[Potentiation insulin coma therapy by regional and lateral electric stimulation].
Clinicopsychopathological and clinicostatistical methods were employed to explore reverse dynamics of psychopathological symptomatology in the course of insulin coma therapy of 200 schizophrenic patients. 90 patients received insulin coma therapy in combination with zonal and lateral stimulations by means of subsensory pulse current at a frequency of 1 to 30 Hz. Right hemispheral exposure potentiated antipsychotic action of insulin comas. After left hemispheral exposure insulin comas provoked temporary exacerbation of symptomatology. The new modification was called lateral potentiated insulin coma therapy. The use of the therapy made it possible to attain a more rapid reverse development of psychotic symptomatology, to reduce the number of comas required per treatment course, to raise the quality and duration of the remissions attained.
