Description

The invention relates to medicine, in particular to children's neuropathology. Close to the claimed is a method of treating children with a traumatic brain injury with an electromagnetic field of ultrahigh frequency decimeter range (DMV) (L.M. Babina, V.V. Arzumanova, I.I. Iordanova, T.V. Afanasyeva “Craniocerebral trauma in children, its consequences and treatment methods. ”- Nalchik. - 1999. - S. 74-77).

This method involves the use of DMV therapy in the region of the upper cervical sympathetic nodes from the Chamomile-2 apparatus with a frequency of 915 MHz at a power of up to 30 W, exposure time of 10 minutes, with a frequency of administration 2-3 times a week, for a course of 10 procedures. The response to exposure at an initial power of 10 W was mixed. Some children (10 people) increased complaints of headaches after the procedure. Children felt nauseous, dizzy. In this regard, the power of DMV therapy was reduced to 5 watts. Children endured such a load better. This method of treatment provided a reduction in individual clinical symptoms, which did not allow us to consider the results of treatment sufficiently effective.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that they carry out exposure to a low frequency electromagnetic field without direct contact of the device with the patient from the Infita device on the central nervous system with a frequency of 30 Hz, the duration of the first procedure is 5 minutes, then the duration increases by 2 minutes and by 4-5 the procedure reaches 10 minutes. In the course of treatment 10 procedures daily.

The method is illustrated by the following example:

Patient Kolya Stroy, 13 years old (medical history No. 999), was admitted to the department on May 22, 2001 with complaints of headache attacks, fatigue, dizziness.

Obstetric analysis is favorable.

In 2000, he received a closed head injury (fall from a ladder). There was a loss of consciousness within 5 minutes, they did not seek medical help, independently returned home from school, complained of dizziness, nausea.

A year after the injury, headaches, dizziness began to disturb, he quickly became tired. When addressing these complaints to a neurologist, he was diagnosed with a “Sequence of traumatic brain injury, cerebral arachnoiditis”. It is on the “D” account, receives outpatient treatment.

On examination: slight smoothness of the left nasolabial fold, nystagmus, in the Romberg position - swaying, slight tremor of the fingers of outstretched hands, revitalization of tendon reflexes. The fundus is the narrowing of the arteries and the expansion of the veins. Rheography of the brain - a decrease in amplitude-pulse blood supply, a violation of the venous outflow. Encephalography - moderate diffuse changes in the EEG, lack of response to functional tests.

The patient was treated with a low-frequency electromagnetic field from the Infita apparatus without direct contact of the apparatus with the patient on the central nervous system, with a frequency of 30 Hz, 5-10 minutes, and 10 treatments daily for a course of treatment. At the same time, a massage course was prescribed for the cervical-collar zone and back, physiotherapy exercises, radon baths with a concentration of radon of 40 nCi / l (temperature 37 ° C, exposure - 10 minutes, 8 treatments per course). He tolerated the treatment easily. As a result, the child’s condition improved: headaches decreased significantly, dizziness disappeared, became more active, fatigue decreased, sleep improved. Objectively, the tremor of the fingertips of outstretched hands decreased, more confidently performs coordinating tests. From the side of the craniocerebral innervation - without pathology, tendon reflexes - living, equal. On the rheoencephalogram, the amplitude-pulse blood supply to the blood vessels of the brain increased from 0.13 ± 0.02 to 0.18 ± 0.015 Ohms (p <0.001), the venous outflow improved. On the EEG, the alpha index increased from 46 to 70%. The treatment outcome was rated as a significant improvement.

The treatment according to the proposed method was carried out by 30 patients with a cerebral arachnoiditis trauma after a brain injury and 23 patients with the same pathology (control group) received treatment according to the prototype method, i.e. Exposure of the decimeter-wave range to the collar zone by an electromagnetic field Both groups of patients according to the main clinical characteristics were approximately the same (table 1).

Analysis of the treatment results by the proposed and known methods revealed clinical and paraclinical parameters in children of both groups, but it turned out to be more significant in children treated with the proposed method (table 2).

The data in table 2 indicate that in children of the main group, headache and dizziness in all children were significantly reduced. No vomiting or nausea was observed. Children became calmer, their interest in games increased markedly, behavioral disorders decreased, memory, attention improved, fears, tremors significantly decreased, sleep improved.

When examining the neurological status from the side of the craniocerebral innervation, positive dynamics was observed in more than half of the cases, from the reflex sphere in 23.4%. In children, the tremor of outstretched arms decreased - 49.9% and coordination disorders - in 50%.

Among the children of the control group of the 15 main signs of the disease, only 5 had significantly positive changes.

Studies of the bioelectric activity of the brain revealed some changes (table 3).

During the spa treatment, the number of patients with a regular alpha rhythm increased in patients of the main group. The leading betta rhythm was preserved in 5 of 8 patients who had it before. Of 43.4% of cases in which disorganization of biopotentials was detected before treatment, dysrhythmia persisted in 34.7%. Slow-wave activity after treatment was observed only in 4 patients, paroxysmal activity in 3 people. In patients there was an increase in the alpha index and the amplitude of the alpha waves. The coefficient of amplitude asymmetry tended to decrease.

In the control group, the type of EEG practically did not change. An increase in the number of patients with a regular alpha rhythm did not occur, in 2 children a slow activity appeared on the background of the alpha rhythm, in 6 - the initial background rhythm was preserved, in patients there was dysrhythmia, which indicates a deterioration in bioelectric activity.

The amplitudes of alpha waves and the alpha index remained the same in the vast majority of patients as before treatment, the coefficient of amplitude asymmetry tended to increase.

As shown by the analysis of the rheoencephalogram, the state of blood supply and peripheral resistance underwent a number of positive changes. In the main group, the amplitude-pulse blood supply increased on average from 0.15 ± 0.01 to 0.18 ± 0.01 (p <0.05), the initially increased vascular tone decreased (from 80% to 52%, P <0 , 05). In children of the control group, there was a slight decrease in pulse arterial blood filling - from 0.18 to 0.17 ohms and an increase in the asymmetry coefficient. There was also a slight increase in the tone of the vessels of the brain (by 1.2%), along with a decrease in vascular resistance (by 10%) (table 4).

Summarizing the dynamics of clinical and functional indicators in children of the main and control groups, we evaluated the treatment results as follows (table 5):

We attribute the advantage of the proposed method of treatment to the impact on the central nervous system of a pulsed low-frequency electromagnetic field, which improves central blood supply, oxygen saturation of the blood, increases redox processes, and, consequently, improves neurodynamic and hemoliquorodynamic processes in the central parts of the nervous system.

The pathogenetic effect of INEMP is due to the regulatory effect on neuro- and hemodynamics, microcirculation and is based on the biomedical resonance effects of weak electromagnetic fields, to which the human body exhibits a particularly high individual sensitivity.
