Description

The invention relates to physiotherapy and medical techniques for treating the human body and animals and can be used both in physiological laboratories of medical institutions, and in the individual treatment of various diseases.

During long-term studies of the disease "osteochondrosis" it was found that several nerve fibers with a diameter of 2-4 mm protrude onto the surface of the skin. With the progression of this inflammatory process, the number of fibers increases and their size grows.

It is known that with toothache there is inflammation of nerve fibers, periodontal disease occurs (extensive degeneration of periodontal tissues and bone loss, leading to the loss of teeth). It is also known that the formation of tumors is caused by slagging of the body, for example, the formation of prostate adenoma is caused by the accumulation of iron salts in the prostate gland. It is known that acupuncture points are connected, through nerve fibers, with the internal organs of the body. For example, in Eastern reflexology, points are installed on each organ of the body, which together form meridians. It has been experimentally established that acupuncture points have exits to the skin surface with a diameter of 2-4 mm. A known method of treatment with Eastern reflexology of internal organs of the body, by exposure to needles or finger massage on acupuncture points, which are connected through nerve fibers with diseased organs, the place of which is determined by the drawn drawings.

The disadvantages of this method are: insufficient effectiveness of treatment due to inaccurate location of points and inaccurate placement of needles, or fingers on acupuncture points, weak response of the cerebral cortex during self-treatment of organs. A modern method of treating benign tumors with laser therapy is known, for example: treatment of prostate adenoma (APG) in combination with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory therapy. The basis of the mechanism of laser radiation, in the treatment of patients with benign hyperplasia (adenoma) of the prostate gland (BPH), consists in physiological reactions associated with resonant absorption of light by adenomotous tissues, and in violation of weak intermolecular bonds. It is believed that the effect of laser radiation is perceived and transferred by the liquid media of the whole body and is due to the anti-inflammatory effect, improved microcirculation and lymph drainage, and decreased permeability of the vascular walls.

The disadvantages of this method are: insufficient efficiency, the possibility of recurrence of the disease and the limited functionality of the device that implements this method. The device contains: laser apparatus "Pulsar-2", with a radiation power of 20 mW, a wavelength of 0.63 microns, with a modulation frequency of 100 Hz, and medications.

The disadvantages of the device are the high cost of equipment, low functionality, and bulky equipment.

There is also known a complex method of treating the disease, in which, to increase the efficiency of the second and third stages of the disease, an additional direction to the adenoma of highly focused ultrasound is used for its destruction and additional reflexotherapy at the patient's acupuncture points. The disadvantages of this method are also the lack of effectiveness of treatment, the possibility of re-disease, due to the weak efficiency of reflexotherapy, the possibility of bleeding, insufficient functionality of the device, the duration of the treatment procedure.

The device for implementing this method contains a laser apparatus "Pulsar-2", a generator of elastic waves with a frequency of 10.4 MHz, a piezoelectric emitter, a probe of the procedure head of a lithotripter of the Lt-01-3 type, operating at a frequency of 3.5 MHz with 8 fixed parcels. The lithotripter receives reflected waves at a frequency of 8 MHz and reflects on the epigraph of the prostate adenoma. A pulse generator destroys a benign tumor of the prostate gland, without injuring the nearest organs, and then reflexotherapy is performed by placing needles in the acupuncture points of the prostate gland for 35-40 minutes.

The disadvantages of the device are complexity, cumbersomeness, high cost, low functionality, and duration of the treatment procedure. The tumor of the prostate adenoma in the initial stage of the disease, caused by the accumulation of iron in the prostate in elderly men, is not eliminated. Close to the claimed method and the device that implements it is the use of electrotherapy using reflex responses of the cerebral cortex, when exposed to painful areas containing inflamed nerve fibers, unipolar electrical impulses of a certain frequency and amplitude, providing pain relief in the painful area. (6)

The disadvantages of this method are: insignificant efficiency, impossibility of treatment in hard-to-reach places, the possibility of irradiation with impulses of healthy nerve fibers, lack of search and separate treatment of nerve fibers. The device, Elita-M, which implements this method, contains a pulse frequency generator, an amplifier, a carbon filter, electrodes, and an indicator. The closest to the claimed method of electrotherapy with the device "ETNOS-100" that implements this method is: electrotherapy, by generating positive pulses along the first channel, and offset, after half a period, negative pulses along the second channel, triangular in shape, with pulse frequency adjustment, from 10 Hz to 100 Hz, and by adjusting the amplitudes in the first channel from 0-100 V and in the second channel up to 10 V (7). The electrodes of the device are made in the form of plates with a conductive paste applied to them.

The electrodes are applied to the painful areas of the limbs. This method provides the treatment of pain syndromes of post-traumatic and neurological origin, in diseases of osteochondrosis of the spine, radiculitis, in spinal cord injuries, as well as reduction of acute, pain, sensations, for example; in amputated limbs.

The disadvantages of this method are: insufficient effectiveness of treatment, limited possibility of treatment in hard-to-reach places, search and treatment of inflamed fibers is not provided, treatment of nerve fibers for toothache, headache, osteochondrosis, sinusitis, prostatitis, periodontal disease and other diseases is not provided. Cell death is possible, due to the high amplitude (100 V), in the pulse, and the destruction of the structure of nerve fibers. Slagging of body cells and resorption of tumors are not eliminated.

