The effectiveness of the health-resort treatment of patients with glaucoma in a low-mountain climatic resort

The efficacy of electrosleep (15 people, 28 eyes, eight procedures) and endonasal nicotinic acid electrophoresis (26 people, 48 eyes, ten processes) on the course of glaucoma under conditions of low atmospheric pressure and carbon dioxide baths were studied. Intraocular pressure decreased by 31 eyes (64.6%) in those receiving endotasal nicotinic acid electrophoresis, in 16 eyes (57.1%) in those obtaining electric sleep, the field of view expanded by 46 (95.8%) and 14 (50 %) eyes. Positive dynamics in visual acuity and paracentral scotomas were noted. The best results in the spa treatment of glaucoma are achieved with the use of endonasal nicotinic acid electrophoresis and its combination with electric sleep.
