[Clinical and experimental analysis of the use of the Analgedent electrostimulator for dental analgesia].
Clinical studies and animal experiments have demonstrated an antinociceptive effect of auricular electrostimulation (AE), 15 Hz, 300 microA, 25 min, on toothache. Perceptual and emotional vegetative components of the painful reaction were reduced by AE in 60 percent of patients and 64 percent of animals. Intravenous naloxone (0.2 mg/kg) abolished AE analgetic effect. The absence of AE analgetic effect in 40 percent of patients and 36 percent of animals can be explained by individual features of the endogenic opioid system functioning. Prospects of AE clinical application with various stimulation frequencies are discussed.
