[The use of transcranial electrotherapy in the rehabilitation of osteoarthrosis patients].

Rehabilitation of 39 patients with osteoarthrosis deformans (OD) consisted of transcranial electrostimulation (TCES) which was performed by means of Transair unit generating impulse current (77 Hz, frontal-retroauricular electrodes position). There was a positive trend in clinical indices, pain intensity, skin temperature. TCES mechanism of action involves stimulation of endorphine brain structures which elevates blood levels of beta-endorphines.

[Transcranial electric stimulation therapy in the treatment of neurocirculatory asthenia].

Transcranial electric stimulation (TES), a combination of direct and pulse current totally up to 5 mA, rectangular impulses lasting 3-4 ms at a frequency of 75-80 Mz, via frontal and retromastoid electrodes was carried out for 30 minutes every other day. The treatment consisted of 7 to 10 sessions. Overall 189 patients suffering from vegetovascular dystonia were examined.
