Abstract

The review examines the use of protective (endorphinergic and serotonergic) mechanisms of the brain in obstetrics and gynecology. To review the current state of the problem an analysis of the eLIBRARU, PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane databases was carried out, and works for 2015-2020 were selected. It has been shown that the method of non - invasive non - drug effects on the human body - transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) - activates and accelerates reparative processes, normalizes psychophysiological status, has anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulating effects, has an onco-protective effect, stabilizes the autonomic nervous system, provides drug - free disturbance homeostasis in general. This makes it possible to successfully use TES in obstetrics and gynecology in such pathological conditions as the threat of pregnancy termination at different times, nausea and vomiting of pregnant women, preeclampsia, pathological prelaminar period, menstrual dysfunction, climacteric syndrome, leiomyoma and endometriosis of the uterus, endometrial hyperplastic processes, chronic inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs with pain syndrome, surgery and obstetrics care. TES is characterized by high efficiency, safety, ease of use, availability and economic profitability. TES reduces the number of prescribed drugs and shortens the recovery time. This method is used both as monotherapy and as a component of a complex action including medication and non-medication. The results of the TES studies presented in the review complement each other and demonstrate the importance of modern alternative methods of treatment, and the authors of these studies are unanimous in their opinion on the fruitfulness of the use of transcranial electrical stimulation as a type of non-drug therapy in various fields of obstetrics and gynecology.
