Abstract

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: 1/f1/f^α spectrum variable electric noise current acts on biologically active acupuncture points, where f is frequency belonging to 0-20 kHz range, value of α is less than 10, value of current does not excess 50 mcA. Corporal points of acupuncture are under effect no longer than 20-60 seconds, and auricular points are under effect during 10-30 seconds. 8-12 treatments are prescribed for one course as usual. Doses of effect may be minimized due to reduction in current and time of effect. EFFECT: high therapeutic effect.

Description

 The invention relates to medicine and can be used to treat various diseases with reflexology methods.

There is a method of electroreflexotherapy (see F. G. Portnov, 1975), in which biologically active points (BAP) are affected as follows:
BAPs located under a massive layer of muscles are exposed to a current of up to 500 μA;
on the points of the back, lumbosacral, and legs 250 350 μA;
on BAP of the chest and abdomen 75 100 μA;
on the points of the hands and shoulder girdle 50 75 μA;
exposure time for 1 point up to two minutes. In this case, they are exposed to direct electric current of positive or negative polarity, or to alternating periodic current.

 The known method is not effective enough, because BAT quickly adapt to a periodic signal, as a result of which the treatment time increases, the simultaneous use of drug therapy is required.

 The prototype is a method of influencing the BAP (see ed. St. USSR N 884702, A 61 H 39/00, 1981), which consists in exposing the BAP to a signal of varying polarity with an amplitude of ± (30 50) μA, while the polarity of the electrical signal change in time according to the law of a pseudo-random sequence, and the pulse duration is set within 10 2000 ms.

The disadvantages of the prototype are the following:
factors affecting BAP can change, sometimes irreversibly, their properties (see D. M. Tabeeva. Guidelines for acupuncture. M. Medicine, 1982);
due to the nonphysiological nature of the energy characteristics of influencing factors, the method has significant limitations on its use (see Order of the Ministry of Health of the USSR N 106 from 20. 03. 59; D. M. Tabeeva Guidelines for acupuncture. M. Medicine. 1982, p.129).

 The objective of the invention is to minimize the dose of exposure (by reducing the current strength and exposure time) while maintaining the therapeutic effect.

This problem is solved in that the BAP is exposed to alternating electric noise signals with a spectrum of the form 1 / f ^α , where f is a frequency in the range up to 20 kHz and the value of α is less than 10, while the corporal acupuncture points are exposed during 20 60 s, and on an auricular 10 30 s, on a course of 8 12 sessions.

 Examples of specific implementation of the method.

 Example 1

 Patient Ch. 43 years old, was admitted to the hospital RMDC MH RT with complaints of pain in the epigastric region with radiation to the left half of the chest, associated with eating, intensifying at night. Complaints of bloating, nausea, irritability, sleep disturbance.

 For the first time, duodenal ulcer was discovered in 1984, then after 1.5 years there was again an exacerbation, followed by an annual exacerbation. He was repeatedly treated in hospitals with a long stay in them. This exacerbation of the disease is associated with physical overload and stress.

 Objective status upon admission: general condition satisfactory. A patient with a normosthenic physique, weight 61 kg, height 170 cm. The skin is clean, the pharynx is calm, the tongue is densely covered with white bloom, peripheral lymph nodes are not enlarged, vesicular breathing, rhythmic heart sounds are somewhat muffled. HELL 130/80 mm RT. Art. heart rate 78 beats / min. The abdomen is soft, slightly swollen, painful in the epigastric region and the left hypochondrium. Liver, spleen not enlarged. Stool, diuresis are not broken.

 Data from laboratory and instrumental studies and acupuncture diagnostics upon admission.

 1) FEGDS. Esophagus without features. In the stomach there is a picture of chronic gastritis. Above the angle of the stomach at lesser curvature closer to the posterior wall there is a ulcerative defect of 0.8 x 0.8 cm in size, the edges are elevated, dense. The gatekeeper is free to pass. The duodenal bulb and the post-bulbar department without features. A biopsy was performed.

 Conclusion: stomach ulcer.

2) General blood test: Нb 13.4 g / l; E _r 3.8 • 10 ¹² v / l; L 9.9 • 10 ⁹ in / l; ESR 3 mm / h; n 3 s 52 l 32 M 8 E 5
3) Cytology of the performed biopsy of the stomach: in the obtained material - leukocytes, lymphocytes, small clusters of glandular epithelial cells.

 4) Acupuncture diagnosis of the herald points revealed a painful point 12 XIV chjun-wan (the herald point of the stomach system).

 Based on the patient’s complaints, medical history, laboratory and instrumental studies, acupuncture diagnosis, the diagnosis was made: gastric ulcer in the acute stage.

