EEG in the diagnosis of migraine

Yurieva, Yu.
Smolensk regional clinical hospital


Traditional electroencephalography is used in the comprehensive study of pathophysiologic component of migraine with the aim of better understanding mechanisms of the disease. In particular, by using positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance spectroscopy, computer, research methods visual evoked potentials, studied the process of spreading oligemia, the phenomenon of depression Leo. It is shown that in migraine a common component of neural changes is neuronal hyperexcitability, which may predispose to spontaneous neuronal depolarization.
Migraine EEG changes are nonspecific. As a rule, changes in the bioelectric activity of the missing or worn edge with a normal character. The EEG is recorded disorganizedly alpha rhythm, a large number of rapid waves, sharpened and slow fluctuations, but their number and amplitude are stored within the boundaries of the normal variant.
Sometimes, however, in migraine the EEG can be recorded epileptiform activity. If in such patients, the migraine occurs with a visual aura, there is a need to differentiate this condition with epilepsy with occipital paroxysms: a case of migraine epileptiform elements are recorded more diffuse, whereas in epilepsy in the occipital leads.
Because migraine occurs paroxysmal, as in a number of paroxysmal disorders (epilepsy, panic attacks, paroxysmal dystonia, etc.) on the EEG may reveal signs of "paroxysmal brain" (Wayne, 1999): the increase in the total spectral power of the brain, the increase of the power spectrum of theta activity with the dominance of the theta rhythm in the right hemisphere and the presence of generalized paroxysmal bilateral high-amplitude oscillations in the theta range.
In addition to the above changes, the EEG during migraine may be logged to local or bilateral, often asymmetrical, slowing of bioelectrical activity in - and - bands.
In recent years, increased the use of quantitative methods for the processing of EEG data. So, with the help of spectral analysis of the rhythms in the interictal period in patients with migraine was established hemispheric asymmetry of alpha rhythm, diffuse or focal slowing of electrical activity and increase fast activity. The average dominant frequency of the alpha range calculated for the rear lead was significantly less than that on the side of the head pain; in the time of the attack observed increase in interhemispheric asymmetry.
It should be noted that EEG changes correlate with the staging of the disease: the detected frequency dispersion and frequency asymmetry of the alpha rhythm significantly increase until the appearance of prodromal symptoms and keep following the headache phase; the nature of the records coming to the source only after an average of 10 days after the attack. Thus, the characteristic dynamic pattern of changes of alpha rhythm in migraine.
When you run the samples with visual stimulation in cases of migraine, especially migraine with aura, often recorded photoparoxysmal reaction (FPR) - the emergence of irregular complexes of spike-wave in response to rhythmic photic stimulation. FPR is not mandatory, as, for example, when patogenos epilepsy. However, the DPF is often associated with migraine, and other paroxysmal conditions. Most likely, FPR reflects the susceptibility of the brain to the development of the paroxysm.
Modern methods of EEG, in particular, spectral analysis allows to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic methods for migraine, for example, audio-visual stimulation. So, Ivanov L. B. et al.(2000) found that the source of the EEG before the session AVS spectral analysis often shows double-modal peak power of the alpha rhythm. With the beginning of the AVS for 2-3 minutes leveled the polymodality of the basic rhythm; and to the 20 minutes peak of the alpha rhythm
the spectrogram varies considerably: in 2 times increases the power of the alpha oscillations, polymodality completely disappears.
5 minutes after the session is recorded one peak of the alpha rhythm in the range of 11-12 Hz. Parallel to the changes of the EEG changes and the health of the patient: headache is almost gone.

