[Physical therapy of hereditary neuropathies]

In a series of 118 patients with the Charcot-Marie-Tooth neural amyotrophy the authors evaluated a comparative therapeutic efficacy of electrophoresis of benzohexamethonium and a new method of physiotherapy, namely, administration of ganglioblockers with the help of sinusoidal modulated currents. The results of the treatment were assessed from the time course of clinico-electrophysiologic parameters. The most marked positive course of the clinico-electrophysiological parameters was observed following electrophoresis of benzohexamethonium by sinusoid modulated current.
