AIM: To study effectiveness of short courses of intensive peloidobalneotherapy in duodenal ulcer (DU). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and biopsy before and after the treatment course were made in 124 DU patients. Depending on timing of moor applications, pine and pearl baths, the patients were divided into 2 groups. Patients of group 1 received procedures daily with interval 4-5 hours (intensive course), patients of group 2 were treated each other day. RESULTS: 3-4 weeks of the treatment produced a response in both groups but in group 2 there were no signs of active inflammation in gastric and duodenum mucosa. 2 years later, patients of group 1 had histological evidence of chronic inflammation exacerbation. The latter was absent in group 2. CONCLUSION: An intensive course of peloidobalneotherapy results in attenuation of chronic gastroduodenal inflammation in DU patients.
