Abstract
BACKGROUND: Down syndrome is common, insufficiently well-studied genetic pathology, which leads to early disability of the children’s population. In this pathology leads neurological disorders of different severity. Currently, the methods of correction of the existing cerebral deficit in such children are actively being developed. Correction of mental function help to socialize children with Down syndrome.
AIMS: to study the effectiveness of transcranial micropolarization in the complex therapy of neurological disorders in children with Down syndrome.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ability using the transcranial micropolarization method by N.Yu. Kozhushko allows reliably to improve the existing cerebral dysfunction in the Down syndrome.
RESULTS: According to the results of testing on a 10-point scale for assessing speech function, 6 months after the procedures, there was a significant improvement in the indicators of expressive and impressive speech, speech attention, as well as positive dynamics in the formation and improvement of neatness skills. Undesirable effects were noted in isolated cases and were manifested by a short-term sleep disturbance or arousal after a session of transcranial micropolarization.
CONCLUSIONS: The method of transcranial micropolarization adapted by N.Yu. Kozhushko, can be recommended for complex habilitation for patients with Down syndrome. Timely corrected neurological symptoms can improve the quality of life of such children and their families, and contribute to their timely adaptation in society.
