DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to medical technology and can be used for the treatment of headache functional consequences of inflammatory and traumatic brain processes, with migraine, as well as in hypertension and atherosclerosis.

The analogues of the proposed method are various variants of electrophysical excitation or inhibition of biologically active points and skin zones. The effectiveness of such an impact depends on the magnitude, shape and direction of the vector of the generated electric field with respect to the acupuncture point, and the procedure of treatment requires high qualification of medical personnel, even if there are technical means of fixing such points [1].

The closest analogue of the invention is the method of treating a headache with electric current pulses [2] which block the activity of the ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system, the current density per unit volume in the space between the cathode and the anode increases from the cathode to the anode because of the smaller area of ​​the latter : In one of the implementations of the known method in the treatment of migraine, the anode area is 1.7 cm 2 , and the cathode = 96.8 cm 2 .

The authors of this method indicate the possibility of influencing the right or left branches of the sympathetic nervous system in the zones of the cervical ganglia, and with the blocking of ganglion activity, the tonic effect on the blood vessels of the brain is weakened, as a result of which its blood supply increases. In the device implementing this method, the treatment of headache, the direction of the vector of electric current pulses in the space between the anode and the cathode does not change during treatment. The setting of biotropic parameters of electric current pulses (for biochemical studies, the parameters of signals acting on biological objects are called biotropic [3]) are produced by the pupil expansion reaction and subjective sensation of the patient. Empirically determined intervals of the values ​​of the current pulse parameters at which the therapeutic effect is greatest: amplitude - (20-30) mA, duration less than 200 microseconds, frequency - (20-50) Hz.

In the treatment of migraine, the time of one procedure is 15 to 20 minutes, the procedures are conducted daily for two months. Simultaneously with electrophysical influence, serotonin antagonists are prescribed to the patient. A combination of electrophysical effects and pharmacological agents, the authors of the method are used for other diseases accompanied by a headache.

The disadvantages of the known electrophysical method of treating a headache are:

  • Low reliability of the correct choice of biotropic parameters of current pulses, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient;
  • Long duration of the treatment process;
  • Pharmacological purposes in combination with electrophysical treatment.

These disadvantages limit the possibilities of the electrophysical method of treating headache.

Summary of the invention consists in that in the known electrophysical method of treating a headache by placing an anode and a cathode of different area into the zones of the cervical ganglia, affecting them with pulses of electric current with the possibility of blocking the activity of one of the ganglia by adjusting the amplitude, frequency and duration of the pulses by the pupil response And subjective sensation of the patient, the action of pulses of electric current on the cervical ganglia is carried out using multichannel electrodes consisting of several partial galvanically isolated current-conducting elements. In the action, a pause is formed. Simultaneously with these procedures, we measure our own electromagnetic radiation of the decimeter wavelength range in symmetric regions of the brain, calculate the matrix of the correlation coefficients R of this radiation and compare its value with the given value of the correlation matrix of the self-electromagnetic radiation of the decimeter wavelength range of the calibrator Ro. At R <Ro, the zone of blocking the activity of the cervical ganglia is changed according to the program, the program for switching the partial elements of the multichannel electrodes is changed, the amplitude, the frequency, the pulse duration, the number and duration of the pauses and the total exposure exposure are adjusted until the value of the correlation matrix R of the intrinsic electromagnetic radiation The brain will not become more preset Ro.

