Description

The invention relates to medicine, namely to methods for conservative treatment of closed traumatic brain injury.

There is a method of treating closed craniocerebral trauma by exposure to the body of a magnetic field and the introduction of drugs, the description of which is given in [1].

The method is as follows.

The patient is prescribed medication, and the dosage of drugs is 1.5-2 times less than generally accepted. At the same time, physiotherapy is started.

A device for implementing the method comprises a direct current source and an exposure element made in the form of a multi-turn inductor, the winding of which is placed on a dielectric frame. During the procedure, the patient’s head is placed inside the exposure element.

However, the use of only a magnetic field for physiotherapy limits the magnitude of the therapeutic effect. It is possible to increase the therapeutic effect by exposing the patient’s head to a magnetic and electric field - an electromagnetic field.

The objective of the invention is to increase the therapeutic effect.

This is achieved by the fact that in the method of treating closed head injury by administering drugs to the body and exposing the brain to physical factors according to the invention, the exposure is effected by an alternating electromagnetic field formed by a sinusoidal signal with a carrier frequency in the range of 200-1000 kHz with amplitude-modulated voltage with a frequency in the range of 10-100 Hz using two inductive emitters.

This is achieved by the fact that in the device for treating closed traumatic brain injury containing a power source and an impact element made in the form of an inductor, the winding of which is placed on the surface of a cylindrical dielectric frame, according to the invention, an additional impact element in the form of a spiral inductor, a winding is introduced which is placed on a flat dielectric frame, the oscillator circuit, a modulator and an additional dielectric frame in the form of an arch, the edges of which are connected with a cylindrical frame, and a flat frame is fixed in the center, while the windings of both inductors are connected in series and, according to and through the capacitor, are connected to the oscillator circuit, which is connected to a power source by a modulator, and the oscillator circuit is capable of generating an amplitude-modulated signal with a carrier a frequency in the range of 200-1000 kHz and a modulation frequency in the range of 10-100 Hz.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that during physiotherapy they are exposed to a high-frequency electromagnetic field, amplitude-modulated low-frequency voltage.

It is known that when applying an electromagnetic field formed by a high frequency sinusoidal signal (range 200-1000 kHz), an amplitude-modulated low frequency signal, a high therapeutic effect is obtained with a very low field strength [2].

Figure 1 shows a functional diagram of a device for implementing a method of treating closed traumatic brain injury; figure 2 - the device Assembly; figure 3 is a flat element of the impact.

The device contains two exposure elements 1 and 2, each of which is made in the form of an inductor.

The windings of the coils are connected in series and according to and by means of a capacitor 3 are connected to the circuit of the oscillator 4, which is made according to the scheme with a capacitive three-point.

The frequency of the generated sinusoidal signal is determined by the total inductance of the windings 1 and 2 and the capacitance of the capacitor 3. The circuit of the oscillator 4 through a modulator 5 is connected to a power source 6.

A control circuit is connected to the oscillator circuit, which contains an amplitude detector 7, a DC amplifier 8, and an indicator 9, which is made in the form of an LED.

Figure 2 shows the device assembly.

The device comprises a frame 10 made of a solid dielectric having the shape of an arch. At the edges of the frame 10 is connected to the frame 11, which is made of a solid dielectric and has the shape of a cylinder. On the side surface of the frame 11 is placed a winding 1 of the first exposure element. A housing 12 is fixed in the center of the frame 10, in which the second action element 2 is placed. The action element 2 is made in the form of an inductor, the winding of which is placed on a flat dielectric frame 13. The winding is made in the form of a spiral and placed on the frame 13, which is made in the form of a radially located petals with gaps, while the wire of each coil of the winding alternately bends adjacent petals from opposite sides, the number of petals is odd.

The frame of the coil 13 is fixed in the housing 12 with glue. A housing 14 is mounted on the side surface of the frame 10, in which a hybrid oscillator circuit and a control circuit are placed. The modulator circuit 5 is placed in the housing of the power source 6. The device may additionally have a timer, which is installed in the housing of the power source 6.

The oscillator circuit and the control circuit are connected to the power source using cable 15. The device operates as follows. When the power is turned on, the supply voltage is supplied to the circuit of the oscillator 4. The oscillator of the device generates a sinusoidal signal with a carrier frequency in the range of 200-1000 kHz, modulated by a low-frequency signal in the range of 10-100 Hz.

The magnitude of the amplitude of the high-frequency signal on the windings depends on the supply voltage. In the presence of a high-frequency signal on the windings of the exposure elements, the LED indicator lights up.

After conducting diagnostic studies, the patient is prescribed medication, and the dosage is 2-2.5 times less than the generally accepted one. At the same time, sessions of exposure to a high-frequency electromagnetic field are prescribed.

The treatment method is carried out using the proposed device.

During the session, the device is placed on the head of the victim, turn on the power. The voltage of the power source during the procedure does not change, but vary during the course of treatment. The exposure in each case is selected individually. In the first sessions, it should be no more than 15 minutes, and in the future it can be increased to 30 minutes.

The choice of supply voltage - voltage on the windings of the elements of exposure and exposure are determined by the severity of the positive effect of treatment.

The number of daily physiotherapy sessions ranges from 3 to 15.

Tests that took place in hospitals in the city of Omsk showed that the proposed method for the treatment of closed traumatic brain injury can significantly accelerate the elimination of acute trauma, restore the functions of the nervous system, and reduce the volume and duration of drug therapy.

The proposed method reduces the time of inpatient treatment of victims.
