METHOD FOR TREATING THE CASES OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves applying electrostimulation of stellar nodes with alternating current of 10-100 Hz, 1-3 V, 0.1-0.3 ms by means of electrodes implanted under the nodes. The treatment is applied periodically during attack period or with preventive purposes, and in periodic automatic mode in time periods between attacks. Electrostimulation is set in action by applying radio frequency method in remote control mode. Stimulation current operation mode is tuned by means of corresponding control units in process of electrostimulation. Transmitting device is used for switching it in, corresponding to particular patient needs. Automatic mode of stimulation control is carried out by means of programmed timer unit for switching stimulation modes on, being a part of transmitting device. Time of day and stimulation duration are programmed in advance by taking into account periodicity and duration of attacks in particular person. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in preventing disease attacks. 15 tbl
