  • Title: [Electrostimulation and stimulation electromyography in the complex treatment of facial neuritis with rheographic control].
    Author: Ishchuk AI.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1977; 77(8):1139-42. PubMed ID: 302542.
    Abstract:
    The author treated 60 patients with facial nerve neuritis with the aid of a "Bion" apparatus. For control over the changes seen due to the use of electrostimulation, stimulational EMG was used with the registration of a rheogram of the mimical muscles. During the study the following data were obtained: a shortening of the latent period of the facial nerve in an electrostimulation was an objective criterion, permitting to control the restitution of the damaged neuro-muscular face structures. Under the effect of treatment there was also an improvement in the biolectrical activity of the superciliary muscle and an increase in the amplitude of the rheographical wave. In most cases (53 patients) there was a recovery, in 6--a significant improvement. In 1 case the state was not altered.
