ZONE OF FRONTAL PROJECTION OF PATIENT'S COMPLAINT
Only the complaint presented by the patient him/herself can determine the primary treatment zone,
using the in-built electrodes of DiaDENS devices using the THERAPY program. For instance, in
cases where the patient complains of knee joint pain, the electrodes are placed on the impaired joint
area, whereas in diseases of the broncho-pulmonary system they are placed on the chest area.
In areas of pain or in localised absence of sensitivity, the energy range ER-2 or ER-3 will be applied.
In other situations and prepu-bescent children, the ER-1 range should be used.
In most cases the treatment should be carried out at a frequency of 60 or 77 Hz. Where the pain is
acute, the procedure should begin at a frequency of 200 Hz until the pain subsides, and then
continued at frequencies of 77 and 20 Hz, with 3-5 minutes being spent at each frequency. For
treatment of the frontal projection zone, both the stationary and the labile ways of treatment can be
used, as well as the labile-stationary way.
The duration of the treatment on the zone depends on the presence or absence of the pain syndrome.
If the patient's main complaint is pain, then the device action will be continued until the pain has
completely disappeared or has considerably diminished. If there is no pain, then the action will be
continued until the central complaint has disappeared (e.g. stuffiness of the nose, coughing, shortness
of breath, palpitation, skin sensitivity disorders, etc.) or until redness appears beneath the electrode, a
sensation of "goose flesh", a feeling of warmth or lightness. The treatment of the device in a single
zone often causes the patient to relax and fall asleep; in this case, the DENS should also be stopped.
