbreviate ambit afar so as to accomplish a ambit through the beef amid them if it is placed on the body, appropriately authoritative it simple for the abettor to ambition the shocks accurately in the places that could could could cause the victim a lot of affliction and distress, such as the genitals, vagina, breasts, or head. If the voltage and accepted is controlled (most typically, top voltage and low current) the victim feels the affliction of electric shock but is not physically harmed. Repeated shocks to the genitals or vagina will aftereffect in the victim accident ascendancy of his or her float and accidentally urinating, while all-encompassing access of the accepted through the buttocks will could could could cause the victim to accidentally defecate.
Electrical ache has been acclimated in war and by backbreaking regimes back the 1930s:13 The US Army is accepted to accept acclimated electrical ache during World War II;14 Amnesty International appear an official account that Russian aggressive armament in Chechnya bent bounded women with electric shocks by adhering affairs assimilate their breasts;15 Japanese consecutive analgesic Futoshi Matsunaga acclimated electric shocks for authoritative his victims.16
Advocates for the mentally ill and some psychiatrists such as Thomas Szasz accept asserted that electroconvulsive analysis (ECT) is ache if acclimated afterwards a bona fide medical account adjoin contrary or non-responsive patients—however such arguments do not administer to ECT if acclimated afterwards the accommodating has been anesthetized. See aloft for ECT as medical therapy. A agnate altercation and action administer to the use of aching shocks as abuse for behavior modification, a convenance that is aboveboard acclimated alone at the Judge Rotenberg Institute.171819

Electric armchair in Sing Sing
Electric shock delivered by an electric armchair is sometimes acclimated as an official agency of basic abuse in the United States, although its use has become attenuate in contempo times. Although some aboriginal proponents of the electric armchair advised it to be a added accommodating beheading adjustment than hanging, shooting, adulteration gassing, etc., it has now about been replaced by baleful injections in states that convenance basic punishment. Modern advertisement has claimed that it sometimes takes several shocks to be lethal, and that the accursed being may in fact bolt blaze afore the action is complete. The academician is consistently acutely damaged and inactivated.citation needed
Other than in locations of the United States, alone the Philippines reportedly has acclimated this adjustment (1926–76). It was intermittantly replaced by the battlefront squad, until the afterlife amends was abolished in that country. It is acknowledged in at atomic 10 states of USA.20
