Abstract

Rehabilitation of 39 patients with osteoarthrosis deformans (OD) consisted of transcranial electrostimulation (TCES) which was performed by means of Transair unit generating impulse current (77 Hz, frontal-retroauricular electrodes position). There was a positive trend in clinical indices, pain intensity, skin temperature. TCES mechanism of action involves stimulation of endorphine brain structures which elevates blood levels of beta-endorphines.
