US 2006/0136009 A1 · Dental/medical anxiety/phobia remediation protocol

Abstract

A protocol or procedure is provided for lowering sympathetic nervous system arousal in a person in order to prepare that person for a medical or dental procedure. First, a therapeutic dosage of one or more neurotransmitter supplements, such as a gamma aminobutyric acid formulation, a tryptophan-derived neurotransmitter, and dehydroepiandrosterone are sublingually administered to the patient. After a period of time for the formula dosage to take effect, gelled electrodes are placed adjacent or below the mastoid. The gelled electrodes are connected to a cranial electrotherapy stimulation device that administers a sub-sensation level current to the patient. Also, a noise dampening headset is placed on the patient and a neuroacoustic entrainment recording or program is played. Then, the medical or dental procedure is performed.

Dependent claims

A method of relaxing a patient before and during a dental procedure comprising the steps of:

administering a therapeutic dosage of a neurotransmitter supplement to the patient;
administering cranial electrotherapy stimulation to the patient;
administering a neuroacoustic entrainment program to the patient to promote lower-frequency brainwave patterns, the neuroacoustic entrainment program comprising signals of two different frequencies presented separately and simultaneously to each ear, the program inducing the brain to perceive a phantom frequency equal to the difference between the two frequencies presented to the ears;
and
performing the dental procedure on the patient.
