LONG-TERM RESULTS OF THE NEW METHOD OF TREATMENT OF AMBLYOPIA IN CHILDREN

Abstract

97 children with refractive-strabismic amblyopia and 32 healthy children aged 5 to 12 have been examined. Clinical effectiveness of the new amblyopia treatment method has been analyzed with the help of transcranial micropolarization by means of direct current impact in combination with medical treatment. Patients with amblyopia have been divided into 2 groups on grounds of electroencephalography: the first group included 35 children with alpha - rhythm amplitude below 50 µV, which in addition to transcranial direct current stimulation received Pantogam 250 mg 2 times per day during a month, the second - 62 children with the amplitude more than 70 µV, they received Magne В6 in amount of one pill 2 times per day during a month.In the late observation time after 4 courses of treatment visual acuity has increased in 81.4 % of cases. It has been noted, thatthe processes of higher nervous activity improved, which was proved by the dynamics of electroencephalography parameters, increased behavioral development coefficient and clinical improvement of adaptation of patients with amblyopia to school activity.
