METHOD FOR RECOVERING SENSOR-MOTOR FUNCTION OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND PERIPHERAL NERVES Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61N1/30 A61N1/36 A61N7/00 A61K31/7052 A61P25/02 A61M31/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to neurology, neurosurgery and rehabilitation, and may be used to recover the sensor-motor function of the central nervous system and peripheral nerves. The therapy is three-staged. At the first stage, at least two hollow electrodes made of biologically neutral conductive material in a proximal and distal direction from a nerve injury are implanted into the nerve. The second stage involves at least one course of a focused extracorporeal shock-wave therapy consisting in at least five sessions in a combination with intraneural electric stimulation and intraneural ionic medication aiming at stimulating the growth of peripheral nerve fibre axons and the regeneration of Schwann cells forming the medullary sheath. At the third stage, the implanted electrodes are removed, and at least one session of transcutaneous electric stimulation with one-step electric myoneurography is conducted to coordinate neural pulses passage through the newly formed peripheral nerve synapses.

EFFECT: method provides the high therapeutic effectiveness in case of injuring up to 90% of neural synapses, reduced length of rehabilitation up to the complete recovery in the patient with no contra-indications and a possibility of the outpatient care.
