Complex Application of Laser Radiation and Interference Currents in Medical Rehabilitation of Children with Neurogenic Dysfunction of the Bladder

Abstract

The article is devoted to the medical rehabilitation of children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction. Medical rehabilitation of children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction includes behavioral therapy, medication, biofeedback, and physical therapy. The popularity of physiotherapy methods is explained by the influence on the main links of pathogenesis, the absence of side effects and the possibility of use in young children. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of complex application of laser radiation and interference currents in the medical rehabilitation of children with PDMP. Materials and methods. Clinical observations and special studies were conducted in 40 children with hyperactive bladder aged 3 to 10 years. The main group consisted of 20 children who received laser therapy and interference currents, 20-a comparison group (without physical therapy). Results. Positive dynamics was observed by the middle of the course of medical rehabilitation, a third of patients showed a decrease in urgency and urgent urinary incontinence, there was a tendency to normalize the number of urinations per day, by the end of the course of medical rehabilitation, the dynamics of clinical symptoms was more pronounced and reliable. The favorable influence of interference currents and laser radiation on the clinical course of neurogenic bladder dysfunction, the state of urodynamics and speed characteristics of the act of urination was revealed. The feasibility of including interference currents and laser radiation in the medical rehabilitation of children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction is scientifically proved. Conclusion. Medical rehabilitation of children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction with the inclusion of laser radiation and interference currents has a favorable effect on the symptoms of hyperactivity of the bladder, indicators of uroflowmetry, cystometry and helps restore the normal rhythm of urination. As a result of the research, the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation with the inclusion of laser radiation and interference currents was 85.0 %, in the comparison group only 60.0 % (p < 0.05).
