title: [Application of ENMG-controlled electrostimulation of peripheral nerves in the treatment of compression radiculopathies].
abstract: A clinical experiment on a group of 22 patients, aged 45,4+/-6,2 years, with compression radiculopathies L(5)-S(1) has proved the possibility of optimized therapeutic electrostimulation of peripheral nerves under the control of F-waves on ENMG. Parameters of electrostimulation were specified as follows: rectangular impulses of positive polarity and duration of 500-1000 ms, frequency 1-10 Hz and submaximal intensity of current. The positive effect of electrostimulation on the conductivity of nerve fibers and excitability of spinal motor neurons was found.
