Induction electrotherapy has a long history. With the development of electronic technology, more effective pulse currents are constantly being updated. Therefore, in recent years, simple induction electrotherapy has been less used, but the characteristics of induction electrostimulation are still retained in electrostimulation therapy.
The method of using large doses (based on the patient's tolerance) of induction electricity and intermittent direct current to treat the affected part or acupoints for a short period of time is called electrostimulation therapy. It uses a modified wire-wound buzzer induction direct current electrotherapy machine. Its induction current has the characteristics of uneven wave distance and uneven wave peaks. When it acts on the human body, it produces a strong stimulation, which makes the nerves and muscles highly excited, thereby regulating the function and achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.
1. Therapeutic effects
(1) Effect on neurasthenia - According to the views of Guo Sushu, the founder of this therapy, neurasthenia is caused by the imbalance of the two major processes of excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system. It is mainly due to the weakening of the excitation process and the inability to induce the normal inhibition process, which manifests as insomnia. Therefore, a large amount of electricity is used to stimulate the peripheral nerves, which can promote the cortical excitation process to a certain extent and then naturally transform into inhibition, causing natural sleep, so insomnia can be eliminated.
(2) Effect on cutaneous neuritis - Mr. Guo believes that inappropriate external factors (such as cold, dampness and excessive pressure) cause nerve function activities to be in a state of inhibition for a long time, which manifests as decreased skin sensation. Using a large dose of direct current negative electrode to give the peripheral nerves super-strong stimulation can release the nerves from the inhibition state in a short period of time and restore normal function.
(3) Effect on lumbar muscle strain - Due to the influence of local muscles being in a semi-contracted state for a long time due to external damage, cold, dampness, etc., muscle fatigue occurs and symptoms appear. The application of electrical stimulation can make the muscles completely contract in a short period of time, followed by sufficient muscle relaxation, thereby improving local blood and lymphatic circulation, absorbing pain-causing substances, and relieving pain.
(4) Effect on biliary ascariasis - Electrical stimulation can cause the Oedipus sphincter to contract strongly first and then relax, relieving spasms. At the same time, strong stimulation can cause the worms in the bile duct to retreat back to the intestines for easy excretion. (These conditions have been confirmed by barium meal gastrointestinal radiography)
2. Treatment methods
(1) Neurasthenia
1. Place two electrodes on the temples, pass weak induced electricity, then move the bipolar to the Yangbai point, and then to the Touwei point, for a total of half a minute of treatment, and repeat this 2-3 times.
2. Place two electrodes on the Fengchi point, pass strong induced electricity, so that the electric numbness reaches the top of the head, and slide the electrodes up and down to cause neck tremors, for a total of about 1 minute of treatment.
3. Place two electrodes on the middle cervical sympathetic ganglion, pass a moderate amount of induced electricity, for about 1 minute.
4. A small number of patients can be stimulated by intermittent direct current on the head (the anode is placed on the Yangbai point, and the cathode is placed on the Fengchi point) and the Neiguan and Waiguan points on the arms. Hypertensive patients should avoid using the head.
(2) Lateral femoral cutaneous neuritis
Use direct current of 60-80mA (short-circuit current), fix the anode 100cm on the inner thigh, and place the cathode as a circular electrode (3cm diameter) on the numb skin area, and slide it quickly and evenly 2-3 times. The time depends on the size of the skin sensation reduction area.
(3) Lumbar muscle strain
1. Place two electrodes on both sides of the lumbar muscles, and slide along the long axis and transverse axis of the muscle respectively through strong induced electricity, for a total of 4-6 minutes.
2. For those with obvious localized tenderness, place the anode at the pain point and the cathode at the sacrum, and pass direct current of 50-60mA for 2-3 seconds, 2-3 times in a row.
(4) Biliary ascariasis
1. Place one electrode under the xiphoid process and one electrode under the midclavicular line and the right costal margin, and stimulate intermittently with strong induced electricity for a total of about 2 minutes.
2. Place one electrode in the gallbladder area and one electrode in the gallbladder point on the back, and pass strong induced electricity for intermittent stimulation. About 2 minutes.
3. The negative electrode is placed in the gallbladder area, and the positive electrode is placed in the gallbladder point. The DC power is about 60mA, and the power is turned on for 2-3 seconds, three times in a row.
4. It takes about 4-5 minutes to complete all the above procedures. After the treatment, let the patient rest for 10-15 minutes. If the pain is not relieved immediately, the treatment can be repeated until the pain is relieved. After one week, give the patient anti-inflammatory and anthelmintic drugs.
5. This method must be diagnosed before treating biliary ascariasis. It should be used with caution for patients with acute bile duct, gallbladder inflammation or gastroduodenal diseases to avoid adverse consequences.
3. Points to note
Strong stimulation should not be used on the head of patients with carotid sinus, precordial area, and hypertension.
