FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves holding root of the tongue and carrying out massage along the back of the tongue in the direction of tongue tip in performing circular movements. Then the massage movements are repeated in holding the tongue on lateral surfaces. Then the tongue is pressed against the hard palate so that its tip thrusts against the frontal teeth and massage is carried out on its inferior surface until the pain feeling vanishes. Then vibration massage of soft palate is carried out with a finger, point massage of alveolar arches with painful points being acted until the pain feeling vanishes and massage of facial skeleton and cervical muscles are also carried out. The tongue is set in position corresponding to articulated sound and the patient is suggested to pronounce the sound 2 to 5 times. The whole set of actions is carried out daily during 15 min to 1 h during 10 days. The treatment course is repeated 1 to 4 times each second or third month. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment.
