If your child suffers from hyperactivity or speech impairment, and you are worried about headaches, neuroses or panic attacks, do not expect it to “go away on its own”: rush to the doctor. Surely in each of these cases the specialist will recommend undergoing a course of microcurrent treatment. Micropolarization of the brain is the treatment of mental and neurological disorders using microcurrents on certain areas of the brain. Depending on the disease, specialists stimulate the patient’s areas of inactivity or hyperactivity. The procedure serves as one of the triggers that increases the performance of the nervous system.

Transcranial micropolarization

Micropolarization of the brain and spinal cord is successfully used for various diseases associated with disorders or damage to the nervous system. For this procedure there are practically no restrictions regarding the age or gender of the patient. The method opens up a lot of possibilities for treating children. Micropolarization is effective for the consequences of neuroinfections of the brain, neuroses, enuresis, disorders of psycho-speech development. Thanks to the effects of ultra-low current, it is possible to significantly improve speech, and the correction process is significantly accelerated. Hearing functions in case of sensorineural hearing loss can also be easily restored. Micropolarization in pediatric practice in the treatment of mental and speech development delays (MSD) makes it possible to correct such common disorders as hyperactivity, aggression, impulsivity, attention deficit disorder, and learning problems in younger schoolchildren. The child’s memory improves, attention increases, fine motor skills develop, and thinking becomes more active. Regardless of the pathology that is corrected using this method, children usually improve their mood, they become much calmer, more receptive, and more balanced. In the treatment of the above syndromes transcranial micropolarization , that is, several small (area about 1 square centimeter) electrodes are applied to different areas of the head, depending on what effect we want to achieve.

Many questions arise regarding the use of micropolarization procedures in epilepsy. All known methods of electrical influence on the brain, in particular electroconvulsive therapy, magnetic stimulation, transcranial electrical stimulation and others, are strictly contraindicated for epilepsy. However, micropolarization has significant differences from the above methods. The fact is that here the effect occurs with a constant current of ultra-weak strength - less than 1 milliampere, which is comparable in strength to the human brain’s own electrical processes. That is, it does not have a direct dangerous stimulating effect. Simply put, micropolarization helps enhance the functioning of the brain’s own, so-called anti-epileptic system. This allows us to help young patients with cerebral palsy and cerebral palsy, in the presence of episyndrome or epiactivity on the EEG.

At the CORTEX MC, the micropolarization procedure is performed by a specially trained neurologist using a certified Polaris micropolarization device, developed at the Vozvraschenie Rehabilitation Institute, St. Petersburg (RF patent No. 2122443 dated 07/01/97).

The course usually includes 10 procedures. The duration of the procedure takes from 20 minutes (the first procedure) to half an hour. The process does not cause any discomfort and is absolutely painless. During the session, children can watch cartoons, play, draw, etc.

The method is absolutely safe and has no side effects. However, as with any treatment, there are a number of contraindications for the procedure. These include systemic blood diseases, the presence of malignant tumors, hypertension, colds and infectious diseases (especially those accompanied by high fever), skin damage in the affected area, as well as some other diseases.

At the CORTEX medical center, in the complex treatment of various forms of ZPRD, we combine micropolarization with speech therapy correction, sessions with a psychologist, audiovocal training using the A. Tamatis (Rulisen) method, as well as with segmental massage and the plantar support load simulator “Corvit”, used for neurophysiological regulation of the stato-kinetic function of the central nervous system in order to correct motor awkwardness and improve cerebellar function.

For the first time, highly effective treatment methods based on the combined use of transcranial micropolarization and biophysical activation of neuromotor structures . This combination contributes to better adaptation of the nervous system to the applied influences, as well as to the summation of the positive effects of both methods.

Micropolarization allows you to achieve positive changes after just a few procedures, but the maximum effect can be expected one and a half to three months after completion of the course. Considering the general condition and the results obtained, a second course of treatment is recommended after 3-6 months.

Who can benefit from transcranial micropolarization of the brain?

This procedure can be prescribed by a doctor either as independent therapy or in combination with other treatment methods. It will be useful for both children and adults.

For children

Transcranial micropolarization of the brain is prescribed for children with:

• developmental delay;
• enuresis. Restores organ functions;
• degenerative-dystrophic manifestations. Restores some motor functions, reduces the frequency of seizures;
• for hyperactivity and speech disorders. In this case, transcranial micropolarization for children improves their psycho-emotional state and memory, normalizes sleep, develops perseverance, attentiveness and speech.