 From 20. 09. 91 g. The patient was taken to a course of reflexology (RT). A noise signal is used by affecting acupuncture points. The treatment was started with a trial session by applying a noise signal to general strengthening distant points of 10 II show-san-right-left and 36 III tsu-san-right-left, taking into account the functional indications of TA 36 III tsu-san-li (dysfunction stomach, bursting pain in the abdomen and epigastric region, gastritis, duodenal ulcer and stomach, rumbling in the abdomen, vomiting, hiccups, decreased appetite, dyspepsia).

 At the next session, a stomach herald point 12 XIV Zhong-wan was added - according to acupuncture diagnosis, taking into account its functional significance (stomach pain, flatulence, belching, vomiting, dyspepsia, hiccups, nausea, gastroenteritis, gastroduodenitis, stomach ulcer, sleep disturbance, palpitations arterial hypertension). The action of corporal points was enhanced by the effect on the corresponding auricular points, starting from the second treatment session. For this purpose, AT 87 XIV (point of stomach) was used on the right and left.

 After 3 sessions of RT, the pain syndrome stopped, bloating decreased, sleep normalized.

 After the 9th session of the RT, all complaints of the patient presented at admission disappeared. On the control FEGDS, signs of a decrease in peptic ulcer (0.6 x 0.6 mm) were noted.

 After 15 sessions, the control FEDGS showed healing of a ulcerative defect in the form of a whitish scar.

In the general blood test, HB increased to 14 g / l, the number of red blood cells increased to 4.1 • 10 ¹² v / l, the number of leukocytes decreased from 9.9 • 10 ¹² v / l to 7.4 • 10 ⁹ , ESR 3 mm / h, n 3 s - 64 l 31 m 1 E 1
Thus, to obtain the effect in the proposed method for the treatment of gastric ulcer in the acute stage, the minimum number of acupuncture points was used based on acupuncture diagnosis by identifying painful herald points of systems. In this example, this point was 12 XIV zhun-wan, the herald of the stomach system. The action of the corporal point is enhanced by the effect on the auricular points of AT 87 XIV on the right and left. In addition, distant points of the general strengthening property of 10 II show-san-li, 36 III of zu-san-li were used, taking into account also the functional indications of the latter.

 In the proposed method for the treatment of gastric ulcer in the acute stage, only 4 points were used: three corporal (12 XIV chjun-wan, 10 II show-san-li, 36 III zu-san-li) and one auricular AT 87 XIV.

 The patient was discharged home in satisfactory condition. Complaints at discharge does not show. The skin, pharynx are clean. The tongue at the root is slightly covered with white coating. Vesicular breathing, heart sounds rhythmic satisfactory volume. HELL 120/80, pulse 74. The abdomen is soft, not swollen, painless on palpation. The herald point of the stomach system 12 XIV zhong-wan is painless. Stool, diuresis is normal. Sleep is not disturbed.

 Example 2

 Patient T., 52 years old, was admitted with complaints of pain in the upper abdomen for 4 days after exercise, nausea, vomiting mixed with bile. The pain intensifies on an empty stomach, decreases after eating, but there is a heaviness in the abdomen. The pain is burning in nature, gives in the right half of the lower back. Appetite saved. The chair 1 time per day is mushy.

 Operated for gastric ulcer (resection).

 The patient smokes, abuses alcohol. Objective status upon admission: general condition satisfactory. The skin is clean. Peripheral lymph nodes are not enlarged. The pharynx is calm, vesicular breathing, the heart is the 1st tone muffled by the 2nd, strengthened by the 2nd on the aorta, HELL 105/70, pulse 70. The tongue is covered with a white coating, moist. The abdomen is tense, swollen, painful on palpation. The liver is enlarged by 3 cm, painful. The spleen is not palpable. Soreness in the projection of the pancreas. The chair is mushy. Diuresis is normal.

Data from laboratory and instrumental studies and acupuncture diagnostics:
1) FEGDS. Esophagus without features. The stump of the stomach contains a small amount of whitish fluid. Gastroduodenoanastomosis is disclosed up to 3 cm. On the anastomosis on the lower wall, on the upper and rear walls, there are ulcerative defects measuring 0.3 x 0.3 cm, 0.8 x 0.8 cm, 0.5 x 0.5 cm.

2) General blood test: HB 14.2 g / l; E _r 4.6 • 10 ¹² v / l; L 7 • 10 ⁹ ; ESR 17 mm / h, n 2 s 62 l 31 m 1 E 4
3) Acupuncture diagnosis of herald points revealed painful points: 12 XIV chjun-wan, 4 ХUIV guan-yuan (herald point of the small intestine), 14 XII qi-men (herald-point of the liver).

 Based on the patient’s complaints, medical history, laboratory and instrumental data and acupuncture diagnostics, the diagnosis was made: peptic ulcer (multiple ulcers) of gastroduodenoanastomosis in the acute stage. Chronic pyelonephritis of the only right kidney.