These results illustrate the fact that the minimum tendencies in changes of bioelectric activity of the brain may identify with a mathematical spectral analysis of the EEG.
To carry out a study on the status of the spatial-temporal organization of electrical activity allows the use of the methodology of coherence. It is shown that with migraines in the range of the dominant rhythm with short distances (derivations Fp1 - F3; Fp2 - F4; F3 - C3; F4 - C4; C3 - P3; C4 - P4; P3 - O1; P4 - O2; F4 - P4; C4 - T4; T4 - P4; F3 - T3; T3 - C3; T3 - P3) integration processes in the different pairs have different intensity and range widely (from 0 to 0.9). Normally, when short of cortico-cortical connections, the values of coherence are rarely lower than 0.4 (usually from 0.5 to 0.8). At medium distances (Fp2 - C4; C4 - O2; Fp1 - C3; C3 - O1; Fp2 - T4; T4 - O2; Fp1 - T3; T3 - O1), the coherence of the dominant frequency has a low level of integration (from 0 to 0.4 at normal values of 0.2 - 0.5). In long of hemispheric pairs (F3 - F4; T3 - T4; C3
- C4; P3 - P4; T5 - T6, O1 - O2) shall be recorded bi-directional integration processes in different areas (from 0.9 to 0.1; in norm 0,2 - 0). Wide variations in coherence in migraine - evidence of dezintegratsii bioelectrical activity.
Thus, longitudinal studies of EEG with the use of new techniques are promising for the study of the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of migraine.

Sandomirsky M. E. audio-visual stimulation in group psychotherapy

Medical science 2003: proceedings of respubl.
Conference of young scientists of the Republic of Bashkortostan.
- Ufa: Bash. State.med. University, 2003. - 111 S.

One of the promising directions of modern psychotherapy is physiologically-oriented approach using the techniques of psychotherapy as audio-visual stimulation or AVS (Sandomirsky M. E., 2001; Serikov, A. L., 1998; semke V. Y. et al., 1996; Siever D., 1999; Budzynski, T., 1991) and biological feedback or biofeedback (E. M. Sokhadze et al., 1988).
A limitation of these methods is that they are predominantly used in the course of individual psychotherapeutic sessions. Accordingly, the objectives of developing the methodology are: a) combining techniques of biofeedback and AVS to improve the effectiveness of psychocorrective impact; b) applying these techniques to group psychotherapy. This approach, which mimics the underlying nonverbal communication is the process of resonance with other people (T. Cooper), or vegetative resonance (V. Raich), allows to achieve the synchronization of mental States patients (Berezina T. N., 1998). Synchronization internal, physiological thereby combined with the external psychological (interindividual, group). This, in turn, provides synchronization behavior, which is a necessary condition of therapy (Aher D., 2000), as well as synchronizing the States of consciousness conducive to psychotherapeutic induction of altered States of consciousness, which is the main instrument of psycho-physiological therapy (Sandomirsky M. E., 2002). Physiological basis of the latter is the dynamic reorganization of functional asymmetry of hemispheres of the brain, associated with physiological regression in age aspect (Sandomirsky M. E., belogorodskaya L. S., 1998), so the evolutionary-psychological (Sandomirsky M. E., 2001).
Separately it is necessary to refer to the use of this technique when working with an organized contingent, for example, the personnel of the enterprises. In addition to enhancing stress resistance and increasing group cohesion, the use of the method facilitates adaptive personality-typological characteristics of patients. In particular, in our work with R. M. Smirnova (2003) shows that important psychological characteristics that ensure the effectiveness of the entrepreneur is the balance of extroversion (conversion of personality to the outside world, making decisions with a focus on the opinions of others) and introversion (depth in their own inner world, decision-making, relying mainly on their own opinion). If entrepreneurs, which surveyed top managers of commercial firms, are characterized in comparison with ordinary employees of those same firms relatively more introversion, among entrepreneurs most effective are those that have a relatively high degree of extroversion. This balance is achieved in the deep psychobiological level of organization of the personality and is also associated with a balance of functional asymmetry of hemispheres of the brain, adaptive regulation which is the basic mechanism described technique of psychotherapy.<

Audiovisual therapy.

