[Treatment of infantile cerebral paralysis using transcraniovertebral microelectric stimulation].

A new method of therapy of children with cerebral palsy (CP) has been elaborated. Transitory consequent action of weak bipolar low-frequency current (30-100 mcA, 2-10 Hz) on different levels of motor activity regulation (brain and spinal cord, effectory organs) resulted in a stable correction of both motor and other types of disorders in CP patients. Therapeutic course included 2-8 procedures, 1-2 weekly, their duration 3-5 minutes.
