Effects of low-intensity narrow-band optical irradiation wavelength of 540 nm on the clinical course of chronic gastroduodenitis in children, the mucous membrane of upper gastrointestinal tract morpho- logical status, the motor function of the gallbladder and esophagus. It was discovered that combina- tion therapy has a definite advantage over drug treatment on elimination of clinical manifestations and morphological and motor indicators of gastrointestinal tract dicfunction
A review of literature sources on the use of vibrotherapy in physiotherapy is presented. In the mechanism of action of vibrotherapy, the leading role belongs to vibration sensitivity the main link between the human body and the impact on it of the environment. The patient's tissues are affected using devices for vibrotherapy, using mechanical vibrations with a frequency of 10 to 250 Hz in continuous or pulsed modes. Vibrotherapy has trophic, reflex, neuroprotective, myorelaxing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, oxygenating, antioxidant effects and is recommended for prevention, treatment and rehabilitation in various nosologies and conditions of the human body. In addition to the above, vibrotherapeutic effects contribute to the formation of protective and adaptive mechanisms.
Background. Psoriasis is a systemic disease with the presence of comorbid pathology, which is the cause of serious psychological problems.
The aim of the study was to assess the quality of life and psychoemotional status of patients with psoriasis against the background of standard drug therapy with the inclusion of photochromotherapy (PCT).
Methods. The randomized controlled study included 144 patients (mean age 48.34 13.51 years) with psoriasis in the advanced stage. Patients, depending on the method of treatment, were divided into 4 groups, comparable by clinical and functional characteristics. For all groups, standard drug treatment was prescribed, including antiinflammatory, hyposensitizing, detoxification and external therapy, while additionally for 10 days, patients of the 2nd group (n = 47) received PCT with narrow-band optical radiation (NOR) 540 nm, patients of the 3rd group (n = 48) PCT with NOR 650 nm, patients of the 4th group (n = 21) imitation of PCT (placebo). Patients of the 1st group (n = 28) received only standard treatment.
Results. The positive effect of NOR 540 nm on the psychoemotional state and NOR 650 nm on the quality of life of patients with psoriasis has been demonstrated.
Conclusion. Thus, taking into account the significant positive effect of green radiation (NOR 540 nm) on the indicators of the psychoemotional state of patients with psoriasis in the advanced stage and the positive effect of red radiation (NOR 650 nm) on the indices of integral dermatological index of quality of life (improving the quality of life), NOR with these wavelengths can be recommended in the complex therapy of patients with exacerbation of psoriasis to increase the overall effectiveness of treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