In the book: M. Sandomirsky. How to cope with stress. M.: 1995

Despite seeming outwardly simple man (think - two arms, two legs, one head...), has still not invented anything better and there is nothing harder than the human brain. Don't be fooled by the external, the apparent simplicity of the described exercise - because to perform them You use the brain, that perfect machine, many orders of magnitude greater complexity and perfection of creation modern technology. And yet in fairness it should be mentioned that the trend of technical progress is inevitable and touched a specific area, like the removal and prevention of stress, negative emotions. To help the suffering science has created a number of devices (in the modern world they are used since the early 80-ies). They are based on the effects on the brain electrical impulses of a certain frequency (electrotransservice, transcerebral electroneurostimulation, it is also Central electroneurostimulation) or rhythmic light and sound that is officially called audiovisual stimulation, And With (devices Voyager, Minds Eye, Dreamer, Theta+, and others). The effect is explained by their effect on the body's external stimulus in the rhythm associated with the natural frequencies of the brain, in rhythm, come into resonance with his own biological rhythms (Remember our model of the body as the pyramids pendulums?) When such methods are applicable? Take, for example, a method Central electroneurostimulation (there is in mind effects on the Central nervous structures, the brain)...
Among the indications:
- relieve stress and increase stress resistance;
- the removal of fatigue;
- normalization of sleep;
- elimination of disturbances of cerebral vascular tone;
- reducing meteosensitivity;
- normalization of well-being when hormonal changes in women (menstruation, menopause).
Even invisible, the subliminal impact of the Central results when applied current is very low power, almost not felt by the patient, has a positive protivocesterne effect, increasing the body's ability to resist stress (reaction training or adaptation according to harkavy the Ukolova-Quaking). Interestingly, along with the stress with psycho-emotional stress like electro effects... relieves hangover. Moreover, the pattern is here deeper than it may seem at first glance. Electric pulses of a certain frequency "swing" is very important internal cerebral pendulum, which triggers secretion of endogenous morphine-like substances in the body - endorphins. The same effect can give and AVS. But if the methods of electro - stimulation uses a small number of rigidly fixed frequencies of therapeutic effects, And In more subtle and complex method that uses a wider frequency range, more flexible in modeling the brain, using well-known physiological phenomenon of assimilation of rhythm. And when the brain learns the frequency of the external rhythm begins to repeat, to adjust her own activity, then gradually the brain goes into a functional condition for which a similar frequency mode characteristic. Give at least a brief, incomplete list achieved in AVS modes - different functional States of the brain:
- sleep (useful mode for insomnia, especially in the frequent trips);
- - peace, relaxation, rest;
- meditation;
- - intensification, concentration, enhance mental performance, mobilization of reserves of the brain;
- to stimulate memory, accelerated learning (Learning Twighlight) - and, without false modesty, the developers of the instruments for ABC, the increase in "creativity"...

According to T. Budzinski (USA), ABC is used in medicine,in particular,
- to relieve migraines and headaches of other origin;
- to reduce other pain syndromes.
- to stimulate immunity;
- to reduce symptoms of depression
- Note buyers who are interested in the medical aspects of this problem: "not our" medicine criteria for depression wider. "They" it's simple: if a person during two weeks of steadfastly low mood - it's time to see a doctor.
- While ABC, in an apparent outward simplicity, has a profound effect on the body, in particular, as shown by the experiences of the Americans, leading to higher content in the cerebrospinal fluid of a number of biologically active substances such as serotonin, endorphins. Neurophysiological science and its practical application - development of methods and devices for relieving stress, relaxation, activation and use of reserve capacity of the brain is not standing still. On the agenda - the creation of more sophisticated technical tools to deal with stress, complex computer systems from the so-called "imaginary reality".<

audio-visual Stimulation in treatment of pain syndrome of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer.

