The method of electropuncture, which is widely used in therapy, is based on the effect of electric currents of various shapes and intensities on the biologically
active zones of the patient. In this case, the therapeutic effect is due to the flow of electric currents on the surface and inside the human body. For the development
of modern methods of electropuncture, one of the important tasks is to study the relationships between reflex areas of the body and certain groups of organs and
systems of the human body, information about which can be obtained from the distribution of electric currents inside the body in various leads. The current
densities in the human body cannot be determined experimentally due to the difficulties of both methodological and technical nature when working with
biological objects.
