Table 2.

The advantages and disadvantages of three methods of providing ES

Methods Advantages Disadvantages
Direct coupling [59] Easy operation Insufficient biocompatibility of the electrode, contact with the medium lead to temperature rise, pH changes, and the generation of harmful byproducts
Capacitive coupling [64] More biologically safe High voltage between the electrodes, longer treatment time
Inductive coupling [62] Mimic the natural potential transfer in the human body, does not directly touch cells Tumorigenesis in unexpected area, taking time and resource consumption
