Description

' CA 02326172 2000-09-26 1, Method of Processing of Human Brain Action Currents s Field of the Invention The invention relates to the field of medicine and, in particular, to the methods of processing of the human brain action currents for correction of physiological state of human organism using electrobiostimulation of the central nervous system and it can be to directly applied for medical treatment of people suffering from various disorders of the brain regulatory function as well as for preventive treatment of people, whose jobs require increased mental and physical activity of people subjected to extreme conditions e. g. pilots during the flight and air trafFlc operators when on duty.
15 Prior Art Known is the method of inducing a stimulated sleep consisting in influencing the patient's brain by reproduced natural brain action currents by means of electrodes located in certain parts of the patient's head, e. g. in the areas of forehead and napex, 2o said brain action currents pre- recorded from the same areas of the patient's head during deep medicamental sleep [SU-211752, 1968].
However the method described above failed to give any therapeutic or preventive i progress, except sleep normalization, when applied for treatment of neuroses, psyhosomatic illnesses (hypertention, neurocirculatory depression, gastric or duodenal 25 ulcer, bronchial asthma) neurodermatitis, diabetis, insipidus and a number of other illnesses as well in attempts to stimulate the reserve stimulate possibilities of human organism ( the increase of immunity, the use of stimulators, improvement of memory and the ability to percept new information and others).

to (3- to- a- rhythm frequency variation point and the following influence by the operation signal at this frequency during 30 - 90 minutes [SU-1233874, 1985].
(3- to- a- rhythm variation on the encephalogram is characteristic of the transfer of the brain cortical elements to a calm state which subjectively manifests itself in the relaxation or sleeping state and defines the frequency which is responsible for starting of bioeffect. However, a pronounced a- rhythm is characteristic of people with high level plasticity of neurodynamic processes. Besides, some people are lacking a-rhythm at all, this decreasing the efficiency of the method, when the electromagnetic radiation is controlled by a- rhythm of encephalogram.
1 () Also known in the art is the method of stimulating the mental and physical activity of a human being consisting in influencing the patient's brain by reproduced natural brain action currents by means of electrodes located in the areas of the patient's forehead and napex, said currents pre-recorded from the same areas of the patient's brain under effect of drug while the natural action currents provide amplification from 0,05 - 1,0 mA to 15 - 25 mA and carrier frequency modulation of 1600 - 1700 Hz and the stimulating means are used as drug [BY - 1493, 1997].
In the known method of inducing a stimulated sleep of human being consisting in 2o influencing the patient's brain by reproduced natural brain action currents by means of electrodes located in the areas of the patient's forehead and napex with said currents pre - recorded from the same areas of the patient's brain during deep medicamental sleep, natural brain action currents provide amplification from 0,05 - 1,0 mA
to 10 - 20 mA and career frequency modulation of 1600 - 1700 Hz from minimum to maximum and vice versa [BY-1492, 1997].

