Abstract

The purpose of this work was to develop a methodology and substantiate the possibility of using
transcranial magnetotherapy in the medical rehabilitation of patients with traumatic optic neuropathy. 40 people aged 22 to 68 years who, against the background of standard drug therapy, underwent transcranial low-frequency low-intensity pulsed magnetotherapy from the ALMAG-03 device according to the following method: the emitter was placed on the head with the location of the input cables in the temporal and occipital regions and the frontal region with a fixed magnetic field. Thus, the use of transcranial magnetic therapy in the complex rehabilitation of patients with traumatic optic neuropathy in the early postoperative period improves visual functions.