O. V. Filatova, S. S. Pavlenko, A. I. Fingers (Novosibirsk)

It is known that pain is a leading pathogenetic link in the development of neurogenic tissue degeneration in the gastroduodenal area in gastric ulcer (pus) and peptic ulcer disease duodenal ulcer (DU).
Audio-visual stimulation (AVS) is a method, wherein the ability to interrupt or reduce the flow of nociceptive efferent impulses, owing to the suppression of the centers of excitation in the Central nervous system and stimulating the synthesis of endorphins.
The objective of this study is the influence of AVS on the course of pus and PUD. A method of monitoring the condition of patients was selected traditional paraclinical investigation and evaluation of pain by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of 100 points. Additionally tested on the state trait anxiety test (spielberger).
For the ABC used machine Vojager-XL firm Thetha Thecnologist (USA), program Relax A-4 Customized Muscular Relaxation, Relax B-2 Comfort Thodh Calmness, the Number of ongoing sessions depended on the regression of pain syndrome ranged from 6 to 14. AVS combined with medicamental therapy and physiotherapy.
As a result of treatment in a group of 22 patients with pus and PUD in age from 17 to 56 years of pain on YOUR decreased an average of 58 to 14 points. 5 in 68% of patients in the control gastrofibroscopy marked complete scarring ulcers. Patients disappeared irritability, irritability, normalized sleep, decreased autonomic dysfunction In the control group of patients with similar quantitative and age structure and received only the traditional medical and physiotherapy, pain in "YOUR" on average decreased from 58 to 23 points, complete cicatrization of the ulcer was observed only in 35.4 % of patients. The level of trait anxiety significantly decreased in patients, combining treatment with AVS. Thus, the obtained solid data on the positive impact of the method on AVS for the ABJ and DU<

The aim of the study was to develop a differentiated treatment of patients with chronic ischemia of the brain depending on the leading pathophysiological and pathomorphological changes. Developed the complex of diagnostic methods: a study of lipid metabolism and blood rheology; ULTRASONIC research of extra-and intracranial vessels, determining their reactivity and determination of endothelium-dependent vasodilation; EEG study; determination of the functional state of the corticospinal tract; the study of the immune status. By reducing endothelium-dependent vasodilation, a high tone of the arteries, compensated type cerebral hemodynamics, DigitalMedia, violation of blood rheology were cryoplasmasorbtion effectively impact on vestibulotoxicity and cephalgic syndrome. To create additional flow afferentation used audio-visual stimulation. While reducing the amplitude of the alpha rhythm were appointed energizing program, with the dominance of low-amplitude beta rhythm - relaxing program. As a result, ostanavlivalas zonal distribution of the alpha rhythm and reduced slow Delta and theta activity was stopped cephalgic, distonicescie and neurosis-like syndromes. For efferent stimulation of the functional structures of the brain were used transcranial magnetic stimulation (patent N 2157265 from 10.10.2000 g), which contributed to the restoration of disturbed motor functions, increase muscle strength, reduce spasticity of the extremities, while the Central motor conduction time of on the side of paresis was significantly decreased. In patients with impaired differentiation and functional activity of T-lymphocytes was carried out electromagnetic stimulation of the thymus gland. Thus the increased functional activity of T-lymphocytes increased the number of natural killer, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and Mature T-lymphocytes. The expediency of differentiated treatment of patients with chronic brain ischemia.<

the Effect of different modes of Audiovisual stimulation on the functional properties of EEG activity.

A. V. Kuzminki
Novosibirsk state University

Currently audio-visual stimulation (AVS) is considered as an effective method of influence on psychoemotional status of the person. To assess the effects of different modes of AVS on the functional characteristics of EEG activity, a study was conducted in which healthy subjects were exposed to a contrast of audio-visual programs - relaxing ("Total Tune-Up" P - AVS) and energizing ("U. F. Oria" - e-ABC) by double-blind method (i.e., polar programs were presented to subjects randomly, and the interval between impacts was 14 days). Multichannel EEG (18 leads) were recorded before, immediately after, 10 and 30 minutes after exposure. In subsequent was held bitartarate coherent analysis of EEG fragments for 147 pairs of leads in 9 frequency bands (1 to 40 Hz). Previously on the basis of the dynamics of changes in heart rate (heart rate), subjects were divided into 2 groups of 9 people: insensitive to impacts, and sensitive, react a distinct slowdown in heart rate. In addition, the "sensitive" group was revealed increased levels of personal depression (according to the questionnaire C. Beck).
In the analysis of the data for both types of ABC has been described a characteristic frequency topographical features of the temporal dynamics of the levels of inter-relationships. It is established that in most frequency ranges higher levels of coherence were observed in response to R-AVS with the most obvious manifestation of inter-program differences through 30 minutes after stimulation. In terms of inter-group differences revealed that "sensitive" subjects demonstrate elevated levels of cooperativity in the posterior regions of the cortex, observed in almost all frequency bands except beta-3 and g-bands. Along with this reveals the dependence of this effect on the type ABC: for the lower and medium frequency bands, the overall level of coherence at the "insensitive" subjects above for e-ABC, and "sensitive" - for P-AVS, while for g-band characteristic "inversion" effect. Another aspect of inter-group differences lies in the temporal dynamics of the cortical effects for the lower frequency bands, mainly for the d-range, in response to AVS the "insensitive" the rise of coherence, and sensitive - the fall, with a subsequent return to baseline levels.
Thus, the results of the study suggest that audio-visual stimulation has significant influence on the functional interaction of regions of the cerebral cortex, and the specific temporal neurodynamics depend on the studied frequency range, the type of AVS, as well as the personal characteristics of the individual (in this case from the tendency to depression).

