title: [The hormone level of the blood plasma in neurodermatitis patients and its dynamics during the performance of nondrug pathogenetic therapy].
abstract: Concentrations of hormones of the hypophysis, thyroid gland and adrenal cortex were measured in blood plasma of those patients presenting with neurodermatitis. A statistically significant reduction in the blood content of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and hydrocortisone and rise in aldosterone, adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), triiodothyronine and thyroxin were revealed in this patient population. Combined non-drug therapy treatments involving endovascular helium-neon laser therapy and EHF electromagnetic radiation resulted in improvement in more than half of the measurements done: blood levels of TSH and hydrocortisone got increased while those of ACTH, thyroxin and aldosterone decreased, which fact correlated with the positive clinical picture of the condition in question.
