Abstract
Purpose. To study the effectiveness of the course application of reflex stimulation methods for lumbosacral dorsopathy.
Material and methods. The study was attended by 90 patients of both gap under the age of 60 years, hospitalized in connection with a prolonged exacerbation of the vertebrogenic process. Patients were divided into three equal groups: 1st-standard therapy; 2nd-standard therapy and electro-acupuncture (10 procedures performed every other day); 3rd-standard therapy and pharmacopuncture (10 procedures performed every other day). After 1 month in the 2nd and 3rd groups, an additional cycle of non-invasive percutaneous electrical stimulation was carried out (7 procedures performed every other day).
Results. After the course of therapy in the 2nd and 3rd groups, compared with the 1st group, there was a regression of neurological symptoms, including the dynamics of Algiy, as well as a tendency to normalize the mental and vascular background. However, after 6 months, the preservation of the results of treatment in combination with a significantly smaller amount of exacerbations of Dorsopathy was recorded only in the 2nd group (the use of two consistent cycles of electrotherapy).
Conclusion. The effectiveness of consistent electrical stimulation courses in the preservation of therapeutic results can be explained by the typical trace reaction, which ensures the cumulation of the effects. Thus, the work performed contributes to the further optimization of therapeutic and rehabilitation programs in vertebrogenic pathology.
