ABSTRACT:
Methyl nicotinate, when swabbed onto the skin prior to the application of therapeutic ultrasound, produces a surprising enhancement of the effect of the ultrasound treatment, making it possible to use less power and to apply the ultrasound over a shorter interval, and requiring no significant waiting time for the nicotinic acid ester to take effect.