Audio-visual stimulation note the psychiatrist
This is a unique technique that recently became available in the United States.
Program purpose: used as an auxiliary program to psychotherapeutic techniques, as well as to improve overall health.
Use AVS gives amazing results, thanks to the influence of light and sound of the electric activity of the brain:
- by alpha synchronization increases the level of neurotransmitters: norepinephrine ~ 11%, serotonin is ~ 21%, beta-endorphin ~ 25%.
- decrease stress reactions;
- improved sleep;
- reduced symptoms of depression;
- facilitated condition, caused by the headaches;
- improves the processes of memory, learning, perception;
- increases immunity, etc.

INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY
With the help of audio-visual stimulation on the machine Voyager


The Voyager XL is the latest development in the field of portable devices, affecting the mind; safe, do not require medication, the path leading You into a state of deep relaxation and other beneficial States of consciousness - an optimal tool for the study of consciousness.
Voyager contains 50 unique programs stored in permanent memory, it is unique because each of them is created for a specific task, and each of them was developed vedushim researchers and clinicians in the field of Neurotechnology.

About tehnologii light and sound.
The study of "wave activity in the brain" played an important role in understanding how the brain and mind.
Open using electroencephalograph (EEG), these weak electrical signals reflect the switching of the various activities of the brain. Brain wave activity is constantly changing during the day. Even watching TV can unpredictably affect the electrical activity of the brain. Pulsing sound in the form of musical rhythms has been used by mankind for thousands of years. Research conducted at the Monroe Institute, pakazala that binaural beats and pulsating light can synchronize the activity of the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This synchronization can increase the flow of information between the two hemispheres, and, through this, accelerate learning and enhance creativity.
Another advantage of the technology of light and sound is its ability to interrupt the "vicious circle" of negative emotions, which include anger, anxiety, sadness, irritability, and depression.
The fastest method of reducing stress is to include the appropriate session Voyager XL
the session can be sessions RELAX or ENERGIZE, preferably with a duration of 10-30 minutes. These sessions are sufficiently long in order to distract and refresh You, but not so long that You fell asleep. These sessions are effective because the pulsing light and sound neutralize Your feelings and direct and attract attention to the rhythms.
You can try and maybe in a few days of regular use You will feel more relaxed and more concentrated.
Knowledge of their mental processes is an important step in changing Your emotional response.

АVS ( Auditory Visual Stimulation)
A unique method of audiovisual stimulation is applied to achieve personal, professional, academic, and therapeutic purposes. Under the conduct of a psychologist is already the second or third session, reaching the level at which we can expect a reaction of the nervous system.
Positive changes come as a result of the alpha frequency of brain biocurrents.
With the release of intuition,
the removal of obstacles to remember,
learning occurs more successfully.
Increased production of andorina brings more optimism
to improve mood,
overcoming depression.
Reduces psychosomatic and neurotic symptoms,
pain of the head or stomach,
insomnia,
lowers blood pressure.
With increased frequency theta offers access to unconscious mind
allows you to actively use autosugestion.
This program stimulates visual and auditory centers
right and left hemisphere of the brain,
directs the Central nervous system to optimalisatie exchange of information between the hemispheres,
to eliminate the possible frequency of oscillations of currents of the right and left hemisphere.
AVS is thus to systems "on brain - one brain." Organizes conditions for the uniform inclusion of "logical, rational" and "emotional, intuitive" features of the brain. This is one of the proposals superlearningu, super exercises, memorizing of the information received.
ABC method is very affordable, with virtually no contraindications.
Intense stimulation of the brain can stimulate the formation of new nerve endings, increase the mentality at the level of the comparative IQ tests.<

