Electroson

Electrosleep, a method of electrotherapy, was developed by Soviet scientists over 60 years ago. They discovered that low-frequency electrical impulses have a beneficial effect on the central nervous system (CNS). This stimulation leads to the recovery of damaged nerve cells and activates the trophic (nutritional) function of the autonomic nervous system. Thus, a new physiotherapeutic method called electrosleep was born.

The principle of electrosleep is as follows: a weak electric current with low frequency is applied to the brain, triggering changes in the CNS that induce a state of sleep. This therapeutic effect gave the procedure its most common name — *electrosleep* (another term is *electroanalgesia*). Unlike drug-induced sleep, electrosleep does not cause dependency, side effects, or toxic burden on the body.

How an Electrosleep Session Is Conducted

The parameters of the impulse current are set so that the patient experiences no discomfort, while ensuring maximum treatment effectiveness. The physician determines the frequency and duration of the pulses, typically between 10–150 Hz (frequency) and 0.2–0.5 milliseconds (pulse duration). The current strength is adjusted until the patient feels a mild pulsation behind the eyes.

A session may last from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the severity of the condition and individual characteristics of the body. Electrosleep sessions are usually conducted daily or every other day. A full course generally consists of 10–15 procedures.

Therapeutic Effects of Electrosleep

Electric impulses affect the cerebral cortex and subcortical zones, entering the brain through the eye sockets and spreading via blood vessels. These impulses trigger a sleep-like state that helps:

Improve cerebral circulation;
Have a calming effect;
Restore blood-forming functions of spinal cord cells.

Clinical studies show that this method positively affects blood quality: it reduces coagulation, normalizes cholesterol levels and blood pressure. It also improves the function of the urogenital and gastrointestinal systems and restores emotional balance. Electrosleep increases endorphin levels in the blood, which naturally boosts mood.

Indications and Contraindications for Electrosleep

This electrotherapy method has shown positive results in treating many diseases and pathological conditions, particularly:

Vegatovascular dystonia;
Neuroses;
Post-traumatic brain injury;
Pregnancy toxemia;
Chronic fatigue;
Sleep disorders;
Duodenal ulcer and others.

Like any physiotherapeutic method, electrosleep has contraindications. It should not be performed in the following cases:

Individual intolerance;
Epilepsy;
High-degree myopia;
Inflammatory eye conditions;
Fever;
Facial dermatitis and similar skin conditions.
