[Clinical assessment of rheumatoid arthritis after cerebral hemisphere exposure to light and color stimuli].
With the purpose of finding out the extent to which the right and left cerebral hemispheres are influential on the course of the inflammatory process, as many as 38 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were subjected to differentiated stimulation of receptor fields of the right and left hemispheres in the retina with red and green light. A decline occurred in the activity of the inflammatory process in activation of the right hemisphere while activation of the left hemisphere resulted in the rise of the above activity.
