METHOD FOR TREATING KIDNEY STONES Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves application of electric current towards projection of kidneys for 20-30 minutes. Frequency of electric current is within range of 10-130 Hz, current intensity 20- 120 mA, duration of pulses 0.2-0.4 ms. Simultaneously method involves combined magnetic-laser application for 5-10 min. Laser beam wavelength is within range of 0.88-0.90 mcm, laser beam density of 2.5-3.0 W/cm and pulse rate of 5-5000 Hz and magnetic induction intensity of 34-36 mT. Simultaneously rectangular bipolar pulses are applied to forehead and occiput for 20-30 min. Duration of pulses is 5-7 ms, rate 70-100 Hz, current intensity 3-5 mA. Each course consists of 12-15 sessions. EFFECT: vanishing of kidney stones. 2 cl, 3 ex
