METHOD FOR TREATING THE CASES OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA WITH FOCUSED MAGNETIC STIMULATION OF VEGETATIVE NERVOUS SYSTEM STRUCTURES Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out periodical focused magnetic stimulation of four inferior thoracic sympathetic nodes on both sides with pulsating magnetic field with impulse magnetic induction amplitudes of 0.1-1.5 Tesla units, frequency of 1.0- 300.0 Hz, duration of 0.1-10.0 ms and action time of 15-60 min. Magnetic stimulation is performed in transcutaneous mode or by applying magnetic field inductor units implanted above the sympathetic nodes and operating in radio frequency bandwidth. The inductors are actuated by means of non-implantable control unit operating in radio frequency bandwidth. Optimal values of magnetic field and session duration are to be individually selected on the basis of maximum bronchus dilation and clinical effect. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment. 3 cl, 1 dwg, 2 tbl
