Electro - therapy is a method of treating the human central nervous system with a pulsed current of low frequency (1-150 Hz), low power (up to 10 mA) and voltage up to 80 V.
Content
Mechanism of Action
Impulse currents penetrate the cranial cavity through the orbits of the eye sockets , they cause a decrease in ascending activating effects on the cerebral cortex and increase internal inhibition . They also activate serotonergic neurons of the dorsal suture. Serotonin leads to a decrease in conditioned activity and emotional activity. The patient has a state of slumber or sleep.
Benefits Compared to Drug-induced Sleep
Blood circulation improves, minute volume of breath increases. Electrosleep stimulates redox processes, reduces pain sensitivity, and is not addictive. In addition, it does not cause a decrease in memory and intelligence .