COMPLEX THERAPY WITH the USE of BINAURAL beats AND BATHS SOSNOVYY BOR PATIENTS ASTHENOVEGETATIVE SYNDROME WITH SLEEP disturbance

Abstract

Krasnoyarsk 2006

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK.
The relevance of the work. Rehabilitation treatment of PATIENTS with ASTHENOVEGETATIVE SYNDROME WITH SLEEP disturbance is of great practical importance. It is determined by its prevalence and social relevance. In the process of restorative treatment plays a significant role non-drug methods.
In the last decade studied the effect of total carbon dioxide, radon, iodine-bromine, sodium chloride, nitrogen, oxygen, holorecorder baths, preformed physical factors (sinusoidal modulated currents of low frequency alternating magnetic field, electromagnetic fields of ultrahigh frequency), including in combination with physical training.
. These studies helped to identify the features of influence of various balneation, preformed physical factors on the SICK ASTHENOVEGETATIVE SYNDROME WITH SLEEP disturbance and identify differentiated approaches for their application. However, the issues of combined use of methods of training effects in patients is unclear, particularly in the outpatient setting. With these positions is of interest to explore the possibilities of the combined use of Binaural beats and balneotherapy (therapeutic baths "PINE forest") in the rehabilitative treatment of patients with Asthenovegetative syndrome in conditions of polyclinic.
The purpose of the study rationale of combined use of Binaural beats and a shared bath "PINE forest" in complex treatment of patients with Asthenovegetative syndrome 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disturbances(PSD) in an outpatient setting.
Objectives of the study:
1. By means of complex clinical-instrumental study to assess the physical health of patients with Asthenovegetative syndrome 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disturbance(HC) before and after a course of treatment with the combined use of Binaural beats and a shared bath "PINE forest" .
2. To evaluate the influence on the course of treatment for patients with Asthenovegetative syndrome 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disturbance(HC) combined use of Binaural beats and a shared bath "PINE forest".
3. To assess the impact on patients Asthenovegetative syndrome 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disturbance(HC) combined use of Binaural beats and a shared bath "PINE forest".depending on the condition of the brain and ream reserve alpha rhythm.
4. To evaluate long-term results of treatment Asthenovegetative syndrome 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disturbance(HC) combined use of Binaural beats and a shared bath "PINE forest". during the 12 months.
5. To determine the indications and contraindications patients with Asthenovegetative syndrome 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disturbance(HC) for combined use of Binaural beats and shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR...
Scientific novelty. For the first time studied the possibility of combined use of Binaural beats and shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR Asthenovegetative syndrome patients 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disturbances(PSD) in the appointment of their combined or sequential courses in the rehabilitative treatment of patients in an outpatient setting. It was first established that the combined use patients with Asthenovegetative syndrome 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disorders (NC) Binaural beats and shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR when appointing their combined or sequential courses has a pronounced training effect, which is manifested by increased physical performance and the increase of alpha brain rhythms.
It was first established that the combined use of Binaural beats and shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR when assigning them in conjunction or sequential courses has a significant impact in patients with Asthenovegetative syndrome 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disturbance(PSD) , which is manifested in a significant decrease in days of average number of difficulty of venous outflow and autonomic stress on 62.7 - 71.7 per cent; the venous outflow and autonomic stress 57.6 - 69.0 per cent, respectively, methods of treatment (confirmed data REG, ECHO EG, AND VEGETOTESTER). Restoration of cerebral circulation the effects of combined use of Binaural beats and shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR when appointing them jointly or successive courses in patients with Asthenovegetative syndrome correlates with the reduction of the manifestations of pain and silent cerebral ischemia (according to REG, ECHO-EG, EEG). The indicators of painful and "silent" brain ischemia reduced per day 52.8% - 64,3% and 33.3 - 54,0%, respectively. Combined use in the appointment of Binaural beats and shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR in a day or consecutive courses are more effective when adequate heart rate response to physical activity, and the prevalence of the alpha rhythm with reduced chronotropic reserve of the heart and the presence of pathological brain rhythms DELTA.
