Comparative study of the effects on the EEG of drinking monotherapy with Naftussya water and therapy supplemented with “Myroslava” and “Khrystyna” mineral waters

Abstract

Background. Earlier we showed that the newly created sulfate-chloride sodium-magnesium drinking mineral waters of Truskavets’ spa have favorable effects on metabolism and neuroendocrine-immune complex of patients with their dysfunction. This report analyzes the effect of balneotherapy on the parameters of the electroencephalogram of the same contingent of patients. Materials and Methods. The object of clinical-physiological observation were 34 men aged 23-70 years, who underwent rehabilitation treatment of chronic cholecystitis and pyelonephritis in remission in the Truskavets’ spa. The examination was performed twice, before and after a 7-10-day course of balneotherapy. All patients received bioactive water Naftussya, however, 11 men additionally drank water "Khrystyna", and the other 11 men - water "Myroslava". The subject of the study were the parameters of the electroencephalogram. Results. The complex balneotherapy by interval use of sulfate-chloride sodium-magnesium mineral waters with Naftussya water causes significant changes in the constellation of EEG parameters, which are different from the effects of Naftussya water monotherapy. Own effects of mineral waters are estimated by modeling. Two patterns of neurotropic effects have been identified - activating and inhibitory. In general, the neuromodulating effects are physiologically favorable. Conclusion. The newly created sulfate-chloride sodium-magnesium drinking mineral waters of Truskavets’ spa have favorable neuromodulating effects on patients with chronic cholecystitis and pyelonephritis.

Peculiarities of modulating effects of “Myroslava” and “Khrystyna” mineral waters on neuroendocrine-immune complex and metabolism in patients of Truskavets’ spa

“…Thus, the mineral waters "Myroslava" and "Khrystyna" have both similar [12,13] and different effects on the body. It is important that the differences are manifested not only in the severity of changes in the registered parameters, but also in their direction.…”

“…Earlier we found effects on the neuroendocrine-immune complex and metabolism, which are common to the mineral waters "Myroslava" and "Khrystyna", instead different from the effects of Naftussya water [6,12,13]. The purpose of this article is to find the specific effects of these waters.…”

“…Calculated the entropy (h) of the relative spectral powers (SP) of the HRV bands [7] as well as Kerdö's Vegetative Index [4]. We recorded simultaneosly with HRV EEG monopolar in 16 loci [13]. In addition, calculated Laterality Index and Shannon's entropy for PSD each Rhythm [7].…”

“Myroslava” and “Khrystyna” drinking mineral waters modulate the state of neuroendocrine-immune complex and metabolism in patients of Truskavets’ spa

“…Adhering to the principle "Ex experimento ad clinic", we continued research in this direction with the participation of patients of the resort. We showed that these mineral waters have favorable effects on metabolic, HRVs, EEGs, endocrine and immune parameters [8,9]. This article presents an integrated assessment of previously identified effects.…”

Experimental substantiation of the use of highly mineralized bromine chloride sodium water to correct the functional-metabolic continuum in rats with a model of distress

“…To correct the consequences of distress, it is necessary to use modulators to restore the balance of homeostasis reactions and not cause side reactions. Mineral waters (MW) of different chemical compositions are considered to be such natural nonspecific modulators [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”
