title: [Effectiveness of the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers by low-intensity electromagnetic (laser) radiation].
abstract: The effectiveness of treatment of ulcer patients with various types of laser radiation by the argon, heliun-neon and crypton lasers was studied in 137 patients. The results of laser treatment were compared with those in controls constituting 60 patients who were treated with commonly used therapeutic methods. The sparing techniques of laser therapy promote much earlier cicatrization of gastric and duodenal ulcers, shorter terms of hospital stay and reduction of temporary working disability. Laser therapy leads to a decrease in the number of disease recurrences in the first two months and has no significant influence on the incidence of recurrences in the remote period.
