Abstract
We report here our studies on the clinical efficacy of courses of magnetophoresis of glutamic acid and magnesium sulfate in the complex rehabilitation treatment of preschool children with spastic types of cerebral palsy. Clinical-neurophysiological investigations were performed in 40 children aged 1–7 years. Treatment was significantly more effective when use of running pulsed magnetic fields was combined with medicinal agents as compared with magnetotherapy using the same regime.
