The effects of transcranial micropolarization on the severity of convulsive fits in children.

A total of 18 children with cerebral palsy and organic brain lesions underwent sessions of transcranial micropolarization with the aim of decreasing the frequency of convulsive fits. Transcranial micropolarization of the posterior temporal and parietal areas of the cerebral cortex was found to provide a marked decrease in the frequency of convulsive fits and to normalize the EEG pattern. This effect was due to the targeted effects of direct currents passed through the respective morphofunctional connections of cortical zones to the structures responsible for forming and controlling the convulsive activity of the brain.

[The influence of transcranial micropolarization on convulsive manifestations in children].

Eighteen patients with infantile cerebral paralysis and organic brain damage underwent to therapeutical sessions of transcranial micropolarization directed to decrease the incidence of convulsive fits. Transcranial micropolarization of the posterior temporal and parietal areas caused a marked decrease in the incidence of convulsive fits and made the electroencephalographic pattern normal. This effect was caused by the target exposure of the structures responsible for the formation and regulation of brain convulsive activity to constant current through the respective morphofunctional linkages of the cortical areas.
