[The influence of transcranial micropolarization on convulsive manifestations in children]

Area of Science:

• Neurology
• Neurophysiology
• Medical Devices

Background:

• Infantile cerebral paralysis and organic brain damage often present with debilitating convulsive fits.
• Current treatments for seizures in these conditions may have limitations or side effects.

Observation:

• Eighteen patients with infantile cerebral paralysis and organic brain damage received transcranial micropolarization therapy.
• The treatment targeted posterior temporal and parietal brain areas.

Findings:

• Transcranial micropolarization led to a significant decrease in the incidence of convulsive fits.
• Electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns normalized following the therapeutic sessions.
• The constant current stimulation targeted specific cortical areas involved in seizure generation and regulation.

Implications:

• Transcranial micropolarization shows promise as an effective, non-invasive treatment for seizures in pediatric neurological disorders.
• This method may offer a targeted approach to modulating brain activity and improving neurological function.
• Further research could explore long-term efficacy and broader applications in brain injury rehabilitation.
