Creeping in
In medicine, the term creeping or dosing is understood as the process in which the dose of a drug or the number of therapeutic measures is planned to be increased gradually over a longer period of time at the beginning of a therapy phase until a therapeutically optimal dose is finally reached.
The body should slowly get used to the new circumstances through the gradual increase. By slowly getting used to higher doses or more frequent applications, it is possible to observe how the patient reacts to this change and whether or how the state of health changes.
Sneaking in takes place on a medical order and ideally under regular medical supervision.
In the case of a treatment with galvanic current as part of physical electrotherapy ( galvano-fine current therapy ), creeping in is understood to mean the beginning with very low currents and the subsequent gradual increase. The aim is to increase the performance of motor nerves .
