[The immunomodulating effect of microwaves and of an ultrahigh-frequency electrical field in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus].
Bitemporal exposure of the adrenals to UHF electric field and decimeter waves was studied as a component of combined therapy for stage I-II chronic SLE. The best therapeutic response was achieved at bitemporal employment of UHF electric field directed to the system hypothalamus-hypophysis. This may be due to enhanced glucocorticoid activity of the adrenals and immunomodulating effect: a rise in the T-lymphocytes number, humoral immunity suppression. Antiinflammatory action was seen from a positive trend in clinical symptoms. Less therapeutic response to the direct stimulation of the adrenals with decimeter waves stems from the deficient function of the latter consequent to long-term corticosteroid therapy.
