ELECTROPHYSICAL METHOD OF HEADACHE TREATMENT Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: method may be used for treatment of migraine, hypertension and atherosclerosis. Method consists in the following. Anode and cathode of different area are positioned in zones of cervical ganglia. They are exposed to electric current pulses, and activity of one of them may be interlocked. Exposure is performed with the aid of multichannel electrodes consisting of several partial current-carrying elements galvanically insulated from one another. These elements are changed over according to program. At the same time inherent electromagnetic radiation of decimeter-band wave length in symmetrical zones of brain is measured, matrix of correlation of coefficients of radiation P is calculated, and its value is compared with preset value of matrix of correlation coefficients of calibrator inherent radiation P₀, at P P₀,. Then program of changing over of multichannel electrode partial elements is changed, pulse amplitude, frequency and duration, number and duration of pauses and total action exposition are regulated till value of matrix of correlation coefficients P is over preset value P₀.. EFFECT: individualization of treatment process. 1 cl, 2 dwg, 4 tbl, 3 ex
