[The application of combined physiotherapeutic methods for the complex treatment of patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy].

This article reports the results of applying basic pharmacotherapy (enalapril, cytoflavin) and its combination with physical factors (transcranial electrostimulation, combined application oftranscranial electrostimulation and low-frequency magnetic therapy) in the complex treatment of patients with stage I-II dyscirculatory encephalopathy. The study has demonstrated that the combined treatment with cytoflavin, enalapril, transcranial electrostimulation and low-frequency magnetic therapy produced the most pronounced therapeutic effect (82.5%), as confirmed by positive dynamics of clinical and functional parameters.

[The use of combined methods of magnetoelectrotherapy in treating polyneuropathies]. / Primenenie sochetannykh metodov magnitoélektroterapii v lechenii polinevropatii.

A comparative evaluation by such parameters as alleviation of pain syndrome, improvement of peripheral resistance and vegetotrophic processes, a decline in pareses and sensory disorders has been performed in 3 groups of patients: group 1 underwent benzohexonium electrophoresis, group 2 benzohexonium electrophoresis in the magnetic field produced by the unit "Polyus-I" followed by low-frequency electrotherapy with bipolar impulse current, group 3 benzohexonium electrophoresis in the magnetic field from the unit "ADMT-Magnipuls" followed by low-frequency electrotherapy with bipolar impulse current. The best clinical and physiological results were reported in group 3 patients.

[Clinico-physiological and histochemical criteria in the evaluation of the effectiveness of physiotherapy of myotonia]. / Kliniko-fiziologicheskie i gistokhimicheskie kriterii v otsenke éffektivnosti fizioterapii miotonii.

To improve the peripheral circulation, to exert an antihypoxic action on muscle tissue, to stimulate oxidation processes, to relieve the physiological phase of myorelaxation, and to diminish the intensity of myotonic reactions, 34 patients with myotonia were treated by combined administration of benzohexonium and sodium hydroxybutyrate amplipulse-phoresis. All the patients underwent a comprehensive examination using classical electrodiagnosis, electromyography, electroneuromyography, thermography and histochemical tests. As a result of the treatment, 23 patients (67.7%) demonstrated the positive dynamics of the clinical and electrophysiological parameters.

[Treatment of autonomic vascular dystonia by combined physiotherapy methods]. / Lechenie bol'nykh vegetativno-sosudistymi distoniiami sochetannymi metodami fizioterapii.

The use of combined physiotherapy methods in 65 patients suffering of vegetative-vascular dystonias resulted in an improvement of the clinical data, normalization or improvement of electroencephalographic, rheovasographic and thermovision indices.

[Physical therapy of hereditary neuropathies]. / K fizioterapii nasledstvennykh nevropatii.

In a series of 118 patients with the Charcot-Marie-Tooth neural amyotrophy the authors evaluated a comparative therapeutic efficacy of electrophoresis of benzohexamethonium and a new method of physiotherapy, namely, administration of ganglioblockers with the help of sinusoidal modulated currents. The results of the treatment were assessed from the time course of clinico-electrophysiologic parameters. The most marked positive course of the clinico-electrophysiological parameters was observed following electrophoresis of benzohexamethonium by sinusoid modulated current.
