Transcranial magnetic therapy is an effective strategy for remediating neuroendocrine pathology

Abstract

Abstract:Aspects of reactivation and remediation of impaired functions of the brain and of the inner organs regulatory systems are crucial to medical science. The study presents the technique of transcranial magnetic therapy (TMT) with extremely low frequency alternating magnetic field employed for balanced activation of central nervous system function. This study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of TMT in diseases caused by hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction. Material and Methods -90 children aged 10-16 years with different diseases but with similar pathogenic patterns were enrolled in the study. Group 1 included 30 adolescent girls with menstrual irregularities. Group 2 included 30 children with nocturnal enuresis. Group 3 included 30 teenage boys with constitutional delay of growth and puberty. Medical histories were studied, clinical and laboratory evaluation was carried out. TMT stimulation was performed using the device "AMO-ATOS" (TRIMA LLC, Saratov, Russia).Results -Children in all the groups had high incidence of antenatal and perinatal pathologies recorded in their medical histories. Analysis of electroencephalograms (EEG) showed the prevalence of disorganized and flat EEG patterns -70% in all the children. Sympathicotonia being the symptom of autonomic nervous system dysfunction, prevailed in 60-80% of the children. The children in the three groups had hormonal imbalance. The treatment with TMT resulted in considerable improvement in hormonal balance and laboratory findings. Conclusion -ТМТ stimulation is effective in remediation of impaired functions of the brain and treatment of the diseases caused by hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction.Keywords: hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, transcranial magnetic therapy, menstrual irregularities, neurogenic urinary bladder dysfunction, constitutional delay of growth and puberty Cite as Bolotova NV, Averianov AP, Timofeeva SV, Raigorodsky YM, Morova OL.

Combined repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and medication treatment for depression is associated with serum amyloid a level: Evidence from naturalistic clinical practice

“…A population-based, longitudinal study showed inverse associations between androgens and depressive symptoms, although the associations were not independent of relevant confounders (Kische et al, 2017). In another longitudinal study on children, the rTMS was effective in remediating testosterone to levels seen in age-matched controls (Bolotova et al, 2017). Besides, gonadal steroids are involved in regulating cortical excitability induced by rTMS (Bonifazi et al, 2004).…”
