| Summary: | The purpose of this literature review is to analyze the evidence of the effectiveness of the use of electrotherapy in the treatment of epilepsy. In chronological order, the opinions of various leading scientists and doctors of antiquity, XVIII, XIX centuries, such as Avicenna, J Wesley, W Erb, etc., based on the results of their own work, are presented on the possibilities of using animal, static, galvanic current in the treatment of epilepsy. Particular attention is paid to the transcranial micropolarization method, which has been gaining popularity in recent decades, based on the effect of low-intensity direct current on the projections of selected cortical structures. The data of experimental and clinical studies conducted under the guidance of corresponding member GA Vartanyan, academician NP Bekhtereva, etc., as well as foreign authors, testifying to the effective use of micropolarization in the treatment of epilepsy are presented. Possible prospects for the development of the method for obtaining the greatest therapeutic effect are discussed. The result of such work may be the development of a method of bio-controlled micropolarization. |