It was first established that the combined use of Binaural beats and shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR has a significantly more pronounced effect than the combined use of Binaural beats and shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR when assigning them sequential courses.
Practical significance. The study shows the possibility of combined use of Binaural beats and shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR when assigning them in conjunction or sequential courses Asthenovegetative syndrome patients 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disturbances(PSD) in an outpatient setting.
Developed and recommended in practice indications and contraindications for combination use in patients Asthenovegetative syndrome 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disorders (NC) Binaural beats and shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR in the outpatient setting.
.
Materials and methods.
Under our supervision there were 120 patients Asthenovegetative syndrome 1 and 2 functional class (FC) sleeping disorder (NS). Patients were treated at fisioterapia center of QUANTUM MEDICINE. Clinical diagnosis was determined using complaints, anamnestic data, REG, the ECHO EG AND VEGETOTESTER, EEG system "AMSAT" AND CHOMATOGRAPH. 40 patients received a course of treatment, when you assign them together (group 1, mean age 40 2 years); 37 patients received a course of treatment when assigning them sequential courses (group 2, mean age 34 2 years); 43 patients received a course of treatment, shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR and medical massage (group 3, mean age 40 2 years of control).
And related hypertensive disease of I level was detected in 16 people, 2 degrees in 16 people according to the who classification. Study randomized, controlled. Groups of patients were formed as a blind method of randomization.
For the solution of tasks in addition to the complex clinical examination was performed the following studies:
1. Assessment of physical performance of patients with vegetates on REAKOR, CARDIOVISOR, AMSAT (Russia), SOMATOGRAPHY ( FRANCE). Threshold on exertion
Methods of treatment. Complex treatment of patients was carried out in the background diet №10 and included therapeutic gymnastics, walking outdoors. Drug treatment in groups of patients was carried out using a - blockers, Valerian - dragge, Betaserc, Bellataminalum, Grandaxinum.
Main results .
Inclusion in the treatment of patients with Binaural beats and shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR when appointing their combined or sequential courses has a pronounced training effect, which is manifested by increased physical performance and the increase of alpha brain rhythms in patients Asthenovegetative syndrome 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disturbance(HC) significantly improves the clinical course of the disease. The majority of patients was the disappearance or decrease of attacks of headaches, reduced sensations of faults in work of heart at rest and during exercise, systolic and diastolic blood pressure in persons with concomitant hypertension, sleep recovered. Tolerability of treatment by patients was good. In the course of treatment, only 6 patients had burning and discomfort in the heart, excitement - irritation during the procedure in the first 3 days. In these patients as the study was interested in hypothalamus and reticular formation;.
Have 80.0% of patients course of treatment, the combined use of Binaural beats and shared baths SOSNOVYY BOR when appointing them jointly leads to a significant increase in the level of physical performance and alpha reserve rhythms of the brain, cerebral circulation. This was confirmed by a reliable increase in power threshold load, double work, private getaway, oxygen consumption per 1 kg of body weight, stroke and cardiac indices, a decrease in total peripheral vascular resistance at threshold load, increasing the prevalence of the alpha rhythm following treatment.
Therefore, the combined use of Binaural beats and a shared bath "PINE forest" in complex treatment of patients with Asthenovegetative syndrome 1 and 2 functional class (FC) with sleep disturbance(HC) has a significant training effect.

the Effect of audio-visual stimulation (AVS) on the muscular and vascular activity

Dave Siever, C. E. T.

