title: [A psychoautonomic syndrome in the residual period of a modern "mild" military craniocerebral trauma].
abstract: As many as 18 patients with a history of military service in Afghanistan, who suffered (7.2 years before on the average) commotion due to the explosion wave were examined. The vegetative status was studied by different methods including cardiointervalography, as was the patients' emotional and personality sphere. The data obtained were compared to those obtained in three control groups (practically healthy subjects; those who suffered a mild home craniocerebral injury; healthy subjects who fought in Afghanistan and were not victims to craniocerebral injury). The main group patients demonstrated noticeable changes in the vegetative tone, vegetative reactivity and vegetative supply to physical activity as well as a high level of anxiety, which forms vegetodystonia. Attempts were made to correct the psychovegetative syndrome by central electroanalgesia in the tranquilization mode (9-10 daily sessions). The lowering of the tension of regulatory body systems functioning and the reduction of anxiety and depression tendencies were recorded.
