[Application of modern methods for activation of brain functions in obese patients (literature review)].

UNLABELLED: The problem of rational activation of functions of the central nervous system of a human remains highly relevant.

OBJECTIVE

To analyze scientific data on the use of transcranial exposure method in obesity.

RESULTS

The literature review presents current data on the effectiveness of non-invasive hardware brain neurostimulation in obese patients. The results of studies by domestic and foreign authors on the use of techniques of transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial magnetotherapy, transcranial electrical stimulation and their combinations in the comprehensive treatment of obesity in patients of different ages are presented. The data of studies on changes in dynamics of clinical and laboratory indicators, change in eating behavior in patients with obesity and metabolic syndrome after the course application of transcranial therapy by means of hardware exposure of magnetic and/or electric fields on the central nervous system are described.

CONCLUSION

The use of transcranial techniques has a positive effect on all levels of dysregulation in patients with obesity, both central and peripheral.
