METHOD FOR TREATING AFFECTED PERIPHERAL NERVE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine, traumatology, neurosurgery, microsurgery, neurotraumatology.

SUBSTANCE: one should fulfill autoneuroplasty of nervous defect, implantation of wire electrodes epineurally for both ends of contact areas of nerve's affected part at arranging insulation-free electrodes with their opened active ends along the direction of affected nerve. Moreover, before implantation of wire electrodes one should divide their ends into fibers to obtain filamentous wires and embrace nerve trunk and autoneurotransplant along their circumference. Electrodes should be placed at distal and proximal ends of affected nerve being about 5-10 mm above and below neurorhaphy area to perform electrostimulation. The method enables to accelerate regeneration of nervous fiber and decrease lesions of nervous tissue.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of therapy.
