[Correction of microcirculatory disorders with low-energy laser radiation in children with vasomotor rhinitis]. / Mikrotsirkuliatornye rasstroistva i vozmozhnosti ikh korrektsii nizkoénergeticheskim lazernym izlucheniiem u bol'nykh vazomotornym rinitom v detskom vozraste.

Turbinated bone's mucosa of 46 children aged 6 to 15 years was exposed to radiation of low-energy laser for neurovegetative vasomotor rhinitis. Repeated biomicroscopy stated that abnormal microcirculation recovered after 10 sessions of the radiation even in severe alterations of the microcirculatory bed and long history of the disease. The conclusion is made that low-energy laser radiation is effective in correction of microcirculatory disorders and tissue mechanisms of homeostasis in children with neurovegetative vasomotor rhinitis.

[Clinical effectiveness of magnetolaser therapy of vasomotor rhinitis]. / O klinicheskoi effektivnosti magnitolazernoi terapii vazomotornogo rinita.

Magnet-laser therapy was used to treat vasomotor rhinitis in 90 patients. A constant magnet of 50 mT was applied to the exterior of the nose, and an infrared laser beam was applied via a light-guide to the reflexogenic zones of concha inferior. The radiation power density was 5 mW/cm2. The magnetic exposure time was 6-10 min and the laser exposure time was 3-5 min for each half of the nose. The therapeutic course was 8-12 sessions. The therapeutic results depended on the type of vasomotor rhinitis, clinical disorders, and duration of the disease. Good results were seen in 84 (93.3%) patients out of 90 cases. Stable remission was recorded in 61.1% patients, significant improvement of clinical manifestations of vasomotor rhinitis was observed in 32.2% cases. Best results were reported in patients with autonomic forms of vasomotor rhinitis who suffered from short-term disease and vasodilation disorders.

[Functional methods of study in the evaluation of the effectiveness of laser therapy of vasomotor rhinitis and some forms of prosopalgia]. / Funktsional'nye metody issledovaniia v otsenke éffektivnosti lazernoi terapii vazomotornogo rinita i nekotorykh vidov prozopalgii.

Highly sensitive instrumental methods such as rhinopneumography, rhinorheography, rheoencephalography and segmented sphygmography were used to measure the efficacy of contact laser therapy of the pterygopalatine ganglion to treat vasomotor rhinitis and trigeminal neuralgia. This method proved efficient in the case of the nervous form of vasomotor rhinitis, Sluder syndrome, and trigeminal neuralgia. Stable remission developed in 60% of patients.

[Indicators of the activity of the immune system during laser therapy of vasomotor rhinitis]. / Pokazateli aktivnosti immunnoi sistemy pri lazernoi terapii vazomotornogo rinita.

Helium-neon laser LH-75 was used to treat 60 inbred mice and 62 patients with vasomotor rhinitis. The patients were given 10 laser sessions. In animals, all responses of T-lymphocytes were modified. Cyclic changes that developed during laser irradiation were accompanied by immunity suppression or activation. In patients, the count of T- and B-lymphocytes and the leucocyte migration inhibition reaction were measured. The patients with vasomotor rhinitis showed a significant increase of T-lymphocytes and a higher capacity of T-cells to form the migration inhibition factor. The efficacy of laser therapy of vasomotor rhinitis became optimal on irradiation day 6 or 7 and reached a maximum on day 10.
