Rheoencephalography
Reoencephalography (REG) — a method for diagnosing cerebral blood flow disorders. It is a non-invasive technique used to examine the vascular system of the brain, based on measuring changes in the electrical resistance of tissues when a weak high-frequency current passes through them.
Reoencephalography (REG) provides information about the intensity of cerebral blood filling, the condition of vascular tone and vessel wall elasticity, venous outflow from the cranial cavity, and vascular reactivity under various factors affecting circulation. It is commonly used in cases of headaches, dizziness, and hypertensive disease.
The advantages of this method include its relative simplicity, the possibility of conducting studies practically in any setting and over long periods, as well as the ability to obtain detailed data on both arterial and venous systems of the brain and intracerebral vessels of different diameters.
Reoencephalography (REG) is used in the diagnosis of:
- Intracranial pressure instability
- Concussion, cerebral contusion
- Cervical spine trauma, cervico-cranial syndrome
- Headache (cephalgia)
- Dizziness
- Hypertensive disease
- Tinnitus (ear ringing)
- Vertebrobasilar insufficiency
- Vascular dystonia (vegetative-vascular dysfunction)
- Cerebral circulation disorders (brain ischemia, stroke)
- Pituitary adenoma
- Encephalopathy
- Parkinson’s disease
