Fifteen-cycle cranial electrotherapy stimulation for spasticity

Severe post-anoxic spasticity in a 25-year-old female was significantly improved during an open trial of 15 cycle per second CES. The bipolar LISS device with suboccipital electrode placement was used for 40 minutes three times a day. A synergism appeared when dantrolene 50 mg twice a day was combined with the CES, these additive effects being greater than either modality used alone.
