Effectiveness
of SCENAR Therapy: Physiological Aspects An article by Ya.Z.Grinberg discussing the differences in physiological
reactions resulting from SCENAR therapy and electrotherapy (electro-therapy).
It describes the peculiarities of SCENAR action and technology. Drawing on experience
accumulated by SCENAR therapists and practitioners, the article explains how
SCENAR action activates fibres of the nervous system to a higher degree than
other methods, to produce neuropeptides (NP) and regulative peptides (RP). These
act as a regulator of physiological functions. The article looks at the main
targets of SCENAR action, which are: regulation of pain, accelerated recovery
following SCENAR treatments and the absence of SCENAR side effects.
The
Organisation of SCENAR Therapy: Practical Use of the "RISTA-EPD" Computer
Diagnostic Set An article by OI.V.Andrianov discussing the organisation (organization)
o SCENAR therapy at City Hospital No.21 where a wide-range of diseases are treated
by doctors who prefer to use a non-drug approach. The hospital acquired a "RISTA-EPD"
computer diagnostic set which includes three diagnostic programmes: "Nakatani",
"Auricle" and "R.Woll". Each patient is offered a computer
diagnosis. Recent developments in this programme now makes it possible to obtain
a read-out giving information about general zones and information about the
internal organs based on the assessment of the zones of the vegetative nervous
system innervation.
A Specific
Method for the Correction of a Structural Component of the Organism An article by A.Naporov sets out the result of work with the SCENAR
in a polyclinic setting (Russian equivalent of GP practise), leading to a method
for correcting a structural component of the organism in patients with a combination
of visceral and somatic pathology. The adaptive system of the organism is based
on the relationship between the vegetative and somatic nervous sytems, manifested
in the main reflexes, viz. visceral-dermal, visceral-motor (spinal muscles),
visceral-sclerotomal (fascias, ligaments and periosteum). The author refers
to the phenomenon called "formation of the peripheral generator in the
determinant system " (according to Kryizhanovskyi) resulting in a morphologic
substrate which emerges as a result of a sanogenic reaction of adaptation and
turns into an autonomic link in the pathogenic chain of the illness thus perpetuating
the chronic state. SCENAR treatment succeeded in reducing the excitability of
muscles are in a hypertonus state and restoring the functions of the spinal
column.
SCENAR
THERAPY: A Comparison with other Methods of Electrotherapy
This article is based on material from a lecture by YA.Z.Grinberg. It lists
the major forms of electrotherapy, of which SCENAR therapy is one. These are:
electro-stimulation, therapy with electro-sleep, dia-dynamic current (DDC),
interference therapy, therapy with sinusoidal modulated current, fluctuation
and impulse electro-therapy. Three major groups of effects of electrotherapy
are listed: local, segmental and generalised. The article examines in detail
two forms of electrotherapy: DDC (or P. Bernard current) where impulses half-sinusoidal
in shape are used, and SEA (short-impulse electro-analgesia) where mono- and
bi-polar impulses are used. The shortcomings of these two therapies are explained
and ways of improving the effectiveness of electrotherapy are given. Finally,
the article lists the parameters of SCENAR therapy that make it more effective.
Tables list indications and contra-indications for electrotherapy.