For adults

Allows you to cope with the symptoms and causes of diseases such as:

• post-stroke manifestations. You can do without surgical intervention or reduce their number;
• post-traumatic consequences of traumatic brain injuries. Reduces hematomas, reduces the number of operations;
• neuroses;
• aphasia;
• neuroinfections and their consequences;
• headaches, migraines;
• general hearing loss;
• strabismus, loss of vision, independent of pathologies. Improves vision, teaches you to control eye movements;
• epilepsy. Helps correct the number of seizures, forms social and behavioral adaptation;
• depression, panic attacks. Improves the patient's psycho-emotional state.

Transcranial micropolarization (TCMP): how the session works

Before starting sessions, it is necessary to undergo an examination with mandatory encephalography and EEG to identify the dominant hemisphere of the brain for the correct placement of electrodes.

Micropolarization (TCMP) is prescribed to the patient based on his pathology. A helmet is placed on a person’s head, and electrodes with microcurrents are fixed to stimulate a certain area of ​​the brain. The duration of the session is 30-50 minutes. During this time, the patient can read a book or watch a movie.

Physically, the person either does not feel anything or feels a slight tingling sensation. The therapy not only does not cause pain, but also does not produce any side effects. This is an absolutely harmless method. Its use is possible with medicated sleep and artificial ventilation. To obtain positive changes, you need to undergo 10-15 sessions.

Treatment effectiveness and contraindications

The first sign of positive dynamics of treatment is a change in the patient’s encephalogram. A tangible and visible effect appears at the end of the course of therapy. The technique helps restore motor and mental functions, reduce the frequency and frequency of seizures, reduce affected areas and restore organ functionality.

Changes occur by connecting the hidden reserves of the brain. The body adjusts to proper functioning and heals itself. However, there are a number of contraindications.

Micropolarization in St. Petersburg: advantages of treatment in our clinic

In Russia, this type of therapy is not as widespread as abroad, due to the conservatism of the medical community. Micropolarization in St. Petersburg is carried out at the Dynasty clinic. Experienced specialists will advise, talk about the risks and select individual treatment.

Experts are studying which areas of the brain of small and adult patients are better developed, and which need additional stimulation to harmonize their work. For example, if a patient presents with speech impediments, a speech therapist and neurophysiologists will select an individual training system so that the parts of the brain responsible for speech work better.

Micropolarization. New possibilities for the treatment of cerebral palsy and mental retardation at the CORTEX MC

When it comes to treating children, most parents prefer to choose methods that, if possible, will not cause discomfort to their child, but at the same time will be effective. Many specialists in the field of pediatric neurology also prefer gentle non-pharmacological methods of influence. One of these treatment methods is micropolarization of the brain - this is a method that allows you to purposefully change the functional state of the entire nervous system through the impact of small current discharges (microcurrents) on the skull area; as a result, the technique has practically no contraindications and is safe. The small area of ​​the electrodes and their clear localization, depending on the pathology being treated by the doctor (various areas of the cerebral cortex or segments of the spinal cord), allows one to maintain a narrow focus on the brain and spinal cord, which makes the method highly effective.

As a result, brain functions improve: memory, vision, hearing, sleep normalizes, motor functions develop and improve, and speech skills improve.

Micropolarization is successfully used for a variety of diseases associated with disorders or damage to the nervous system. For this procedure there are practically no restrictions regarding the age or gender of the patient. It can be prescribed for the purpose of healing and stabilizing the nervous system, for rehabilitation after strokes, as well as in the treatment of the consequences of traumatic brain injuries, vascular diseases of the brain, disorders of visual and auditory function, neuroses, traumatic injuries to the brain or spine.

Correction in children

The method opens up a lot of possibilities for treating children. Micropolarization is effective for cerebral palsy , various degenerative-dystrophic processes, consequences of neuroinfections of the brain, neuroses, enuresis, disorders of psycho-speech development. Thanks to the effects of current, it is possible to significantly improve speech, and the correction process is significantly accelerated.

In our center, we combine micropolarization with speech therapy correction , segmental massage, physical therapy, anti-gravity therapy using the neuro-orthopedic rehabilitation pneumatic suit RPK "Atlant", a plantar support load simulator "Corvit", used for neurophysiological regulation of the stato-kinetic function of the central nervous system for the purpose of correction of motor awkwardness and improvement of cerebellar function. This is a unique development of the Center for Aerospace Medicine - the therapeutic effect of the Corvit device is based on the process of activation of supporting afferentation, which is responsible for normalizing the processes of excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system, which leads to a decrease in muscle spasticity, the development and consolidation of functional connections in the brain, promoting restoration of coordination of movements, and, indirectly, improvement of speech and thinking.

