RESUMO
The authors report the first attempt to develop the treatment strategy for patients with primary "empty" sella turcica syndrome based at a health resort facility. It is shown that combined therapy including radon baths and acupuncture at specific auricular points makes it possible to improve functioning of the pituitary-ovarian system, decrease body weight, normalize blood prolactin level, eliminate visceral obesity, enhance tissue sensitivity to insulin, reduce hyperinsulimenia and fertility problems (anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and hypoluteinism) associated with insulin resistance.

Scientists of Pyatigorsky State Research Institute of Balneotherapeutics are actively engaged in developing new medical technologies for rehabilitative treatment of patients with a variety of pathological conditions based on the current knowledge about mechanisms of action of natural therapeutic factors. Most of these original methods are included in the State Inventory of novel medical technologies by the Federal Supervisory Health and Social Development Service. The proposed medical technologies based on the application of natural and man-made physical factors improved general effect of balneotherapy by 15-20% and accelerated recovery from the disease. Specifically, the length of post-treatment remission increased to 7-12 months and duration of temporary disability decreased 2.5-3 times. Sick list payouts and economic expenditures of the state and the patients for medicinal preparations were reduced 3-4-fold while the quality of life and clinical prognosis significantly improved.
