title: [Transcranial electric stimulation therapy in the treatment of neurocirculatory asthenia].
abstract: 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. Of these, 114 persons (group I) received pharmacotherapy and TES, 61 TES (group II), and 14 were on placebo. 83% of the group I patients and 80.3% of the group II patients manifested an appreciable improvement of the well-being which was supported by the data of its general estimation. 22 patients were examined for blood beta-endorphin. It has been shown that its concentration increased and returned to normal during TES.
