Description

The invention relates to medicine, in particular to methods for treating neuropsychiatric and psychosotatic diseases, and can be used to treat alcohol and tobacco abuse.

A known method for the treatment of alcoholism, including reflex exposure with a probe with simultaneous suggestive effects on a patient or group of patients (RF patent No. 2094039, class A 61 F 39/04 from 10.27.97).

The disadvantage of this method is the relatively low efficiency and discomfort of the treatment, due to the fact that the reflex effect is carried out on the areas causing spasms of the gastrointestinal tract and tachycardia.

This method is not suitable for the treatment of tobacco abuse.

There is also a method of treating tobacco abuse, based on the reflex effect on auricular points with an electric current of positive polarity and a current of varying polarity (AS USSR No. 1022708, class A 61 H 39/02 from 06/15/83).

The disadvantage of this method is its relatively low efficiency and the complexity of the therapy.

This method is not suitable for the treatment of alcohol dependence.

There is also known a method for the treatment of tobacco smoking, including exposure to auricular acupuncture points in left-handed people - the left auricle, in right-handed people - the right auricle (RF patent No. 2068687, class A 61 H 39/08 from 11/10/1996).

The methodology for this method includes the introduction of needles into the auricular points of AT-1; AT-6; AT-29 and to the corporal point GI 4 (he-gu) from the homolateral side, while the introduction of needles is carried out daily for 7-10 days, and with a duration of smoking more than 20 years, to one of the auricular points or to the GI 4 point of the needle administered symmetrically.

This method allows to reduce the duration of treatment and increase the number of rehabilitated patients.

However, this method has the disadvantage that daily for 7-10 days, the introduction of needles at the points of the auricle for 40-120 minutes is painful for the patient and takes a lot of time, and the introduction of needles at the corporal point GI 4 complicates the treatment process.

In addition, this method does not have universality, i.e. not suitable for the treatment of alcohol addiction.

The problem to which the invention is directed, is to increase the effectiveness of treatment and expand the functionality of the method.

The problem is solved due to the fact that in the method of treating alcohol and tobacco dependence, including the needles on the auricular acupuncture points in left-handed people - on the left, in right-handed people - on the right, microneedles are introduced on the auricular points AT-34, AT-55, AT-76 , AT-77, AT-78 and AT-82 with needles fixed for 7-10 days, after removal they are inserted into the same auricular points of the other ear and after 7-10 days they are removed and inserted into the dominant auricle at the same auricular points in this case, before each introduction of microneedles to auricular points and after each and psychotherapeutic effects removal is carried out by verbal suggestion.

The method is as follows.

Treatment of smoking begins 10-12 hours after the last cigarette smoked, and in the treatment of alcohol dependence, the patient should not drink alcohol for 5-7 days.

Treatment is carried out according to a program consisting of three consecutive stages. The first stage involves the introduction of microneedles (microchips) into the dominant auricle (in left-handed people - the left, in right-handed people - the right) to strictly defined points of the auricle, which are connected with the so-called pleasure centers related to the limbic region of the central nervous system. Such points are: AT-34 (a point of the cerebral cortex); AT-55 (sedative point); AT-76 (first liver yang), AT-77 (second liver yang); AT-78 (the top of the curl); AT-82 (diaphragm).

After the introduction of microneedles, they are fixed for 7-10 days using a flesh-colored fixing film or a flesh-colored adhesive. Before the introduction of needles in the first stage, a psychotherapeutic effect is carried out by verbal suggestion.

So, in the treatment of tobacco dependence, there is a verbal suggestion that as a result of the action of the microchip on the auricular points, the functionally excited brain structures responsible for tobacco addiction will be “blocked”.

In the treatment of alcohol dependence, verbal action occurs with the words “as a result of the action of microneedles on auricular points, functionally excited structures of the brain will be blocked for a period of 1, 2 or 3 years (at the request of the patient). “Alcohol has become poison for you, capable of even causing small doses to cause a strong reaction in the form of fainting, vomiting, loss of consciousness”, etc.

In the second stage after the introduction of microneedles, a psychotherapeutic effect is also carried out by verbal suggestion.

In this case, the corresponding words are pronounced, depending on the treatment, what kind of dependence the procedure is taking. In the treatment of tobacco and alcohol dependence, it is said that any attempt to smoke or drink alcohol during treatment can lead to complications in the form of fainting, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness, decreased vision and functions of vital organs, and that with all sorts of thoughts, smoke or drink , massage the dots with microneedles on the auricle.

After 7-10 days, the microneedles are removed and before they are inserted into the same auricular points of the other ear, they carry out a psychotherapeutic effect by verbal suggestion that “you have an aversion to tobacco (alcohol). You cannot tolerate the smell of alcohol and your well-being has improved significantly. ”

After 7-10 days, the patient arrives at the reception. Microneedles are removed and before the introduction of microneedles in the third stage on the auricular points of the auricle of the dominant ear, they carry out a psychotherapeutic effect by verbal suggestion that “you showed your will and desire to quit smoking (“ you developed a persistent aversion to alcohol ”).

It should be noted that in the third stage of treatment, microneedles are set for 7-10 days for the most malicious smokers, while in the treatment of alcohol dependence microneedles are set for 10 days.

After all these procedures, all patients are advised to control after 3, 6 months.

Clinical trials have shown that this method of treating alcohol and tobacco dependence is effective and does not take a lot of time both for the treatment itself and for the time spent by the patient himself.
