[Changes in the immune status of peptic ulcer patients after combined treatment including deep massage].
Unsatisfactory results of ulcer drug medication necessitate introduction of new approaches to treatment of this disease. We tried massage and therapeutic exercise as alternative methods of ulcer treatment as they provide biologically validated ways to mobilization of the body defenses. The results of our studies showed that deep reflex muscular massage and exercises for extension of the skeletal muscles are not inferior in effectiveness in ulcer than routine drug therapy. Therefore, the massage and the exercises are advisable adjuvant modalities in sparing drug medication improving immune status and treatment outcomes in patients with ulcer in exacerbation.
