[The use of interference currents with patients in the late recovery period after an ischemic stroke and with patients with cervical osteochondrosis and a pain syndrome].
The authors' experience in the use of interference currents (IC) in postapoplectic (PA) and cervical osteochondrosis (CO) patients led them to the following conclusions: a course of IC treatment (dynamic field) brings the response in 62-70% of PA patients, but a complete response is not reached because of the disease severity; in CO patients the response is achieved in 86% of patients; a single IC procedure entails a significant reduction in heart rate; IC course in CO patients increases blood filling of brachial vessels and decreases vascular tone on the affected side; IC course in PA patients significantly increases blood filling and reduces vascular tone in the vessels on both affected and unaffected sides; single and course IC improves hemodynamics in the external carotid arteries and normalizes venous outflow in the region of vertebral and external carotid arteries in 1/3 of PA patients; in CA patients cerebral circulation improves in 90%. In the above diseases optimal parameters are thought to be: frequency change per second 40-60 Hz within 7 minutes and 100-120-100-40-60-40 Hz during 7 minutes.