A device that implements this method, "ETNS-100", contains: a generator connected in series through two channels, waiting multivibrators, emitter followers, amplifiers, electrodes. The disadvantages of this device are also: lack of protection against metal penetration into the body and the complexity of the device.

The essence of the invention lies in: finding inflamed endings of nerve fibers, acupuncture points, in painful places, on the body, when scanning with a probe-shaped electrode of the device, and electrotherapy and anesthesia, by changing the direction of movement of electrons (ions) in the body, by switching potentials on the electrodes of the device ...

The essence of the invention consists in finding inflamed endings of nerve fibers, acupuncture points, in painful places, on the body, when scanning with a probe-shaped electrode of the device, and electrotherapy and anesthesia, by changing the direction of ion currents in the body, by switching potentials on the electrodes of the device. The problem is solved by registering the change in current at the input of the controlled amplifier of the device and changes in the ion currents in the body. This makes it possible to increase the functionality and efficiency of electrotherapy, provide treatment for more diseases in hard-to-reach places and restore the inflamed nerve fibers of the body at an insignificant cost of the device.

The effectiveness of electrotherapy in the restoration of nerve fiber cells is provided, for example: in case of osteochondrosis, in dental disease, in prostate adenoma disease, in the first stage, in the treatment of internal organs of the body using the found acupuncture points, in the treatment of benign tumors on the human body. Treatment is performed using a specific sequence of operations. Electrotherapy for the zones and points found is performed cyclically: with a cycle of 3-5 seconds and a pause of 3-5 seconds, with a change in the direction of ion currents between the electrodes applied to the body during the period of exposure, by changing their potentials. The specified method of electrotherapy and anesthesia is implemented by a device containing a pulse generator, amplifiers, electrodes, characterized in that it is additionally equipped with a controlled trigger, which is connected to a pulse generator, the second input of which is connected to a push-button switch, the trigger outputs are connected to the first and second controlled inputs of the switch potentials, to the third and fourth inputs of which a potential generator is connected, the second input of the potential switch is connected to a flat electrode, and the first output of the switch through a current regulator is connected to a probe-like search electrode and to a controlled amplifier, the second input of which is connected to the second output of the pushbutton switch, and the output controlled amplifier is connected to threshold amplifiers, the outputs of which are connected to light indicators.

FIG. 1 shows a functional diagram of the device.

The device contains: pulse generator 1, controlled trigger 2, push-button switch 3, potential switch 4, potential generator 5, flat electrode 6, controlled amplifier 7, current regulator 8, probe, search, electrode 9, threshold amplifiers 10, light indicators 11.

Methods for finding electrotherapy of body organs are implemented in the device as follows: generator 1 generates pulses with a frequency of 25 Hz, which are divided by two in trigger 2 and serve to control the potential switch 4, which, under the action of trigger 2 pulses, changes the input from the second output of the generator 6, potentials that go to the flat electrode 6, and from the first output, through the current regulator 8, to the probe-shaped electrode 9. In the initial position of the push-button switch 3, from the first output of the potential switch 4, through the current regulator 8, a positive potential is supplied to the probe-shaped electrode 9 , and from the second output of the switch 4, a negative potential is supplied to the flat electrode 6.

In this state of the device, the search for inflamed nerve endings on the body is carried out by scanning the electrode 9 over the patient's body. The current regulator 8 serves to regulate the amount of flow of the ion current in the body.

Trigger 2 and amplifier 7 are controlled by pushbutton switch 3. In the initial position of pushbutton switch 3, a positive voltage is supplied to amplifier 7 from its second output, which locks amplifier 7, and small currents flow at its output, which are fed through threshold amplifiers 10 to light indicators 11, illuminating the indicator 11 of the first threshold amplifier.

The turn-on thresholds of the threshold amplifiers 10 are made in such a way that they are triggered alternately, as the current at the electrode 9 and at the first input of the amplifier 7 increases. When a biologically active point, or an inflamed nerve fiber is found, the current at the first input of the amplifier 7 increases, causing alternate switching on threshold amplifiers 10 and the intense glow of the light indicators 11. The number and intensity of the light-emitting diodes are used to judge the location of the acupuncture point. When the pushbutton switch 3 is turned on, the amplifier 7 is turned off and the trigger 2 is turned on, which divides the incoming pulses by 2, which switches the potential switch 4, for example, with a frequency of 12.5 Hz, the switch 4 changes the polarity of the potentials supplied to its inputs, and thereby changing the direction of ion currents in the body, between the electrodes. This effect causes blood flow, subsequent anesthesia and restoration of nerve fibers, by scattering accumulated salts of toxins, and impulses arising from a change in the direction of ion currents stimulate acupuncture points during their treatment of internal organs. When treating internal organs by acupuncture points, the functioning of acupuncture points is restored. On the basis of individual long-term studies, it has been established that the method and the device implementing it allow, after selective restoration of points with osteochondrosis disease of the spine, to provide resistance to such a disease for 15-20 years. It also allows you to relieve toothache, headache, restoring the nerve fibers of the teeth, dissolve tumors that have arisen no later than 1.5-2 months.