In 1988 Dr. Norman Thomas and David Siever conducted a experiment on relaxation using self-hypnosis. All participants had problems muscle tension and pain in the cervical spine, and when they were asked to relax, they were still tense, showing signs of anxiety. As can be seen in figure 1, participants observed the increased tension of the jaw muscles, and lowering the temperature of the fingertips during the first 5 minutes. During reaction often occurs, this phenomenon, so many people usually are afraid of the backlash when you don't see improvement rather quickly.
When, during experiment using ABC the participants were subjected to stimulation of 10 Hz, they instantly started to relax. After only 6 minutes, there was complete relaxation. Due to the response for most people it is particularly difficult to achieve this state of deep relaxation even after a few sessions. As shown in the chart, the fingers of the participants also began to thaw. This is a typical sign that the brain started to produce alpha waves, similar to those that occur during meditation. Despite the fact that during the lifting of glasses and the headphones at the end of the session there were some temporary muscle tension, however the effect of relaxation lasted for the next 15 minutes at the end of the session.

the Effect of audiovisual stimulation in the treatment of hypertension - July 2001

Wendy Mullen, Kathy Berg, C. E. T., Dave Siever, C. E. T.

Introduction
Hypertension is a life-threatening more than 60 million adults in North America. To treatment huge variety of medications, primarily to excitation of the parasympathetic nervous system and the expansion vessels. These drugs have many side effects, and the average American spends on medicines is about $800.00 per year. Change of life style and the pursuit of diet produce increased systolic (upper) pressure by 5 mm Hg.St. and diastolic ( bottom) pressure 2 units of RT.St. Most antihypertensive drugs lower systolic blood pressure in 11 units of RT.St . and diastolic blood pressure by 8.5 units of RT.St. (Fig. 1). Various combinations of antihypertensive drugs to lower systolic blood pressure on average by 18 units, and the diastolic pressure by 12 units, with an increase in related side effects.

Method
All the participants (28 people) for 8 weeks received placebo, one month of stimulation the sub-Delta frequency (0.5 - 1 Hz) and a month of stimulation of alpha frequency (7.8 - 10 Hz). All participants in the experiment took antihypertensive medication. Each week recorded levels of blood pressure. Analyze the signals of depression (BDI) and arousal (STAI)

Conclusion
Earlier alpha frequency AVS have shown its effectiveness in reducing depression and anxiety. However, this group was not observed depression (Beck=7.4) or state anxiety (STAI=34). Therefore, in this case not determined the advantage of alpha waves ABC. What is surprising is that when exposed to sub-Delta waves was observed the effect of lowering systolic blood pressure by 20 units (166 - 146) and diastolic 15 points (96 - 81), as shown in Fig. 1. Interestingly, the impact of sub-Delta waves showed an unexpected improvement in people with fibromyalgia. This is possible because during the experiment the sub-Delta wave was affected more on the physiological functions of the body than psychological.
The participants also showed an unexpected increase in systolic blood pressure by 14 units (146 - 160) and increase in diastolic blood pressure for a few units (81 - 88) only from higher frequencies to alpha for the 5 weeks of the experiment. as there were no changes either in the excited or in the doldrums, this is an unexpected increase in blood pressure may indicate a well-established response, known as the syndrome of white-coat ( white coating), when blood pressure increases in accordance with the level of singularity of the experiment.

Conclusion
Stimulation of sub-Delta waves most reduced blood pressure than when I used a combination of antihypertensive medications. Sometimes the alpha frequency was not as effective as sub-Delta waves as alpha waves was started in the second month of the experiment, and blood pressure had already been reduced slightly. Although alpha waves showed its effectiveness in the treatment of anxiety and depression, in this experiment it was not considered.

On the website of mintUpdate was an interesting article Craig Tice, http://www.mindupdate.com/?p=155 in it Craig talks about his vision of the use AVS for relaxation and sleep, gives examples of how to prepare a session. Although there are links to their programs, may be of interest to everyone who does a session on mind-machines.

Using a special technique of ASFS, but it is only in the clinic.