ELECTROPHYSICAL METHOD OF TREATMENT OF HEADACHE. Patent of the Russian Federation RU2131274

The electrophysical method for treating headache is performed according to the functional scheme shown in Fig. 2. From the output of the shaper 3, pulses of electric current are applied to multi-channel electrodes 1 and 2, each of which consists of several partial galvanically isolated current-conducting elements. Anodes 7 and 8 are structurally combined with multichannel electrodes 1 and 2: in each multichannel electrode, one of these elemental elements serves as an anode function, the rest of the cathode. The anodes 7 and 8 when installing multi-channel electrodes 1 and 2 on the patient's neck should be located above the left or right cervical ganglia, respectively. The areas of all partial elements, including anodes 7 and 8, are equal. The program device 16 generates a switching algorithm for the switches 9 and 10 through which the electric current pulses are applied to the multi-channel electrodes 1 and 2 and the anodes 7 and 8: if an anode 7 is used that is structurally combined with the multi-channel electrodes 1, then the cathode functions fulfill the partial elements of the multichannel electrode 2 , Which are switched by the switch 9; If an anode 8 is used that is structurally aligned with the multilayer electrode 2, then the cathode functions perform the partial elements of the multi-channel electrode 1 which are switched by the switch 10. The program device 16 and the switches 9 and 10 provide switching of the partial elements of the multi-channel electrodes 1 and 2 according to various laws: clockwise Arrow or against, sampling by row, column or diagonal, pseudo-random, etc., a and switch the anodes 7 and 8. In this case, in the space between the anode 7 (or 8) and the corresponding multi-channel electrode 2 (or 1) A field of electrical pulses whose vector direction changes in accordance with the selected switching law of the partial elements, and the current density of these pulses per unit volume has a maximum value in the anode zone 7 (or 8), which ensures the blocking of the activity of the corresponding branch of the sympathetic nervous system. If it is necessary to change the blocking of the activity of one branch of the sympathetic nervous system to another, then, upon the command of the program device 16, a switch 10 is switched on which switches the partial elements of the multichannel electrode 1 and connects the anode 8 or the switch 9 which switches the partial elements of the multielement electrode 2 and Connection of the anode 7. Upon the command from the program device 16, the switches 9 and 10 disconnect from the multichannel electrodes 1 and 2 of the anodes 7 and 8 the shaper 3 of the electric current pulses: a pause is formed in electrophysical action on the cervical ganglia.

Simultaneously with the electrophysical effect on the cervical ganglia and in the pauses, we measure our own electromagnetic radiation of the decimeter wavelength range of the brain. For this purpose, a multichannel microwave radio thermometer 12 is used that estimates the power of this radiation, whose antennas are installed in symmetrical regions of the brain: frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital, etc. According to these estimates, the value of the coefficient of correlation matrix

Where - Coefficient of correlation between the electromagnetic radiation of the brain areas in which the measurement is made;

R ii , r jj are the coefficients of autocorrelation of the radiation of the zones of the brain in which the measurement is made.

Then, the obtained value of the correlation coefficient matrix in the comparison device 15 with a predetermined Ro, which is generated by the setpoint block 14, is compared. At least, the given level should be greater than the value of the correlation coefficient matrix calculated when the self-electromagnetic radiation of the decimeter wavelength range of the calibrator is measured by the same microwave radio thermometer as the thermostated reservoir with physiological saline [4]. Estimations of the value of the matrix of the correlation coefficient of the electromagnetic radiation of the calibrator in the frequency range from 650 to 850 MHz, based on the results of measurements of radiation from the radio-frequency microscope of the medical PM-40, showed that its value does not exceed 0.05, i.е. We can take Ro = 0.05.

If the condition R> Ro is not satisfied, (2) the controller adjusts the biotropic parameters of the electric current pulses by their controller 4 for their amplitude, frequency and duration, the zone of blocking the activity of the cervical ganglia is switched, the number and duration of pauses in the action of electric current pulses on the cervical ganglia, The partial elements of multi-element electrodes 1 and 2 and the total exposure until condition (2) is satisfied, i.e. The value of the matrix of correlation coefficients of the electromagnetic self-radiation of the brain does not become more than the preset Ro.

To perform the above procedures, one of the methods developed for multiparameter systems is used, for example, the method of coordinatewise lifting, which successively changes each parameter or group of parameters until the specified value of the objective function is achieved [5], in our case the coefficient matrices Correlation.