For the first time, highly effective treatment methods have been created at CORTEX MC, based on the combined use of transcranial and transvertebral micropolarization and biophysical activation of neuromotor structures.

ANOTHER INNOVATION – MICROPOLARIZATION

The development of science in the field of medicine today occurs at an extremely fast pace, but it keeps pace with the times and is actively introducing advanced technologies into practice. One of them is brain micropolarization. Currently, Avicenna remains the only medical center for children that provides the micropolarization method in the compulsory medical insurance system. Neurologist Irina Aleksandrovna Voloshkina and neurophysiologist Larisa Valerievna Lysenko talk about what this technology is.

Irina Aleksandrovna, what is the meaning of micropolarization?

Micropolarization is a targeted effect on brain cells through a small direct current. Microcurrents stimulate the affected structures of the central nervous system, reaching even deep peripheral areas that are inaccessible to other treatment methods.

What types of micropolarization are there?

There are two types of micropolarization: transcranial and transvertebral. The difference lies in the location of the electrodes, which in the first case are applied to the area of ​​the head or a specific lobe of the brain for local impact, and in the second, stimulation of spinal cord neurons is used.

How is the micropolarization procedure performed?

When micropolarizing the brain, a special helmet-cap with electrodes located on it is placed on the child’s head. The method involves local impact on certain areas of the brain, due to which electrodes can be attached where pulse stimulation is needed. During the procedure itself, the child can actively go about his business (communicate, read a book, play, watch cartoons). The session lasts about half an hour. To achieve a good therapy effect, several procedures are necessary.

Dmitry Anatolyevich, how do you understand how many procedures a child needs?

Their number, duration of sessions, and places where electrodes are applied are determined by a neurologist after conducting a full comprehensive examination. The list of necessary studies, which, if indicated, will be prescribed by a medical doctor before the procedure, may include electroencephalography, electromyography, evoked brainstem potentials, Dopplerography of the vessels of the head and neck.

In what cases can a neurologist recommend taking a course of brain micropolarization?

Among the main children's problems that this technique can cope with are delayed mental and psycho-speech development, motor and partially sensory alalia, speech disorders, hyperactivity syndrome, attention deficit disorder, and increased impulsivity. Patients also include children with traumatic brain injuries, vascular diseases (vegetative dystonia syndrome), consequences of neuroinfections of the brain, visual and auditory dysfunctions (nystagmus, strabismus, sensorineural hearing loss) and many types of neurological disorders: fears, aggressiveness, tics, psychogenic enuresis.

Is electric current dangerous for the baby?

The current strength is so low that it is not capable of harming a growing organism. However, the pulse power is sufficient to stimulate sensitive brain cells. In general, the method is well tolerated by children. The procedure is painless, has no side effects and no complications. The effect on the central nervous system is carried out without drugs.

What can parents expect when bringing their child to micropolarization sessions?

As a result of the treatment, the cognitive functions of the brain improve (attention, memory, thinking), motor development accelerates, speech understanding and pronunciation clarity are established, the active vocabulary expands, children begin to speak and switch to phrases and sentences. Boys and girls develop an interest in the world around them, a desire to communicate and learn, a decrease in aggressiveness, and disappearance of fears. In capricious children, hysterical manifestations are eliminated. The course also helps normalize muscle tone and sleep, and eliminate headaches.

How long does the effect last?

The effectiveness is maintained over a fairly long period of time, the maximum result is visible 30-60 days after the full course. Micropolarization is often carried out in combination with other types of rehabilitation treatment: massage, exercise therapy, manual therapy, classes with a speech therapist. At the same time, the effectiveness of these techniques increases significantly and the healing process is accelerated.

Attention! If you have a referral to a neurologist from a local clinic, treatment is provided free of charge under your compulsory health insurance policy. At the request of parents, their child can take a brain micropolarization course for a fee; a referral is not required.

Dear parents!

To receive a course of transcranial micropolarization, a preliminary study is required - an EEG with functional tests and transcranial NSG (no more than 3 months old), based on the results of which the neurologist determines the indications/contraindications for prescribing this type of rehabilitation treatment and the points for applying the electrodes. Thus, to receive a transcranial micropolarization course you must:

1. on a paid basis - sequentially: do an EEG, transcranial NSG (or bring the result of a study no more than 3 months old), consult a neurologist, sign up for micropolarization.
