METHOD OF BODY EXPOSURE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61N1/20 A61F13/02 A61K31/167 A61K31/734 A61P43/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, more specifically to physiotherapy, otorhinolaryngology, audiology, rehabilitation medicine, and may be used for the physiotherapeutic body exposure in the diseases developed in cerebral and cervical human tissues and organs, such as perceptive hearing loss, siagonantritis, eustachitis, temporomandibular dysfunctional pain syndrome, odontogenous or rhinogenous trifacial neuralgia, Bell's palsy etc. For this purpose, a concha of auricle is exposed to electric current by introducing an electrode into an ear to contact a cavity and cup of concha tightly. Besides, the above are exposed to electric current through an electrode placed into a nasal passage. The electrodes are wrapped in a wet tissue made of a non-woven material with surface density 160-180 g/m² containing a polymer layer of sodium alginate containing a drug preparation or a mixture thereof. The exposure is generated by direct electric current with its intensity to be gradually increased from 1 to 5 mA. The procedures are sequential at first from one side, and then from the other side. The exposure time makes 10-15 minutes from each side. The therapeutic course is 8-12 daily procedures.

EFFECT: appropriate prescription of the drug preparations enables the method providing the evident analgesic and anti-inflammatory action, activation of the tissue immune processes, improved innervation within the exposure region, recovered locomotor function of the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles, higher contractive activity of the muscles of expression, reduced development of any negative responses and complications ensured by the combined action of direct electric current and prolonged action of the pharmacological preparations in the presented tissues.
