[Cerebro-autonomic correlations in patients with early stages of hypertension during reflexotherapy].

Seventy patients with Stages I and II hypertensive disease underwent electrocardiographic studies of the emotional syndrome and central hemodynamics prior to and following reflexotherapy. Characteristics of the psychovegetative syndrome were identified in the patients. A significant antihypertensive effect and normalized psychological and vegetative parameters observed after reflexotherapy suggest that acupuncture is beneficial in the treatment at early stages of essential hypertension.

[Possibility of correcting interhemispheric EEG asymmetry in the process of prevention of recurrences of alcoholism by reflexotherapy].

Patients suffering from chronic alcoholism were examined for the dynamics of the spectral characteristics of the EEG and the psychoemotional status in order to delineate the sings that may precede ++ the disease relapses or exacerbation of the syndromes related to alcohol addiction. Possibilities of functional correction by reflexotherapy of brain bioelectric activity according to the interhemispheric+ asymmetry of the EEG are reviewed. Methods of preventive treatment and prophylaxis of the development of alcohol addiction are offered.

[Independent training of the students in reflexotherapy of nervous system diseases].

Based on many years of experience with the training in reflexotherapy, the authors have worked out staged mastering of the material, with emphasis laid on independent seizing of practical skills. The possibilities of mastering diagnostic instruments employed in acupuncture have been widened. The tests to control the acquired knowledge and practical skills have been suggested.

[Effects of reflexotherapy and drugs on the secretory function of the stomach in children with chronic gastroduodenitis].

In 156 children suffering from chronic gastroduodenitis, secretory gastric function was found to be impaired in the stage of exacerbation. Comparative assessment of different methods of that impairment correction revealed antacid therapy to be of the highest efficacy. Meanwhile reflexotherapy turned out the most effective approach during antirelapse treatment.

[Comparative analysis of the clinical effectiveness of reflexotherapy and psychopharmacotherapy in the treatment of neurotic disorders in dermatology patients].

Comparative studies on the efficacy of a multiple-modality treatment of patients with chronic dermatoses (atopic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis), including reflexotherapy (RT) and drug psychotherapy (DPT), have shown high clinical efficacy of RT in cases with hysterical and moderately expressed anxiety-depressive disorders and of DPT in pronounced depressive hypochondriac disturbances. Unlike DPT, RT has not been associated with side effects. Clinical results have been confirmed by the data of comprehensive clinical and psychological examinations of the patients in the course of treatment.

[Neurophysiologic changes during the treatment of endogenous depression by reflexotherapy].

Superficial EEG and visual evoked potentials (EP) were studied in 28 patients with endogenous depression treated with reflexotherapy in order to study the neurophysiological correlates of its therapeutic action. A stepwise development of reflexotherapeutic effect was determined. The first stage is that of unspecific activation EEG and EP changes correlating with activating and stimulating clinical effects. At the 2nd stage clinical improvement with proportional reduction of all the components of depressive syndrome run parallel to the normalization of neurophysiological indices.

[Reflexotherapy and carbon dioxide baths in the complex treatment of patients with circulatory encephalopathy of arteriosclerotic etiology].

Overall 106 patients with atherosclerotic cccccccirculatory encephalopathy (DE) were examined for changes in the EEG, REG and in certain psychological parameters (attention, memory, "associative" thinking) before and after acupuncture and carbon dioxide baths. In patients with stage I and stage II DE (in 93 and 80%, respectively), the clinical improvement was accompanied by positive changes such as a rise of alpha-activity, decrease of pathological waves and frequencies on the EEG, decline of the vascular tone and improvement of the blood content on the REG in addition to the shortening of the time required for the search for numbers according to Schulte's tables, a decrease of errors made during calculation, an increase of words and the family of words in the memorization and "associative" thinking tests. The data obtained may attest to the amelioration of cerebral function and hemodynamics because of the rehabilitation treatment.

[Autonomic disorders in the clinical picture of gastric and duodenal peptic ulcer and their acupuncture reflexotherapy].

Patients with peptic ulcer demonstrate diverse psychovegetative disorders that complicate the course of the somatic disease. Depending on the intensity of psychovegetative disorders the following syndromes were distinguished: astheno-neurotic, astheno-hypochondriac, astheno-depressive and psycho-vegetative with organic microsymptomatology. The use of laser puncture in multimodality therapy of peptic ulcer patients favours correction of vegetative disorders and normalization of regenerative processes occurring in the gastroduodenal system.

[The reflexotherapy of patients with respiratory allergoses].

The paper is concerned with the results of medicamentous, reflex and combined methods of the treatment of 685 patients suffering from respiratory allergoses. Corporeal acupuncture (CA), intal specific hyposensitization (SH) increased 100 times the resistance to allergens; auricular acupuncture (AA), combination of CA with intal increased it 100-fold; SH and CA 1000-fold. CA significantly reduced whereas SH raised the content of IgE in plasma. The content of IgE remained practically unchanged when SH was coupled with CA. The latter one significantly raised plasma cAMP and decreased plasma cGMP. The highest clinical efficacy was attained with the use of combined CA, SH and intal.
