[Method of biocontrol in the complex treatment of cerebral arachnoiditis].

The authors analyze the results of using the method of adaptive biocontrol of the brain bioelecrical activity in combined treatment of 60 patients suffering from cerebral arachnoiditis. Use was made of a biocontrol modification in which the external feedback signals were formed on the basis of the pathological pattern of the patient's EEG or the alpha-activity. For the first time the slow-wave components of the delta range (2 to 4 Hz) were taken for the controlled parameter in the regulation of epileptiform activity. As a result of the treatment showed a favourable effect that was exhibited by clinical, psychological, and eletrographic findings. Factors influencing significantly the results of the biocontrol are specified. The results of control experiments were also analyzed. The analysis confirmed the specificity of the biocontrol as a therapeutic method, and the fact that is effect is different from that of placebo. The biocontrol method is recommended for use in the treatment of nervous diseases as a method of directed use of the brain reserve capacities.