Known is a method of processing of the human brain action currents (US patent No.
3032029, US Cl. 128-1, 01.05.1962) comprising the steps of recording brain action currents as a continuous series of electric pulses, filtration of the latter, their analysis and reproduction.
However, these methods also possess certain disadvantages. Due to the fact that encephalograps comprise electronic amplifiers featuring sufficiently high amplification factors they themselves are a source of a considerable level of internal noise which has a negative effect on the application results of the above described methods.
But the main thing is the artefacts (pronounced nonfunctional deviations of encephalogram caused by the muscular strain of the patient, electric interferences and equipment is failures) which rather often accompany the recording of encephalogram and present irrelevant triggers for the central nervous system thus decreasing medicamenta.l and preventive effects.
Summary of the Invention 2o The object of the present invention is the increase of the patient's physiotherapeutic treatment efficiency by means of eliminating of all the noises and arfefacts in encephalogram.
25 The object set forth has been achieved by a method of processing of the human brain action currents comprising the steps of recording said brain action currents as a continuous series of electric pulses, filtration of the latter, their analysis and reproduction with the portions containing noises and artefacts being eliminated from said series of pulses and replacement of said eliminated portions by the ones not 3o containing any noises and artefacts as such with fizrther creation from these pulses of another continuous series of pulses for laying on the human brain.
AMENDED SHE.E
Amended sheet ' CA 02326172 2000-09-26 " ~ , " , , , The pre-recorded continuous series of pulses is used to select separate pulses or groups of pulses not containing any noises and/or artefacts with further creation from these pulses of another continuous series of pulses for laying on the human brain.
The above another series of pulses is created by means of multiple repetition of separate pulses or groups of pulses not containing any noises and/or artefacts.
The above-mentioned processing is conducted for the human brain action currents when a person is under the effect of a drug.
Detailed Description of the Invention The actual application of the method described above can be best illustrated by way of the following example.
In its general view the method is applied as follows.
to Brain action currents in the form of the series of electric pulses are recorded with the help of electrodes located in the areas of forehead and napex of the patient or a healthy human subjected, if it is necessary, to the medicamental treatment with the drug being chosen dependent on the diagnosis. The pre-recorded series of electric pulses (electroencephalogram) is subjected to the frequency analysis and filtration in the range 20 of 0,5 - 40 Hz as this range of frequencies contains the prevailing rhythms. Pulses and/or their parts containing noises and/or artefacts are eliminated from the pulse series and replaced by the ones not containing any as such. Besides, there is a possibility of i generating the series from one or more pulses not containing any noises and artefacts by means of their multiple repetition.
2 ~ To provide the required brain influence by the series of electric pulses which have been pre-recorded and processed in accordance with the method described herein the parts of the patient's head in the forehead and napex areas are overlaid by electrodes. All the operation activities are carned out in the range of 2 - 24 V.
Simultaneously with this influence the reticular formation is being triggered with 3o electric current in the range of 2 - 240 V, 2 - 70 mA and frequency of 0,5 -Hz by means of electrodes located in the eye - napex area under continuous and/or stepwise variation of the voltage and/or current power, and/or current frequency A,~E~D~D SHEEN
Amended sheet dependent on the diagnosis, the state and the response of the patient to the influence being provided. The duration of the influence during I treatment session also depends on the diagnosis, the state and the response of the patient to the influence being provided and usually makes up from 10 to 65 minutes. The number of treatment 5 sessions is usually defined dependent on the changes in the objective condition of the patient. The total number of treatment sessions can vary from 1 to 7.
Example 1. Female patient A., 27 years old, with the diagnosis neurastenia during treatment was being influenced by brain action currents pre-recorded from a healthy person in a calm state and from the same female patient during medicamental sleep or immediately after administering a tranguillizer (phenazepam). Electrodes for effecting brain action currents (20 - 30 mA) were overlaid according to extracerebral scheme and triggering of the reticular formation was performed by currents of 20 - 50 mA
having the frequency of 50 - I00 Hz with the electrodes being positioned at the eye -napex area. The operation of brain action currents and triggering of the reticular formation were perfomed simultaneously. Noises and artefacts were not cut out from the recording of brain action currents.
The influence length during the treatment session made up about 40 - 60 min.
In total 5 treatment sessions were conducted. As a result irritability has been descreased, 2o sleep normalized and the working ability restored.
F:. ~.mple 2. Female patient B., 36 years old with the diagnosis neurasthenia doting treatment was being influenced by brain action currents recorded from a healthy person in a calm state and from the same patient during medicamental sleep or immediately after administering a tranguillizer (phenazepam).
Electrodes for effecting brain action currents (20-30 mA) were overlaid according to extracerebral scheme and triggering of reticular formation was performed by currents of 20 - 50 mA having the frequency of 50 - 100 Hz with the electrodes being positioned at the eye - napex area. The operation of brain action currents and 3o triggering of the reticular formation were performed simultaneously. Noises and artefacts were eliminated from the recording and the recordings themselves were c.;:~rected. The influence length during one treatment session made up about min. In total 3 treatment sessions were conducted with the result being actually the same as in Example 1.
Example 3. Female patient C., 55 years old with the diagnosis hypertension of the 1-st grade during treatment was being influenced extracerebrally by brain action currents of 30-40 mA pre-recorded from a healthy person in a calm state with simultaneous triggering of the reticular formation by currents I5-35 mA having the frequency of 90-360 Hz by means of electrodes positioned at the eye - napex area. The influence length during one treatment session made up about 25-50 minutes. In total 7 treatment to sessions were conducted. As a result arteriotony has been normalized, sleep improved, irritability decreased, working ability improved.
Example 4. Male patient D., 32 years old with the diagnosis neurodermatitis during treatment was extracerebrally influenced by brain action currents (20-40 mA) pre-recorded from a healthy person in a calm state and by brain action currents of the same male patient recorded in 30-60 minutes after administering a medicamental dose of phenazepam Simultaneously triggering of the reticular formation was being performed by currents of 20-70 mA having the frequency of 250-550 Hz by means of electrodes located at the eye - napex area.
2o The session length made up 40-60 min. In total 5 treatment sessions were conducted.
After the second session itching has been reduced. After 5 sessions sleep has been normalized, nervous tension disappeared, itching ceased.
l: x:.mple 5. Male patient E., 44 years old. Diagnosis: neurasthenia (hypostenic form).
Complaints about increased fatigue under mental or physical activity. The patient's brain was being influenced by brain action currents pre-recorded from the same patient at the start of treatment in 40 minutes after administering a stimulating drug (Sydnocarbum). Simultaneously triggering of the reticular formation was being performed by currents of 20-60 mA with frequency of 1000-1700 Hz by means of 3o electrodes located at the eye - napex area.
On the second day the condition of the patient improved, fatigue under mental and physical activity decreased. After 6 treatment sessions the working ability has been fully restored.

Example 6. Male patient K, 36 years old. Diagnosis: neurasthenia (hyperstenic form) with sleep disorders. Complaints about increased irritability, superficial insufficiently refreshing sleep and inability to have a sleep in transport means during inter-flight rest (the patient is a pilot) in extreme conditions. The patient was administrated a single dose of sleeping drug (of a group of barbiturates). In 30-40 minutes his brain action currents were recorded. During treatment the same areas of the patient's brain were being influenced by pre-recorded brain action currents. Simultaneously triggering of the reticular formation was being performed by currents of 20-70 mA with frequency of 450-1100 Hz by means of electrodes positioned at the eye -napex area.
to This influence resulted in a deep sleep of the patient during 2-3 minutes after which he felt refreshed and fit for work. After 5 treatment session sleep has been normalized, neurotic disorders disappeared, working ability increased. Actually, there were no differences observed between induced stimulated sleep and physiological sleep.
Besides, influence by brain action currents pre-recorded from a healthy person after administering a stimulating drug (Sydnocarbum) also resulted in enforcement of the patient's physical and mental activity.
The above mentioned examples can be completed by a number of other possible 2o applications of the method described for treatment and prevention of various diseases.