From the pathogenetic point of view, the headache arises as a consequence of a disturbance in the stable balance between the transport of intercellular fluid, blood and cerebrospinal fluid. Such a disorder can occur both in functional (regulatory) disorders in the hemocirculation and liquorodynamics system, and in some organic brain lesions.

It is known that the activity of all mechanisms of regulation and self-regulation of local cerebral blood flow is controlled by three main contours: neurogenic, mainly sympathetic, metabolic and myogenic [6], [7]. The proposed electrophysical method of influencing the cervical sympathetic ganglions is directed toward the electrotonic blockade of the activity of one of these contours, namely postgallonary neurons and their branches innervating the arterial vascular system of the brain, as well as the membranes of the brain and its other structures, including the cells of the neurology that provide the final trophic processes In the nervous tissue. Temporal suppression of neurogenic sympathetic control causes a decrease in the tone of the arterial vessels, including small intracerebral arteries and precapillary sphincters, and activates the work of neuroglia, endoplietocytes and smooth myocytes of the vascular wall [8]. This causes an increase in the influx of arterial blood in the brain tissue and activation of the final trophic and metabolic processes, as a result of which the volume of the intercellular fluid sector changes and the structure of the hydrodynamic balance of the brain changes. The inclusion of a pause in the treatment of the cervical ganglion in the procedure of the healing process contributes to the "artificial training" of the connections of the contours of the regulation of the blood supply to the brain, increases the possibilities for correlating the system of regulation of the hydrodynamic balance.

To monitor the process of correction of the hydrodynamic balance of the brain in the electrophysical method, the treatment of the headache is measured by its own electromagnetic radiation in the decimeter wavelength range. It is known that the power S of the electromagnetic radiation of a biological tissue is determined by its thermodynamic temperature T and the absorption coefficient Radiation in tissue [9]:

Where Z - d is the thickness of the fabric.

However, local fluctuations in the thermoproduction of the brain are equalized due to the high thermal conductivity of the brain tissues and the active thermoregulatory reaction. According to experimental contact measurements [10], if extreme supercooling or overheating is excluded, the amplitude of changes in the thermodynamic temperature of the human brain in the thermoneutral zone does not exceed 0.06 ° C. In the frequency range of radiation from 650 to 850 mHz, modern radiothermographs receive brain radiation of depth up to 3 - 4 cm [11], the main part of which is formed by a thermoneutral medium. Therefore, fluctuations in the radiation power S of the human brain in this wavelength range are predominantly determined by the change in the absorption coefficient , Which depends on the level of brain hydration.

The authors carried out a large amount of experimental measurements of the electromagnetic radiation of the human brain in the frequency range from 650 to 850 MHz, which made it possible to reveal the functional nature of changes in the parameters of radiation fluctuations with a period of 10 to 50 seconds. As shown by the results of the study of the statistical characteristics of these fluctuations in the state of rest and under various functional loads, their spatio-correlation estimates for brain zones remote at a distance of 3-5 cm objectively characterize the state of intercellular fluid transport in the brain tissues [12].

In the period from 1994 to November 1997, a course of treatment with electrophysical treatment of headache in 153 patients was conducted in the cerebral circulation laboratory of the Sverdlovsk Regional Clinical Psychoneurological Hospital for veterans of wars. Prior to the treatment, the condition of the arterial system of the brain was examined by the transcranial Doppler ultrasound technique of the EME (Germany) device "TS-2000S" by each patient in order to exclude the gross morphofunctional pathology of the vessels, for example stenoses or aneurysms, in which other methods of treatment are advisable. The treatment of the headache with the proposed electrophysical method was carried out in a shielded cabin, which attenuates the industrial interference of electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range from 650 to 820 MHz to the level of 10 W. To block the activity of the cervical ganglia, the "Simpatokor-01" device (the sympathetic nervous system activator for the electroimpulse) was used, and for the monitoring of changes in hydrodynamics in the brain tissues, the medical radio-tomograph РМ-40 (two-channel microwave radio thermometer) developed by the design bureau "Ecological and Medical Equipment "(Kamensk-Uralsky city). Antennas-applicators of the radio-thermoscope were installed in symmetrical zones of the parietal region of the brain. Evaluation of the matrix of correlation coefficients of brain electromagnetic radiation was averaged over the observation interval T and calculated by the equation:

