[The microwave therapy of patients with duodenal peptic ulcer who took part in the cleanup of the aftermath of the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station].
With the purpose of increasing effectiveness of therapy and preventive treatment of those patients having been in the zone of the Chernobyl accident, microwave resonance therapy (MRT) was tried in a multiple-modality treatment of this patient population. There were 36 male patients with a mean age of 37.7 years. The control group was 39 patients being representative in terms of all the main signs. Resonance frequency was individually adjusted according to individual reactivity of the body assessed by means of intracutaneous test with prodigiozane. MRT was applied in the ranges of 73 to 76 and 55 to 58 GC to hypo- and hyper-reactants respectively. After the multiple-modality treatment, 79.7% of the main group patients showed a stable positive clinical effect with their ulcers having been completely healed, compared with 54.3% in the controls. High reparative effect in the main group was accompanied with normalization of the vegetative nervous system status.
