Perielektroton

Perielectroton is the phenomenon of changes in the excitability and conductivity of a nerve at a distance of 2-2.5 cm from the site of application of direct electric current. At the same time, in the cathode region, the excitability and conductivity of the nerve increase, and in the anode region they decrease.

This effect was discovered in 1912 by the Soviet physiologist A.F. Samoilov while studying the effect of electric current on the nerve. He discovered that the application of current causes a change in the excitability of the nerve not only directly under the electrodes, but also at some distance from them.

The perielectroton mechanism is associated with the redistribution of ions along the nerve fiber under the influence of an electric field. As a result, depolarization of the nerve fiber membrane occurs in the cathode region, and hyperpolarization occurs in the anode region. This leads to corresponding changes in the excitability and conductivity of the nerve.

The phenomenon of perielectroton is of great importance for understanding the mechanisms of nerve excitation and conduction of nerve impulses. It is also used in electrodiagnostics and electrotherapy.

Perielectrotonic phenomenon is a phenomenon in which an electric current passing through tissues can change their physiological properties at a distance from the site of its application. This phenomenon was discovered in the 1930s and was called “perielectroton.”

Perielectrotonic phenomenon occurs when an electrical current passes through tissue and affects the nervous system. In the cathode region, where the current is directed to the tissues, nerve excitability and conductivity increase. In the anode region, where the current moves from the tissues, excitability and conductivity decrease.

The mechanism of action of perielectroton is that electric current affects nerve endings and changes their activity. This can lead to changes in the speed of nerve impulse transmission and response to external stimuli.

The use of perielectroton in medicine can be useful for the treatment of certain diseases of the nervous system. For example, in the treatment of pain and other neurological disorders, perielectroton can be used to stimulate nerves and reduce pain sensations.

However, it should be noted that perieelectroton is not a universal treatment method and may have side effects. Therefore, before using perielectroton, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and consultation with a doctor.
