Introduction. Degenerative-dystrophic changes in the spine are the most common chronic human diseases. Pronounced clinical manifestations of vertebrogenic diseases are observed during active labor activity and represent one of the most frequent causes of temporary disability. It is also known that any pain syndromes are accompanied by the development of psychovegetative disorders, which reduces the effectiveness of treatment. In recent years, there has been a reasonable increase in the interest of the medical community to the non-drug treatment methods. It is caused by the polypharmacotherapy side effects, an increased numbers of allergic reactions, problems with polypragmasia, and a low level of compliance. At the same time, the question of the possibility of various non-drug treatment methods combining is quite acute.The goal of research is to substantiate the clinical effectiveness of the combined application of osteopathic correction and reflexotherapy in the complex treatment of patients with dorsopathy at the cervical-thoracic level.Materials and methods. A prospective controlled randomized study was conducted on the basis of the medical clinics of LLC «Family Health» (Kazan) and ANO «Center for SEB assistance» (Kazan) from April 2018 to May 2019. The study involved 52 people with dorsopathy at the cervical-thoracic level, aged from 25 to 45 years. In accordance with the exclusion criteria, 7 people dropped out of the study. The remaining patients (45 people), depending on the used treatment method, were divided by a simple randomization method using a random number generator into three groups of 15 people. The first group (main group) received osteopathic correction and reflexotherapyon the background of standard drug therapy; the second and the third groups (control groups) received only osteopathic correction orreflexotherapy, respectively, on the background of standard drug therapy. The osteopathic examination was performed for all patients regardless of the group, before and after the course of therapy, with the formation of an osteopathic conclusion.Also there was the estimation of the degree of pain syndrome severity,the asthenia, and the degree of accumulated emotional and energy charge that does not get out in a person.Results. It was found in the course of the study that the inclusion of osteopathic correction and reflexotherapy in the complex therapy of patients with dorsopathy at the cervical-thoracic level is clinically more effective than the isolated use of these methods. Such complex therapy allows to achieve a more significant reduction in the severity of the pain syndrome by VAS (p<0,05), relief of internal emotional tension (p<0,05), and increase the effectiveness of correction of dominant somatic dysfunction. Based on the obtained data, it could be assumed that reflexotherapy potentiates the effects of osteopathic correction.Conclusion. Based on the study, it can be concluded that the combination of osteopathic correction and reflexotherapy in the treatment of patients with dorsopathy at the cervical-thoracic level increases the clinical effectiveness of the standard drug therapy. At the same time, it is worth noting the potentiating effect of the combined use of two non-medicinal methods. The question of combining of various non-drug treatment methods is quite acute today, so this study will be continued.

OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH. To assess the clinical effectiveness of phlebotrophic drug Detralex (Micronized purifiedflavonoid fraction (MPFF)) during complex treatment of patients with acute hemorrhoids. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A comparative analysis of treatment outcomes of 293 patients with acute hemorrhoids was conducted. All patients were divided into two groups for further clinical observations. Standard drug therapy was performedfor 145 patients (group I). For 148 patients (group II), in addition to the standard treatment, phlebotrophic drug Detralex was additionally initiated. Research program included detection of content of acute inflammatory phase reactants and pro-inflammatory cytokines in blood plasma, evaluation of pain syndrome severity (VRS) and quality of life parameters (SF-36 questionnaire). RESULTS. Initiation of MPFF with complex treatment of patients with acute hemorrhoids was found to be contributed to faster elimination of edema and inflammation, a decrease in severity of hemorrhoids thrombosis, relief of pain syndrome and improvement in patients'quality of life, along withwell-marked regression of laboratory markers of inflammatory reaction This allows to increase the number of good outcomes of acute hemorrhoids treatment from 66,2% to 89,9%, that is by 23,7% and to reduce the number of unsatisfactory outcomes from 4,2% to 1,3%, that is by 2,9%. CONCLUSION. Inclusion of Detralex into program of acute hemorrhoids treatment contributes to a faster elimination of clinical and laboratory manifestations of the disease and allows improving the results of treatment for this category of patients.

