METHOD OF INTEGRATED TREATMENT SENSORINEURAL DEAFNESS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61N1/32 A61N5/67 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves as follows. Neuroreceptor apparatus of coclea is exposed to electric current and IR-laser. In addition, posterior surface of neck, both sides of sternocleidomastoid muscles, trapezius muscles and epinephros projections are exposed to electric current 1-150 Hz at send pauses 2 seconds. Current strength within 0.1-100 mA range is adjusted for each pair of electrodes individually starting from sensations of easy vibration within acoustic meatus to slight muscle contraction within the other electrodes. Additionally, laser exposure is applied within posterior surface of neck, both sides of parotic and superolateral surfaces of neck, right and left hypochondria. Exposure intensity is 4.34-38 mJ/cm². Exposure for each field is 2 minutes. The therapeutic course is 16-20 procedures with each exposure type changed every second day.

EFFECT: higher clinical effectiveness ensured by complex exposure on reflexogenic zone of an organism, improved blood circulation, improved immunity and longer remission.
