Non-pharmacological correction of impaired microcirculation in children with diabetic polyneuropathy.
A total of 25 boys and 20 girls aged 5-17 years with type I diabetes mellitus and disease durations of 2-10 years were studied. All had diabetic polyneuropathy. The microcirculation was studied by laser Doppler flowmetry. Treatment consisted of using a running impulse magnetic field. This method was found to be effective in diabetic polyneuropathy with the running field along the limb towards the periphery at a run velocity (field modulation frequency) being a multiple of the nerve fiber spike conduction velocity.