Currently, an infectious corneal ulcer, a defect in the corneal epithelium, remains one of the main causes of monocular blindness,which necessitates the development of new effective methods of treatment. Aim. To develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the technique for the complex application of preformed physical factors of local andsegmental action in patients with corneal ulcers. Material and methods. The study involved 85 patients with corneal ulcers aged 18 to 60 years divided into three groups. Patients ofthe control group (29 people) received the standard drug therapy, the comparison group (29 people) underwent a course of magnetophoresiswith solcoseryl on closed eyelids against the background of standard drug therapy, patients of the main group (27 people)received standard drug therapy, magnetophoresis and low-frequency electrostatic fields on the collar area. All patients were evaluatedfor visual acuity, the size of the ulcer and the area of stromal infiltration. The subjective severity of pain syndrome (VAS scale),psychoemotional state (SAN test) were assessed. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using SPSS Statistics v.25. Results. Immediately after treatment, the use of preformed physical factors made it possible to shorten the period of the ulcer epithelializationand suppression of the inflammatory reaction in the cornea, which significantly improved the clinical and functionalparameters of the eye, as well as considerably reduced the severity of pain syndrome in comparison with standard drug treatment. Conclusion. In the long-term period, the use of preformed physical factors contributed to a significant decrease in the size of thecorneal infiltration area (residual opacities) and an improvement in the quality of life of patients according to the General MentalWellbeing scale, which exceeded the effectiveness of standard drug therapy, while the combined use of a low-frequency electrostaticfield and magnetophoresis allowed to noticeably improve the indicators of visual acuity in comparison with standard drug therapyand isolated use of magnetophoresis.

Background. Relevance of elaboration of lumbosacral radiculopathy (LSR) treatment methods is сonditioned by widespread of this pathology. Pain syndrome (PS) reducing activity and life quality of workable patients is the most prevailing clinical manifestation of this disease. Сonservative treatment methods of LSR directed to decrease pain, oedema and compression of nerve roots as well as contributing to сonductivity improvement include medication, physiotherapeutic and orthopaedic treatment. Aims: Clinical neurophysiological justification of combined use of interference therapy (IT) and spine traction (ST) in complex treatment of vertebral LSR. Materials and methods. The first-control group (n=32) who were treated by using ST as a treatment. The second ― treatment group (n=32) included those who were treated by using the IT and ST on the same day. All patients had radicular syndromes. All patients passed the lumbar MRI scan. PS was estimated according to the visual-analogic scale (VAS) and McGills questionnaire. Estimation of life quality of patients was based on Roland-Morris questionnaire. Electromyography registered dynamics of impulse conduction on motor fibres, as well as parametеrs of compound muscle action potential and H-reflex. Results. Positive effect of combined use of interference therapy with spine traction in complex treatment of vertebral radiculopathy patients are proved. It has been established that the therapeutic effect of the complex application of IT and ST lies in the improvement in the afferent and efferent links of the neuromotor apparatus, as well as the functional state of the spinal alpha-motoneurons associated with the acceleration of the regenerative processes. Conclusion. Results of the clinical neurophysiological investigation, carried out before and after rehabilitative treatment allow to recommend combined therapy of IT and ST for treatment of vertebral LSR.

Introduction. According to the defi nition of the World Health Organization (WHO), tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common type of primary headache. Rehabilitation of patients with chronic tension-type headache continues to be an important socio-medical problem. Its main goal is the most complete restoration of the functions of the musculoskeletal system of the neck, the correction of vascular and psychoemotional problems, and the patient′s return to his everyday life and work. As a rule, the main emphasis in the treatment of such patients is placed primarily on drug therapy. At the same time, practitioners are faced with a number of problems — the low effectiveness of the treatment, the nonpersistency of the results, allergic reactions, polypharmacy and others. All this suggests that there is a need for differentiated rehabilitation treatment of patients with tension-type headache with the use of various non-pharaceutical methods. The goal of research — to evaluate the clinical effi cacy of complex non-drug therapy in patients with tension-type headache.Materials and methods. The prospective controlled randomized study, which was conducted from October 2017 to March 2019 at the Department of Medical Rehabilitation of the Bashkir State Medical University, included 110 patients with TTH from the age of 20 to 45 years. All patients, depending on the treatment methodology used, were randomly divided into two groups of 55 people. Patients of the main group received complex rehabilitation treatment with the use of non-drug methods: osteopathic correction, acupuncture and exercise therapy. Patients in the control group received treatment in accordance with the standard of medical care for TTH (analgesics, non-steroidal antiinfl ammatory drugs, antidepressants, vasoactive and nootropic drugs). The study of the clinical effectiveness of the therapy included: an assessment of the severity of pain with the use of a visual analogue scale and a tensoalgimeter, a goniometric study with an assessment of the volume of active movements in the cervical spine, transcranial ultrasound dopplerography with an assessment of quantitative indicators in the system of the middle cerebral artery.Results. The use of complex non-drug therapy in patients with TTH compared with standard drug therapy leads to a signifi cantly more important decrease in the severity of pain, an increase in pain threshold, an increase in the volume of active movements in the cervical spine. The effect of non-drug treatment methods on blood fl ow in the system of the middle cerebral artery is comparable in its effectiveness with the use of pharmaceutical drugs.Conclusion. The proposed complex rehabilitation treatment of patients with TTH with the use of non-drug methods has shown clinical effi cacy which is comparable, and in a number of indicators, superior to the effectiveness of conventional medical treatment. All this determines the necessity of wider implementation of multidisciplinary non-drug treatment of patients with this pathology.

