[Nonlinear EEG analysis in prognosis of pharmacoresistant therapy and evaluation of using millimeter (MM) therapy in its treatment].
A comparative study of neurophysiologic characteristics of 84 patients with symptomatic posttraumatic localized epilepsy with secondary-generalized seizures and a comparative evaluation of efficacy of basic antiepileptic drug therapy combined with millimeter (MM) therapy have been conducted. A high efficacy of low-intensity MM-waves in combination with basic antiepileptic therapy has been found. Frequency of seizures significantly decreased along with the normalization of bioelectric activity of the brain cortex. The combined use of MM-waves and basic antiepileptic therapy allows to increase antiepileptic activity of medications and to reduce side-effects that suggests the use of this approach in case of individual intolerance of antiepileptic drugs.
