title: [The inhalation use of hydrogen sulfide water in the health resort rehabilitation of osteoarthrosis patients living in areas with radionuclide contamination].
abstract: A randomized trial of 77 patients with polyosteoarthrosis of stage I-II was made in two groups which received hydrogen sulfide balneotherapy according to conventional regimen (controls) and inhalations of hydrogen sulfide water. Ultrasonic hydrogen sulfide inhalations are not inferior in efficacy to conventional treatment, but balneoreaction occurred less frequently. High bioavailability of hydrogen sulfide in inhalations provides antiinflammatory, analgetic, trophic effects, stimulates general and immune reactivity of the body.