Where x 1j (t) and x 2j (t) are the current instantaneous values ​​of the measured signals of electromagnetic radiation in the left and right parietal zones of the brain;

Current average values ​​of the measured signals of electromagnetic radiation in the left and right parietal zones of the brain;

N is the number of pairs of observed values, N = T.

The treatment of the headache with the proposed method was carried out until stable performance of the condition (2) was achieved in two or more successive medical procedures.

As a result of treatment in 94 patients, the pain stopped completely, in 58 patients in the expected periods of the onset of headaches they felt only prodromal signs or the attack passed in an erased form, without the need to take analgesics, in 5 patients the improvement was observed within 1-2 days after Treatment procedure. After 1 to 2 years, a second survey of a group of patients who received a full course of treatment with a positive result (57 in all), in 9 patients the suffering was completely stopped, 48 patients noted a feeling of prodromal signs in the expected periods of the onset of headache attacks or a headache attack Erased form, without the need to take analgesics.

During the treatment procedure, the radio-thermoscope of the medical PM-40 measured its own electromagnetic radiation of the brain in two symmetrical zones of the parietal regions of the left and right hemispheres before exposure to the cervical ganglia, during and after exposure to them. The values ​​of the matrix of the correlation coefficients from the results of these measurements and the position of the amplitude regulators, duration, and frequency of the pulses of the electric current of the "Simpatokor-01" device when exposed to the cervical ganglia are given in Table 1 (see below).

Drug therapy was not applied. During the period of outpatient treatment of migraine attacks was not.

On 12.02.97 the patient was invited to a consultative reception: she did not present any complaints about paroxysmal headaches; During the past period, several times felt the harbingers of the attack, but there was no previous headache of the attack; During this period, analgesic and sedative drugs were not used.

Example 2
Patient T., born in 1955, medical history N 8934, was admitted to treatment in the 10th department of the Sverdlovsk Regional Clinical Psychoneurological Hospital for Veterans of Wars 06.09.96.

He complained of headache paroxysmal in the occipital region, accompanied by dizziness, staggering when walking, fluctuations in blood pressure from 130/90 to 95/60 mm Hg, stabbing pain in the heart, rapid fatigue, restless sleep, emotional lability.

Anamnesis in life: sick from childhood; After the transferred poliomyelitis there were pains in legs or foots, delicacy; Since 1975 there were headaches, which connects with the change of residence; In 1992 he underwent ZCHMT; Headaches, dizziness, unsteadiness during walking increased during the last year.

On examination: the general condition is satisfactory, the skin is clean, the heart sounds are rhythmic, AD-120/80 mmHg, pulse-68 beats per minute; Vesicular breathing, no wheezing; The abdomen is mild, painful in the epigastric region and the right hypochondrium; The liver is not enlarged, not palpable; No meningeal symptoms; The movement of the eyeballs outward is limited, the convergence is weakened, the right corner of the mouth at rest is lowered, the movements are free, in full, the muscle tone is uniformly reduced, the muscles of the right calf and thigh are hypotrophy, the muscular force is evenly reduced; Limps on the right leg; Sensitivity reduced, radicular hypostasia of the right thigh and lower leg; Tendon reflexes - knee, Achilles, D> S; In the Romberg pose - swaying; Palzenosovaya sample with a falling from two sides.

With transcranial dopplerography: signs of gross organic pathology have not been revealed. Indirect signs of vascular dystonia are found.

When performing an orthostatic test, the patient showed symptoms of orthostatic collapse (dizziness, vomiting, blanching of the skin).