120 men (51,5±2,5 years old) with arterial hypertension stage П-Ш were examined. From the first days of stay of these patients in the clinic, a physical therapy low-intensity UHF radiation frequency of 1000 MHz with a power of 0.1 μw was included in the complex therapy. On the background of a drug therapy, there was a statistically significant increase of NO level by 12,4% (p=0,039) and ACE by 11,8% (p=0,05). A month later after treatment, the authors observed a decrease in the concentration of the soluble form of receptors of the 1st type to AHT-II by 22,4% (p=0,017). In the group of patients who received additional physical therapy, there was a decrease in renin activity by 19,3% (p=0,021), RAHT-Π by 18,8% (p=0,023). A month later, in these patients there was a further decrease in the concentration of RAHT-II by 52,8% (p=0,001), ACE by 12,3% (p=0,037), AHT-II by 13,4% (p=0,033), an endothelin level by 10,7% (p=0,051) and hsCRP by 13,2% (p=0,044). An increase in the concentration of NO level by 11.4% (p=0.05) was revealed. Thus, the use of low-intensity UHF physiotherapy in treatment of hypertension contributes to a reduction of endo-thelial dysfunction and vasopressor activity mechanisms with preservation of the achieved effects within one month after discharge the patient from hospital.

Introduction. Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease characterized by a constant or periodic increase in intraocular pressure, a decrease of visual fields and visual acuity, and by a special form of optic nerve atrophy with excavation in the disc area. The reflection of this slowly fl owing atrophy is a disturbance in the visual field and a complete irreversible loss of visual function. The prevalence of the disease increases with increasing age. The main methods of treatment are medical and surgical. Non-penetrating operations are recognized as the safest methods of surgical treatment of glaucoma. The most common complications of such operations include: detachment of the choroid, small anterior chamber syndrome, hyphema, cicatricial changes in the filtration cushion. Based on the analysis of literature data, it can be assumed that the inclusion of osteopathic correction in the complex therapy of patients with operated glaucoma can increase the effectiveness of therapy.The aim of the research was to study the clinical efficacy of osteopathic correction in the complex treatment of patients operated on primary open-angle glaucoma.Materials and methods. The study involved 20 patients (20 eyes) aged 70 to 75 years with developed and advanced stages of primary open-angle glaucoma, who underwent surgical treatment. The main (10 people) and control (10 people) groups were formed by simple randomization. Participants in the main group received standard medical therapy and osteopathic correction, while participants in the control group received only medical therapy. Changes in the following clinical parameters were evaluated: visual acuity, visual fi eld, intraocular pressure, thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer, and severity of pain syndrome. Indicators were recorded at the beginning of the study (2 weeks after surgery) and at the end of the study (2–3 months after surgery).Results. Patients receiving osteopathic correction as part of the complex therapy after surgery of primary openangle glaucoma are characterized by a statistically significant (p<0,05) decrease in the severity of pain syndrome, an increase in the magnitude of the visual field and of the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer.Conclusion. The obtained results suggest the effectiveness of the inclusion of osteopathic correction in the complex treatment of patients with operated on primary open-angle glaucoma. It is recommended to continue the study with a larger sample size.
