Abstract
A total of 18 children with cerebral palsy and organic brain lesions underwent sessions of transcranial micropolarization with the aim of decreasing the frequency of convulsive fits. Transcranial micropolarization of the posterior temporal and parietal areas of the cerebral cortex was found to provide a marked decrease in the frequency of convulsive fits and to normalize the EEG pattern. This effect was due to the targeted effects of direct currents passed through the respective morphofunctional connections of cortical zones to the structures responsible for forming and controlling the convulsive activity of the brain.Entities:
