Trigger zones
Trigger zones (TZs) are specific abnormal zones at certain areas and zones of the human body. As a rule, healthy
people should not have Trigger zones. This is a phenomenon brought about by specific neural-reflex connections of
the skin, sinews and muscles with internal organs and organ systems.
Disorders in the functioning and the structure of internal organs, in certain limited skin areas, in sinews, muscles,
periosteum, lead to an occurrence of colour disturbances, sensitivity, enhanced painfulness, areas of induration,
changes in electric conductivity and other changes not characteristic of a healthy body and not found in other
symmetrically positioned parts of the body. These have been referred to as "trigger" zones.
The Trigger zones can be active (visible) and latent (hidden).
Active TZs
Active TZs can be revealed by the operator by means of questioning the patient, through examination of the latter, and
with palpation (with the fingers) and percussion on the body surface.
The active TZs comprise:
• localised projections of complaint (e.g. pain in certain parts of the body or the extremities);
• localised painfulness occurring after palpitation with fingers or following movement;
• localised disruption of skin sensitivity, sweating, temperature;
• reddening or paling of separate skin areas;
• localised induration in the skin, focal painful swellings, "goose flesh" on a restricted skin area, spots of abnormal
pigmentation or flaking, etc.;
• localised change in the muscle tonus, induration of muscle tissue in various places, of various shape and extension
(varies from a few millimetres to a few centimetres).
The active TZs in patients with internal organ diseases are often manifest in localised areas with enhanced sensitivity
and/or reflected painfulness in respective areas (segments) of the body (the Zakharyin-Ged zones).
Latent TZs
The appearance of latent TZs is associated with localised changes in electric skin impedance and with a localised
vegetative response that will occur in segmental or general zones, or in the zone of frontal projection of the organ in
case of its function disorder.
The main differences between latent and active TZs can be seen in the following:
• Latent TZs appear on the human body in the preclinical stage of any acute disease or as an exacerbation of a chronic
pathologic process, i.e. prior to the appearance of complaints and active TZs in the patient.
• Latent TZs are not revealed by ordinary techniques of examination (in physical examination, palpation, percussion,
listening, etc.).
• Latent TZs can only be revealed using DENS.
Latent TZs can be revealed both in the TEST and the THERAPY programs.
In the TEST program, the following indications of latent TZs will be in evidence:
1. Sensitive asymmetry- localised change of the skin sensitivity during DiaDENS Device treatment in any program,
but at the same ER (in this area, in comparison to others, the patient feels either an enhanced or a weakened piercing
sensation).
2. Localised change in skin colour. Following treatment of a skin area under the device electrode (contact asymmetry)
or in another body area (distant asymmetry), reddening or paling appears, distinguishing this particular area from
others.
3. Temporary asymmetry. Zones where the treatment time of the device in the TEST program up until the signal
sounding is considerably different from that of the treatment in other areas, either greater or less, or zones where the
treatment time is over one minute.
4. Change in ALT index in the SCREENING program on adjacent or symmetrical sections of the skin, either increase
or decrease.
5. Localised increase in perspiration. Following treatment of a skin area, drops of perspiration appear under the device
electrode thus distinguishing this particular area from others.
6. Change in the operational sound of the device in a localised skin area during treatment in using the THERAPY
program in the labile mode.
7. When moving the device in the THERAPY program, the operator has to make an effort when moving the electrodes
