Russia has created a device for the treatment of head injuries and ADHD

Residents of the Mosmedpark Technopark have created a hardware and software complex for the treatment and recovery of patients with disabilities based on the translingual neurostimulation method. The device, which accelerates rehabilitation after strokes, traumatic brain injuries, ADHD, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis, is now receiving a registration certificate, after which it will enter the market. This was reported to Izvestia by the Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Policy of the city of Moscow.

Translingual neurostimulation is a rehabilitation technique for influencing the central nervous system through electrical stimulation of the tongue. In a 20-minute procedure, about 27 million electrical impulses are delivered to the surface of the tongue, which improve the functioning of various parts of the brain. If any area of the organ is active at this time, then its work becomes more efficient.

"If you move your hand, the areas of the cerebral cortex responsible for the function of the hand are activated, and the use of translingual neurostimulation creates additional impulses and makes the work of this zone much more efficient," explained Evgeny Bugorsky, CEO of Almatek development company, Izvestia.

The Russian device has been successfully tested and will soon be available to equip medical facilities.
