Use of low dose lasers in physiatry
The prospective study comprised 105 patients
treated for six months in the out-patient and in-patient
institutions suffering from the syndrome manifested in pain
and disturbed functions due to the diseases of the nerve-muscle
and bone-connective tissue systems. The group of patients
with the vertebro-basilar syndrome was selected by a single-blind
controlled trial while the rest constituted the group whose
results were preliminary presented. Two modes of laser photobiostimulation
were applied: local stimulation and stimulation of acupuncture
points. Evaluation of effects were performed by following
up subjective troubles, clinical examinations, laboratory
analyses and in patients with the vertebro-basilar syndrome
by rheoencephalography in addition. The application of the
mentioned methods in different pathological states have
shown positive results in 78% of patients with analgesic,
spasmolytic and antiadematous effects. In patients with
the vertebro-basilar syndrome disappearance of subjective
troubles was followed by the improved perfusion in the vertebro-basilar
system with the mean increase of the amplitude of the rheoencephalographic
curve of 0.063 +/- 0.018 oms and the mean shortening of
the anacrotic phase of 0.048 +/- 0.019 seconds
