[Effectiveness of climatic health resort complex treatment of patients with pneumoconiosis and dust-induced bronchitis using underwater massage shower].
The article provides the results of studies of 167 cases affected with occupationally-related pneumoconiosis and dust bronchitis. 117 patients were treated with complex resort therapy including under-water massage, and 50 patients were given the same complex therapy without shower massage. The effectiveness of the therapeutic techniques were evaluated basing on both objective and subjective criteria, including supplementary laboratory and functional techniques. The results were positive in both groups, but in the major group, the favourable shifts were more expressed but statistically were not reliable. Thus, the underwater shower massage may be regarded as a positive but not decisive factor in the complex resort treatment of occupational diseases of lungs.
