THE IMPACT OF MICROCURRENT NEUROSTIMULATION ON THE PSYCHOMOTOR DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL MICROCEPHALY
Abstract
Congenital microcephaly is one of the severe organic lesions of the central nervous system and is accompanied by persistent impairments in motor, cognitive, and speech development.The aim of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of microcurrent reflexotherapy (MCRT) as part of comprehensive neurorehabilitation for young children with microcephaly.The study included 260 children aged from 6 months to 7 years, divided into main and control groups.It was found that the inclusion of MCRT significantly improves motor activity, cognitive and speech development, reduces the severity of epileptic activity, normalizes muscle tone, and enhances the quality of life for patients and their families.The results obtained justify the feasibility of using MCRT as an effective and safe method of early neurorehabilitation.
