Electrosleep for the treatment of functional disorders of the CNS and brain

Physiotherapy is a common and topical treatment that includes several dozen methods. Electrosleep( neuron ) is one of them, the essence of which is the impact on the human nervous system with the help of low-frequency impulse currents.

This procedure was developed by Soviet physiotherapists in the mid-20th century. By the beginning of the new century, the methodology has gained a lot of supporters among European scientists, and in Russia it has been used almost in every field of medicine.

Human exposure and benefits of the

method Specially configureddevices in a constant polarity generate current pulses. They affect the cortex of the human brain, as well as subcortical formations. Impulses enter the structure of the brain through the orbit.

With the help of blood vessels such a monotonous weak stimulus reaches the hypothalamus. The impact on this part of the brain and on the reticular formation makes it possible to provoke a state close to sleep. Such a psychophysical "immersion", caused by the rhythmic effect of the current, is called the electrosphere.

This procedure allows:

• to improve blood supply to the brain;
• restore mental, humoral and vegetative balance;
• normalize the higher nervous activity;
• improve the functioning of the genitourinary system and the gastrointestinal tract;
• stimulate the process of hematopoiesis and lower the level of cholesterol, etc.

In Europe, this technique is called electroanalgesia, because it perfectly manages to remove spasms, restore metabolic processes and even stimulate the production of the "happiness hormone".

Electrosleep is a common and deservedly popular form of transseveral physiotherapy, which is relevant for almost any disease.

Indications and contraindications

Doctors of different specializations prescribe a course of electrosleep procedures, but neurologists usually apply to similar physiotherapeutic effects. The pathologies of this area are closely related to the central nervous system of a person, hence, the treatment of neurons for such ailments is especially relevant.

Neurological indications for electrosleep procedure:

• encephalopathy;
• atherosclerosis of any degree;
• vegetative dystonia;
• neurasthenia and neuroses;
• syndrome of chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances;
• enuresis;
• Raynaud's disease;
• traumatic brain injury.

Contraindications:

• hemorrhagic stroke;
• epilepsy;
• inflammatory eye diseases such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, uveitis;
• cataract, glaucoma;
• presence of metallic elements in the skull;
• inflammation of the skin in the places of fixation of electrodes.

Children's age( up to three years) is also contraindicated.

Algorithm and features of

Electrosonotherapy is usually performed in a physiotherapy room, but there are also mobile devices that perform their function directly in the patient's ward or at home. Before the procedure, it is recommended to arrange a light snack, and from applying cosmetics on the face should be discarded.

A person should sit comfortably on the couch, taking off the shy elements of clothing. To achieve maximum comfort, a blanket or blanket can be offered to the patient. The room itself is usually darkened and isolated from noise.

Specialist physiotherapeutic cabinet talks about the sensations and from the words of the patient makes an additional adjustment of the device, choosing the most comfortable pulse strength. Usually the frequency does not exceed 150 Hz, and the current strength is 10 mA.Voltage in this case reaches 80 V.

Current is supplied by means of a special mask. It has four metal connectors, into which the electrodes are fixed.

Monotone exposure should not cause pain or even discomfort. The doctor for some time is next to the patient and asks to describe their feelings. It is important that the person is as relaxed as possible. After a few minutes the patient will fall into a state of drowsiness.

The duration of the session for an adult varies from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the severity of the disease and the total number of procedures in the course.

According to the patients, the

Electrosleep for children and pregnant women

For children over the age of three years, the procedure for electrosleep can be prescribed, but its duration should not exceed 15 minutes, and the intensity of currents should be reduced. Depending on age and disease, the intensity of the effect is adjusted.

In modern perinatal centers, there are also devices for electrosleeping, because women in an interesting position also sometimes need a course of such physiotherapy.

Gynecologists often prescribe the technique in the second trimester of pregnancy if a woman has toxicosis. A course of 12-15 procedures is really able to reduce toxicosis or even completely rid of it.

Before giving birth or emergency delivery, a woman giving birth is often prescribed a therapy session, because he will allow the future mother to gain strength and calm down. The state of artificial drowsiness or sleep will restore emotional balance and allow a woman to overcome the final pregnancy with the greatest possible peace of mind.

The cost of a therapy session

It is not always possible to undergo a course of physiotherapy in a municipal polyclinic for free. For various reasons, you may need to undergo treatment for a fee. The cost of the session starts from the mark of 300 rubles. Usually, more affordable prices are offered by district clinics, which provide for paid services.

Private clinics are ready to offer a high level of service and comfort, but first of all a session on a modern and high-tech appliance for electrosleep.

One of the best devices can be called "Magnon-DKS".In the physiocabinets of many private clinics it is he who is installed. The cost of a course of physiotherapy consisting of 12 procedures in a paid clinic can reach 25 thousand rubles.

Likbez to future patients

Electrosleep therapy has gained popularity relatively recently, and has a long history. If in the sixties of the last century this method was skeptical, and it was considered completely unexplored, now more and more people are resorting to it.

Stress, emotional exhaustion and deep depression have become commonplace for the 21st century, not only medication, but also electrotherapy sessions help to cope with it. The rhythmic effect of low-frequency current can calm a person, relax him and improve cerebral circulation.

Neuroses cause somatic diseases. Children's neurologists constantly appoint an electrosleep to children suffering from enuresis. Scientists have long stated that the basis of this ailment is neurosis.

Pregnant women with late toxicosis can not find salvage in the preparations, since most of them are simply contraindicated when carrying a child. In view of this, women are offered to undergo several electrotherapy sessions in order to stimulate blood formation, metabolic processes and restore the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. This allows future mothers to forget about nausea and constant weakness.

The availability of the methodology is also an advantage. Almost every polyclinic can take a complete course, only in some it will be a paid service. Meanwhile, the cost of therapy is adequate and commensurate with the benefits it brings.
