Brain stimulating electrical impulse apparatus - has two sets of electrodes applied to cerebellum with alternating pulse bursts

摘要

The brain stimulating electrical impulse apparatus has at least one set of electrodes (10) applied directly to the cerebellum in a specific zone. Electrical impulses are generated of 0.5-2.5 ms. duration, 0.5-14.0 V amplitude and frequency of up to 300 impulses per second. These impulses are supplied to the electrodes. One set of electrodes are applied to the paleo-cerebellum region and a second set to the neo-cerebellum region. The impulses are applied in alternate bursts to the two sets with each burst having a duration of 1-30 minutes. The technique is used for treating specific disorders such as epilepsy, hypertonia etc. without restoring to massive doses of medication, or surgical treatment.
