Non-invasive Multichannel Electrostimulation of Neck Nerve Structures for the Treatment of Patients with Anxiety Disorders

摘要

The efficiency of non-invasive multichannel neuro-electrostimulation device ('SYMPATHOCOR-01') for treatment of anxiety disorders against the standard antidepressant medication is presented in article. Forty patients from psychiatric clinic with diagnosed 'panic disorder' were treated and followed-up during six weeks. The Hamilton (HAM-A) and Sheehan (SPRAS) anxiety scales were used to determine changes in state of patients. Electrostimulation has helped patients quickly overcome symptoms of anxiety and better control panic attacks. There was a significant difference in the final psychometric assessment of anxiety among groups on the Hamilton (HAM-A) and Sheehan (SPRAS) scales almost twice.