According to the data of rheoencephalography - signs of a decrease in pulse blood filling. The patient is diagnosed with the main diagnosis: an organic brain disease of a combined genesis (consequences of poliomyelitis, ZCHMT in the form of hypertensive syndrome, liquorodynamic disorders); Neurocirculatory dystonia by cardinal type.

The patient was treated: cavinton, euphilin, icotinic acid, vitamin B 1 , vitamin B 6 , relanium, nootropil, sonapaks. Against the background of treatment, there was no significant improvement in the condition, vegetative crises (episodes of dizziness, nausea, palpitations) were preserved. At the final stage of hospitalization, a course of electrophysical treatment with the "Simpatokor-01" device was conducted with simultaneous abolition of all medical therapy.

In the period from 11.09.96 to 18.09.96 the patient was given 6 procedures of electrotherapy with the device "Simpatokor-01", each of which was carried out according to scheme A. During each procedure, the radio-thermoscope of the medical PM-40 measured its own electromagnetic radiation of the brain in two symmetrical zones of the occipital Areas of the left and right hemispheres before exposure to the cervical ganglia, during and after exposure to them. The values ​​of the matrix of the correlation coefficients from the results of these measurements and the position of the amplitude regulators, duration, and frequency of the pulses of the electric current of the "Simpatokor-01" device when exposed to the cervical ganglia are shown in Table 2.

As a result, after the course of electrophysical treatment, the patient's condition improved in the form of disappearance of vegetative crises, severe headaches (the patient noted a significant reduction in the level of headache that he suffered without using medicines); Normalized sleep.

However, according to radiothermography, a stable balance between the transport of intercellular fluid, blood and cerebrospinal fluid in the patient's brain tissue was not achieved, since it was not possible to achieve a stable excess of the R values ​​of the correlation coefficient matrix during the treatment procedures of the rate of the set value Ro = 0.05.

Therefore, patient T. repeated the course of electrophysical treatment with the device "Simpatokor-01". In the period from December 24, 1996 on December 30, 1996, 5 procedures were performed according to Scheme A. During each procedure, the radio-thermoscope of the medical PM-40 measured its own electromagnetic radiation of the brain in two symmetrical zones of the parietal regions of the left and right hemispheres before exposure to the cervical ganglia, during And after exposure to them. The values ​​of the matrix of correlation coefficients from the results of these measurements and the position of the amplitude regulators, duration, and frequency of the electric current pulses of the "Simpatokor-01" device when exposed to the cervical ganglia are shown in Table 3.

After the second course of electrophysical treatment with the "Simpatokor-01" device, a significant improvement in the patient's condition was achieved: headaches ceased, the patient did not complain of fatigue and stitching pains in the heart area, emotional lability.

During 1997, the patient T. was observed outpatient: there were no complaints of a headache on his part.

Example 3
The patient M., born in 1952, the history of the disease No. 8190, was treated at the 13th ward of the Sverdlovsk Regional Clinical Psychoneurological Hospital for Veterans of Wars from 18.09.96 to 16.10.96.

Diagnosis: chronic alcoholism of II century. In the form of drunken drunkenness, asthenic syndrome.

The patient turned to complaints about unstable sleep, nightmarish dreams, headaches, insuperable attraction to alcohol, unstable appetite, general weakness.

Anamnesis: began to abuse alcohol since 1986; Consumes hard liquor up to 0.75 liters per day, a vomitive reflex is lost, alcoholic amnesia, binges up to 4 days, light intervals up to 10 days are noted; Has lost control over alcohol consumption, uses surrogates of alcohol; In a state of alcoholic intoxication in 1995 received a fracture of the spine (12 thoracic vertebra).

Education is secondary, worked as a master at a machine-building plant, changed several jobs, nowhere does not work.

On examination: the general condition is satisfactory, the face is hyperemic, the conjunctiva is hyperemic; Heart sounds are muffled, rhythmic, in the lungs - hard breathing, tongue moist, is sunburned with sulfur; The abdomen is soft, palpation painful in the right hypochondrium, the liver is enlarged, protrudes from under the costal arch by 1.5-2 cm. The blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg, the pulse is 68 beats per minute.

