Short pulse electroanalgesia (analog of the name of the method - percutaneous electroneurostimulation - CHENS) is a method of local exposure to impulse electric current of the relevant parameters through electrodes and wet hydrophilic pads (or using an electrically conductive gel), which are applied to specific areas of the skin of the patient's body.
Operating mode: current 5-10 mA; repetition frequency! Pulses of 40-400 Hz; the pulse duration is 20-500 μs, the pulse shape is rectangular or triangular.
Operating mode: current strength 15-30 mA; pulse repetition rate 2-12 Hz; the pulse duration is 20-500 μs; the shape of the pulses is rectangular or triangular.
Form of currents: monophase (single polarity, rectangular or triangular), two-phase symmetrical (rectangular or triangular shape, with identical positive and negative phases), two-phase asymmetric (rectangular, negative phase exponentially positive).
The effect of the factor is similar to the method of diadynamic therapy, but with a lesser degree of manifestation of clinical manifestations due to a lower voltage of electric current.
The main clinical effects: anesthetic, local vasoactive, local trophic.
Equipment: EPB-60-01, Delta-101, Delta-102, Neuron, Impulse, Eliman-01, Electronics ChENS-2M, Prolog-2, Prologue-3 "," SCENAR ", devices of the" DENAS "series, etc.
