METHOD FOR TREATING IDIOPATHIC DRY PRURITUS ANI AT APPLYING "TAPETUM" BLOCKADES Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61K31/45 A61P23/00 A61M19/00 

FIELD: medicine, coloproctology.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with treating idiopathic dry pruritus ani, moreover, under out-patient conditions. One should apply netting-like picture onto affected part of skin in perianal area, lines should be applied at the distance of 1 cm against each other. Moreover, this picture should be applied either with brilliant green onto the skin of perianal area, or it is possible to apply a netting-like picture applied at transparent roentgen film. Then, one should inject subcutaneously 0.1 ml 70%-alcohol with insulin syringe for the whole length of its needle into every point of lines' intersection. This enables to provide stable interruption of dry pruritus ani, for 3-5 mo due to denervation of sacro-coccygeal nervous plexus and, also, prevent the development of post-surgical cutaneous necrosis due to minimal cutaneous traumatism.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of therapy.
