METHOD OF TREATING AMNESTIC SYNDROME Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61N1/20 A61K31/245 A61P25/00 A61K31/7036 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine and aims at treating amnestic syndrome. A local anaesthesia is applied by infiltration of the tissues surrounding the external auditory canal with 0.5% novocaine along an anteromedial surface of the mastoid process bypassing the eardrum directly into the ear. The therapeutic effect is implemented by administering 1 g of streptomycin dissolved in 1 ml of physiological saline, intratympanic from one or both sides once a day every 2-3 days, with the manipulations performed 2 to 5 times per a course during 10-20 days. The transcranial exposure is generated by direct electric current at the intensity of 200-600 mA in the mid-temporal area of the head for 20-40 minutes daily for 8-10 days, repeated 2-3 times every 1-2 months. The electric exposure is generated by applying lead electrodes with each electrode having an area of 400-600 mm.

EFFECT: method enables improving associative cortex activity and improving the clinical effectiveness.
