DEVICE TREATMENT
ZONES AND DATA
PROCESSING METHODS
1. ZONE OF FRONTAL PROJECTION OF PATIENT'S COMPLAINT
Only the complaint presented by the patient him/herself can determine the primary treatment zone, using the in-built
electrodes of DiaDENS devices using the
program. For instance, in cases where the patient complains of knee
joint pain, the electrodes are placed on the impaired joint area, whereas in diseases of the broncho-pulmonary system they
are placed on the chest area.
In areas of pain or in localised absence of sensitivity, the energy range
will be applied. In other situations and
range should be used.
In most cases the treatment should be carried out at a frequency of 60 or 77 Hz. Where the pain is acute, the procedure
should begin at a frequency of 200 Hz until the pain subsides, and then continued at frequencies of 77 and 20 Hz, with 3-5
minutes being spent at each frequency. For treatment of the frontal projection zone, both the
and the
ways
of treatment can be used, as well as the labile-stationary way.
The duration of the treatment on the zone depends on the presence or absence of the pain syndrome. If the patient's main
complaint is pain, then the device action will be continued until the pain has completely disappeared or has considerably
diminished. If there is no pain, then the action will be continued until the central complaint has disappeared (e.g. stuffiness
of the nose, coughing, shortness of breath, palpitation, skin sensitivity disorders, etc.) or until redness appears beneath the
electrode, a sensation of "goose flesh", a feeling of warmth or lightness. The treatment of the device in a single zone often
causes the patient to relax and fall asleep; in this case, the DENS should also be stopped.