 The following treatment was carried out in the hospital: table 1B, injections of phenicoberan, no-shpa, sea buckthorn oil inside, solcoseryl in injections.

 In the control FEGDS on the upper wall of the anastomosis and on the back wall there are ulcerative defects of 0.5 x 0.5 cm and 0.5 x 0.8 cm, respectively.

 After the basic drug therapy lasting 37 days due to lack of effectiveness (of the three existing ulcers in the anastomotic area, two remained), a RT was connected using a noise signal to acupuncture points.

 The treatment began with a trial session by exposing the general strengthening distant points of 10 II show-san-li to the right and left and 36 III of tsu-san-li to the right and left, also taking into account the functional readings of point 36 III tzu-san-li for this pathology.

 At the next session, herald points of the stomach, small intestine, and liver were added, respectively, XIV Zhong-Wan, XIV-4 Guan-Yuan and 14 XII Qi-Men.

 The action of corporal points was enhanced by exposure to the corresponding auricular acupuncture points, starting from the second session. For this purpose, AT 87 XIV (point of the stomach) was used from the right to the left, AT 88 XIV (point of the duodenum 12) to the right and left, and AT 97 XV (point of the liver).

 After 8 sessions of RT, control FEGDS showed a decrease in the depth and size of the only remaining ulcer of the posterior wall of the anastomosis to 0.4 x 0.4 cm.

 For family reasons, at the insistence of the patient, he was discharged from the hospital.

 The exposure time to the corpolar points was 20 60 s depending on the method of exposure, on the auricular points 10 30 s also depending on the method of exposure.

 The strength of the noise signal was used within 10 50 μA, depending on the method and location of exposure.

In this patient, the dispersion method (T ₂ option) was performed. The number of sessions depends on the size of the ulcer defect, the number of ulcer defects, and regeneration processes under the control of FEGDS. In this patient, scarring of one of the two ulcers under the influence of a noise signal occurred after 8 sessions, while the size and depth of the second ulcer decreased. In connection with the early discharge of the patient due to family circumstances, treatment with the RT method could not be completed, although there is a good therapeutic effect from the treatment.

 Thus, to obtain a therapeutic effect in this method of treating peptic ulcer (multiple ulcers) of gastroduodenoanastomosis in the acute stage, 8 antibodies were used, of which 5 corporal (10 II show-san-li, 36 III zu-san-li, 12 XIV chzhun- van, 4 XIV guan-yuan, 14 XII qi-men) and 3 auricular (АТ ХIV stomach АТ 97 ХV) liver, АТ 88 t 12 duodenal ulcer).

 The time of exposure to the corpuscular points by a noise signal was 60 s, and on the auricular ones 30 s. A noise signal was used with a low current strength of 10 to 50 μA, which is much lower than with conventional electric puncture.

 Example 3

 Patient L, 65 years old, was taken for treatment to the office of the Republic of Tajikistan with complaints of pain in the epigastric region, bloating, rumbling in the abdomen, tendency to constipation, heartburn, sleep disturbance.

 A history of chronic gastritis.

 Objective status of the patient: general condition is satisfactory. A patient with increased nutrition. The skin is clean. The vesicular breathing. Heart sounds are rhythmic, muffled. HELL 130/90, pulse 68 in 1 min. The abdomen is swollen, painful on palpation in the epigastric region. The chair is prone to constipation, diuresis is normal. Appetite saved, sleep disturbed.

 Data from laboratory and instrumental studies and acupuncture diagnostics.

 1) Rh-graphy of the gastrointestinal tract. Conclusion: duodenal ulcer.

2) General blood test: HB 16.0 g / l; E _r 3.8 • 10 ¹² v / l; ESR 10 mm / h.

 3) Acupuncture diagnosis of herald points revealed a painful point 4 XIV guan-yuan (herald-point of the small intestine).

 Based on the patient’s complaints, medical history, laboratory and instrumental studies, acupuncture diagnostics, the diagnosis was made: duodenal ulcer in the acute stage.

 The patient was taken for treatment by RT using a noise signal. The treatment was carried out on an outpatient basis.

 On the first day, a trial session was conducted with the impact on general strengthening distant points of 10 II show-san-li and 36 III zu-san-li, taking into account the functional characteristics of the latter.

On the second day, a small intestine herald point 4 XIV guan-yuan was added. The action of the corporal point was enhanced by exposure to the auricular AT 88 XIV point of the duodenum. The recipe for one session, starting from the 2nd session, was as follows:
10 II show-san-li right and left;
4 XIV guan-yuan (herald-point of the small intestine);
36 III tsu-san-li on the right and on the left;
AT 88 XIV t. 12 duodenum on the right and left.

 After 3 sessions, the pain syndrome stopped, after 8 sessions, bloating, rumbling disappeared, stool returned to normal. After 12 sessions, a control Rh-graph of the gastrointestinal tract was performed. Radiologist's conclusion: a peptic ulcer in the area of the duodenum healed.

