[Non pharmacotherapeutic correction of cerebral disturbances in children with diabetes mellitus type I].

A study of psychoemotional, autonomous and cognitive parameters revealed disturbances of the functional state of the central and autonomous nervous system in 75% of children with diabetes mellitus type I. The application of transcranial methods (transcranial electrostimulation (TES) and transcranial magnetic therapy (TcMT) demonstrated the high effectiveness in relation to the cerebral disturbances. The significant improvement was noted in 71.7% of children. The best clinical effect was achieved for the combination of TES and TcMT with primary effect of TcMT on the autonomous status and TES--on the psychoemotional status of patients. The combination of TES and TcMT stopped autonomous paroxysms in 70% of children, arrested phobic disorders in 60% and signs of depression in 60%. Positive changes in behavior and the increase of progress in studies were seen in 50% of patients. The improvement of EEG parameters, including the decrease of tau- and beta(1)-rhythms in frontal areas, the increase of alpha-rhythm activity, was found in 67.5% of cases. These findings suggest the increase of reserve potential of the central nervous system and the balance of excitement and inhibition processes in the cerebral cortex.
