The ever growing occurrence of iatrogenic pathologies under present conditions is responsible for the high percentage of adverse reactions associated with medicamental therapy. It emphasizes the necessity of the more extensive application of non-pharmacological products and physiotherapeutic methods free of this disadvantage. Dynamic electroneurostimulation (DENS) is one of the up-to-date promising therapeutic and prophylactic modality for this purpose by virtue of its broad spectrum of action. This approach is based on the principle of monitoring skin surface impedance. The present study was designed to estimate the effectiveness of DENS for the treatment of the patients presenting with chronic diseases, such as nervous disorders, dysfunction of the locomotor system, gastrointestinal and urogenital pathologies. This multicenter study in the form of a randomized clinical trial included 1,198 outpatients and 814 inpatients. It was shown that the application of dynamic electroneurostimulation provides a highly efficacious tool for the management of nervous, internal, and other diseases. It can be recommended for use as a promising non-medicamnetal therapeutic modality for the combined treatment and rehabilitation of the patients presenting with the diseases of various etiology.
