Study of the neuro-electrostimulation influence on the head skin capillary blood flow

Abstract

The pilot study of the ‘SYMPATHOCOR-01’ neuro-electrostimulation device influence on the head skin capillary blood flow is described. The infrared thermographic camera was used for the head skin capillary blood flow registration. The analysis of the registered thermograms was performed for mean head skin temperature evaluation. The experiment has shown that application of the neuro-electrostimulator in the blocking mode of the sympathetic nervous system caused the decrease of the head surface temperature. The temperature decrease is associated with the perfusion rate increase on the capillary level, which is in agreement with the neuro-electrostimulation application techniques.