There are no meningeal symptoms, there are no signs of focal symptomatology, there are no disturbances of the sensory and motor spheres, small eyelids tremor, small tremor of the tongue. In the Romberg pose unstable. Paltsososovaya sample with a falling from two sides. The mood is reduced, suppressed. Attraction to algocolus is compulsive.

The patient underwent a course of treatment: Relanium, sodium thiosulfate, sulphocamphocaine, vitamin B 1 , elenium. The use of these drugs did not bring improvement.

Therefore, it was decided to bring the course of electrophysical treatment with the device "Simpatokor-01".

The patient was given a course of 9 procedures according to the following scheme:

  • 1 procedure : exposure to the right cervical ganglion for 1 minute, 2 minutes after the removal of this exposure, exposure to the left cervical ganglion for 1 minute;
  • 2 procedure: exposure to the right cervical ganglion for 2 minutes, 3 minutes after removal of this exposure, effect on the left cervical ganglion for 2 minutes;
  • 3 procedure: exposure to the right cervical ganglion for 3 minutes, 4 minutes after removal of this exposure, effect on the left cervical ganglion for 3 minutes;
  • 4 procedure: exposure to the right cervical ganglion for 4 minutes, after 5 minutes after the removal of this effect, the effect on the left cervical ganglion for 4 minutes;
  • 5 procedure: exposure to the right cervical ganglion for 5 minutes, after 5 minutes after removal of this effect, the left cervical ganglion is exposed for 5 minutes (Scheme A);
  • From 6 to 9 procedures were carried out according to scheme A.

During each procedure, the radio-thermoscope of the medical PM-40 measured its own electromagnetic radiation of the brain in two symmetrical zones of the parietal regions of the left and right hemispheres before exposure to the cervical ganglia, during and after exposure to them. The values ​​of the matrix estimates of the correlation coefficients from the results of these measurements and the position of the amplitude regulators, duration, and frequency of the electric current pulses of the "Simpatokor-01" device when exposed to the cervical ganglia are shown in Table 4.

After the course of electrophysical treatment, headaches disappeared, an appetite appeared, sleep recovered without nightmarish dreams, general weakness disappeared.

Thus, the above-mentioned examples confirm the possibility of using the headache in the proposed electrophysical method for the regulation of the matrix value of the correlation coefficients of all parameters given in the distinctive part of the claims:

  • Change in the program for switching the partial elements of multichannel electrodes (in examples 1 and 2, the order of switching of the partial elements changed, as a result of which the direction of rotation of the field of electric current pulses changed),
  • Change in the zone of blocking the cervical ganglia (in all the examples given, this change corresponds to blocking or only the left or just the right cervical ganglion),
  • Number of pauses (in the examples given, the number of pauses varied depending on the number of procedures),
  • Duration of pauses ( example 3 ),
  • Total exposure (for example, in Example 3, the total exposure is determined by the sum of the time of exposure to the left and right cervical ganglia in the first and second courses of treatment)
  • Amplitude duration and frequency of electrical current pulses (varied in all examples).

The electrophysical method of treating headache in comparison with the analogue of the invention allows:

  • By the value of the matrix of correlation coefficients of the electromagnetic radiation of brain tissues, to objectively evaluate the course of the patient's medical process and, if necessary, adjust it by switching the cervical ganglion blocking zone, changing the program for switching partial elements of multielement electrodes, adjusting the amplitude of the frequency and duration of pulses, the number and duration of pauses and Total exposure exposure;
  • Significantly shorten the duration of the treatment process: for example, the treatment of migraine by the method of the invention does not on average exceed 7-10 days, and by the analogue technique - 2 months;
  • Treatment of headache with the proposed electrophysical method has a high efficiency, without the use of pharmacological agents.
