METHOD FOR TREATING PARESIS OF MIMIC MUSCLES WITH DAMAGED PERIPHERAL BRANCHES OF FACIAL NERVE Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves fixing one electrode of implanted induction coil on surface of nerve trunk and the other one, in subcutaneous fat tissue. . Induction amplitude on inductor surface is 0.1-0.25 T, duration of front and rear induction frontages, 1 and 50 ms, pulse repetition period, 0.3 s, voltage on output leads of implanted coil, 1-5 V, pulse duration, 0.5 ms. First, magnetic field with alternating pulse polarity is applied to segmental structures of brain at a magnetic field induction of 0.25 T, duration of front and rear pulse frontages, 1 and 50 ms, pulse repetition period, 1.5 s. Electromagnetic stimulation is administered for 5 min daily and magnetic field is applied for 10 min alternatively to each region. Course of treatment is 5-8 procedures. EFFECT: faster restoration of function of mimic muscles and prevention of development of contractures of mimic muscles. 3 tbl
