METHOD FOR TREATING CHRONIC DISEASES ACCOMPANIED BY PAIN SYNDROME Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves revealing problems worrying the patient and causing psychoemotional stress, and then, they are solved one after another. Their conditional reflex fixation is caused by remembering positive emotions, images and thoughts related to situations in which biosocial requirements were satisfied. Then, the corresponding conditional reflex stimuli are used in modeling the state the patient desires to reach at emotional and cognitive level. Remembering emotions, images and thoughts causing uncomfortable emotional states are stimulated and analysis of methods earlier used for solving this problem in the past is carried out. Old methods of no effectiveness for solving the problem and problems similar to it are corrected by changing emotional cognitive behavioral response stereotypes in the memory by reconstructing conditional reflex links set between the traces of sensory and verbal signals invoking positive emotions and signals invoking negative emotions. After the patient having reproduced the modeled desirable state, the conditional reflex stimuli are supported to provide the state stability. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment. 2 tbl
