Abstract
The Asymmetric Radioelectric Converter - REAC (acronym of the term in English Radioelectric Asymmetric Conveyer) is a radiofrequency equipment whose interaction with the body allows the reorganization of cell polarity, through the rebalancing of endogenous bioelectric fields, functionally modulating adaptive responses. 1,2,3
The uniqueness of the REAC is not exactly the emission of radiofrequency waves, but the physical link created between the patient's body and the device whose contact it establishes. The therapeutic use of REAC technology is established through an electrical gradient that adjusts ionic fluxes and optimizes molecular mechanisms, regulating the asymmetry and polarity of cells. 1,4,5
REAC neuromodulation emits a radiofrequency field in the 5.8 GHz band applied through a handle acting at cortical levels, whereas biomodulation protocols are used locally based on a 2.4 Hz frequency, applied by cables multiprobes in a body area limited by a laminar probe.1,2 Thus, the difference between the protocols is the frequency used and not necessarily the applied area, such as the Cervicobrachial Neuropsychophysical Optimization (NPPO-CB), which is a neuromodulation protocol applied in a region limited by a laminar probe 3 (Figure 1).

Biomodulation consists of a set of protocols called Basic Tissue Optimization (TO-B), Reparative Tissue Optimization (TO-RPR), Regenerative Tissue Optimization (TO-RGN), Neuro-Regenerative Tissue Optimization (TO-RGN-N) and Optimization Chondral Regenerative Tissue (TO-RGN-C), these protocols are applied through a laminar probe, connected by multi-probe cables directly to the equipment, over a specific area of the body. 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
Studies have shown the effects of neuro and radioelectric biomodulation by REAC technology in reducing neuronal damage, with positive results for the nervous system, neurological and neurodegenerative diseases 10, as well as in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorders,12 effects of proliferation, migration and cell organization and healing, 9,11 expression of cardiogenic, myogenic, adipogenic, osteogenic, vasculogenic and neuronal genes,2,7,13 immune response modulation, 14,10 cell antisenescence 14,9 and induction of cell differentiation are among the results observed 15
The reprogramming and optimization of endogenous bioelectricity allows accessing epigenetic processes and therefore gene expression, in contrast to inflammatory, senescent and neurodegenerative patterns, thus establishing a range of perspectives and options for applicability in various health conditions for REAC technology, leaving move towards a greater contingent of clinical trials 16,4,17
