Use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in the complex treatment of glossalgia.

Thirty-four patients with glossalgia were studied. The painful part of tongue was electrically stimulated using an 'Elektronika-2M' apparatus with a current of 45 microA for 10-20 min (current strength was patient-controlled to produce the sensation of local prickling): courses consisted of 10-12 treatments. The results of electrical stimulation therapy were compared with results obtained using standard methods of treatment (novocaine blockade, analgesics, etc.), which were used in a control group of 30 patients. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation was highly effective: improvements were noted after the first session, and significant reductions in pain syndrome occurred after 1-3 sessions; therapeutic effects were obtained at the end of treatment in all 34 patients, i.e., in 100% of cases, as compared with 70% in the control group, with remission lasting more than one year in 20 patients and from 3-12 months in 14.

[Electrode device for rheoperiodontography].

The electrode device for rheoperiodontography is described. It enables a reliable fixing of a contact element on the mucosa and keeps dry mucosal surface under an elastic tip around the contact element, thereby providing more clear and consistent rheographic indices in any patient when using the technique. 28 patients suffering from dental plexalgia have been examined. The device is useful in neurology, neurostomatology, stomatology, and other similar fields for functional diagnosis of different diseases.
