Interesting! I hadn't heard the word, but the process itself was also lost for many decades. From 1880 to 1920, electrotherapy was an active and productive part of medical work. The electrotherapists developed precise techniques for killing cells at various depths. Around 1920 the field was declared to be quackery, as pharmaceuticals took over both psychiatry and medicine.
Electrotherapy was "newly" invented in the 1980s, without mentioning the giant shoulders it stood on.
