METHOD FOR TREATING DISEASES AND APPLYING LOCAL IMPULSE ELECTRIC STIMULATION Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves stimulating segmental reflexogenic zones and biologically active zones related to pathologic focus or organ in combination with direct action upon the pathologic focus projection. Electrodes are set in innervation zones and current impulses are sent to nerves available in the innervation zones. Impulse shape is maximum approximated to nerve fiber action potential shape in Ranvier interception zone by creating bipolar asymmetric impulse shape with short high amplitude cathode outburst followed by long-term low-amplitude anode phase. The total component of the so formed impulse is provided with the mentioned shape equal to zero. Impulse duration is varied depending on current frequency from 0 to 1.3 ms. EFFECT: wide range of functional applications. 14 dwg
