title: [Changes of hemodynamics during the treatment of patients with neurologic pain syndromes by the method of dynamic electrical neurostimulation].
abstract: The Doppler ultrasound technique was used to study blood flow characteristics for the evaluation of the efficacy of the treatment of painful neurological syndromes with the help of a DiaDENS apparatus allowing for dynamic changes of electrostimulation parameters. A significant improvement of the extracranial cerebral blood flow was achieved as early as the mid-course of 10 treatment sessions when the most pronounced stabilization of the clinical characteristics was apparent. Marked heterogeneity of responses of extracranial vessels to the therapeutic effect of dynamic electrostimulation (DENS) was documented, possibly due to the redistribution of the blood flow in certain vascular areas during the treatment. DENS applied to the lumbar region was shown to induce positive dynamics of the initially impaired blood flow in the tibial artery. It is concluded that positive hemodynamic changes in the cerebral blood flow constitute an important component of the anesthetic and general sanogenetic actions of DENS.
