METHOD FOR REDUCING MUSCLE TONE IN THE CASES OF INFANTILE CEREBRAL PARALYSIS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves applying combined trans-spinal micro-polarization and pulsed stimulation. The trans-spinal micro-polarization is carried out using constant current of 100-300 mcA by applying skin electrodes of 20-35 cm large area. The trans-spinal micro-polarization is carried out during 30-40 min. Anode is placed lateral with respect to spinal process of the seventh vertebra C7 and cathode is placed contralaterally with respect to the anode in lumbosacral zone at the level of spinal processes of L5-S1. Magnetic pulsed stimulation is carried out with short pulses having two in every emitted package. Magnetic induction amplitude of the first pulse is equal to 1400 mTesla units and of the second one is less by 55%. The pulses are sent along the right and left side of the vertebral column in turn giving 3-4 packages per each spine segment. Stimulation is started beginning from cervical segment. The total treatment course is 6-7 procedures long with pauses being not longer than 2 days.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment.
