METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF CLINICAL EFFECTIVENESS FOR BRONCHIAL ASTHMA BY COMPUTER ELECTROACUPUNCTURE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B5/53 A61H39/00 A61N1/32 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: after two trial sessions of computer electroacupuncture, the predictive clinical effectiveness indicator (PCEI) is calculated by formula:

where R_Iref is an average value of electric resistance of all the pattern BAPs prior to the 1^st session of therapy; R_Ifin is an average value of electric resistance of all the pattern BAPs after the 1^st session of therapy; R_IIref is an average value of electric resistance of all the pattern BAPs prior to the 2^nd session of therapy; R_IIfin is an average value of electric resistance of all the pattern BAPs after the 2^nd session of therapy, and the positive PCEI not exceeding 1 ensures to estimate the predictive clinical effectiveness as high, while the PCEI being 1 and higher shows the average clinical effectiveness, and the low clinical effectiveness is provided by the negative PCEI.

EFFECT: method extends the range of the prognostic methods in treating bronchial asthma by electroacupuncture.