 The patient completed the course of RT. There are no complaints. Recommendations are given.

 Treatment by the method of exposure to a noise signal at acupuncture points was carried out in 100 patients suffering from peptic ulcer of 30 people, 12 duodenal ulcer 60 people, gastroduodenoanastomosis 10 people.

 Duration of the course in patients: gastric ulcer amounted to 12 sessions, of which the first session was trial; peptic ulcer of the duodenum 12 sessions; gastroduodenoanastomosis 8 sessions.

 During the period of treatment with the RT method, exposure to BAT was accompanied by scarring of the ulcer in the stomach, gastroduodenoanastomosis, and duodenal ulcer, normalization of altered blood counts was normalized (elevated leukocyte counts normalized, decreased hemoglobin counts increased, and elevated ESR normalized).

 After 2 3 4 sessions of exposure to a noise signal, the pain syndrome expressed before treatment began was stopped.

 Then, at the 6-8 session, other complaints of the patients disappeared (bloating, rumbling, heartburn, nausea, sleep disturbance, lack of appetite). The general state of health, mood improved. There were no any side effects or complications when using a noise signal in patients with this pathology.

 In this way, 20 patients suffering from hypertension were treated.

 Example 4

 Patient D. 53 years old, was admitted for treatment with complaints of headaches, nausea, periodic pain in the heart, palpitations, anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbance, high blood pressure.

 From the anamnesis it is known that he suffers from hypertension for 8 years, repeatedly went to hospital, takes hypotensive drugs almost regularly. This exacerbation is associated with emotional overload at work.

 Objective status: general condition is satisfactory. The consciousness is clear, the position is active. Patient normosthenic physique. The skin is clean, the pharynx is calm, the tongue is moist. Peripheral lymph nodes are not enlarged. The chair is prone to constipation, diuresis is not broken.

3) General urine analysis, urinalysis according to Nechiporenko without pathologies.

 4) Acupuncture diagnosis of herald points revealed a painful point 14 XIV ju-tsue (herald-point of the heart system).

 A patient diagnosed with hypertension was taken on a course of RT. The treatment began with exposure to the points of the wonderful meridian VII 6 IX Nei-Guan, 4 IV Gun-Sun from right to left, taking into account the functional indications of this Meridian (pain in the heart, anxiety, palpitations).

 At the next session, a hearer of the heart system 14 XIV ju-tsue was added according to the acupuncture diagnosis and taking into account its functional significance (palpitations, functional disorders of the cardiac activity, anxiety, arterial hypertension). The action of corporal points was enhanced by the action on the corresponding auricular acupuncture points, starting from the second treatment session. For this purpose, AT 59 (antihypertensive point) was used on the right and left.

 After 3 sessions, the state of health improved, the anxiety state disappeared, pain in the heart area did not disturb, blood pressure decreased to 140 mm Hg. Art. From the 6th session to the end of the course, blood pressure was kept at 120/80 mm Hg. Art. all complaints of the patient disappeared. 10 sessions were conducted.

 Thus, to obtain the effect in the proposed method for the treatment of hypertension, the minimum amount of BAT was used. In this case, this point was the 14th XIV ju-tsuy herald-point of the heart system. The action of the corporal point is enhanced by the effect on the auricular point of AT 59 (antihypertensive point) from right to left. In addition, key points of VII, the wonderful meridian of 6 IX Nei-Guan and 4 IV Gun-Sun, were used, taking into account the functional indications.

 The patient was discharged in satisfactory condition. Complaints at discharge did not show. HELL 120/80 mm RT. Art. pulse 68 beats / min. Herald Point 14 XIV ju-tsue is painless.

2) General analysis of blood, urine without pathology.

3) Echo-cardiography without features;
4) Acupuncture diagnosis of herald points revealed a painful point 14 XIV ju-tsue (herald-point of the heart system).

 A patient with a diagnosis of hypertension was taken on a course of RT, because drug therapy carried out in a hospital did not give stable desired results. The treatment was carried out the same as in example 1 hypertension.

 The final blood pressure of 130/90 mm RT. Art.

 A similar therapy was carried out in 20 patients suffering from hypertension. The duration of the course was 10 sessions.

 During the treatment period by exposure to an electric noise signal, a reliable normalization of blood pressure indicators was noted (p <0.001); M ± m before treatment was 170 ± 10 mm Hg. Art. after treatment 125 ± 5 mm RT. Art.

In addition, other complaints disappeared, sleep disturbance, emotional lability, pain in the heart, palpitations, anxiety, etc. Clinical efficacy was 90
In patients with diseases of the nervous system, positive results were also obtained. Treatment with the proposed method was carried out in 15 patients suffering from lumbar ischalgic syndrome of vertebrogenic origin.
