[Efficacy of low intensity laser irradiation and sodium nedocromil in the complex treatment of patients with bronchial asthma].
OBJECTIVE
To study efficiency of low-intensity laser radiation (LILR) and sodium nedokromil (tailed) in combined treatment of bronchial asthma (BA).


METHODS
The choice of the treatment depended on the activity of bronchial inflammation and the presence of contraindications. Laser was used on the skin in the area of the lung and great vessels projection, endobronchially. Tailed was given in inhalations and irrigations of the tracheobronchial tree during therapeutic fibrobronchoscopy. These methods were used in combined treatment of 220 BA patients.


RESULTS
Combined use of LILR and tailed proved highly effective and safe in BA. Cytological markers of cell reactions of the bronchopulmonary system on the action of LILR were revealed.


CONCLUSIONS
Availability, good reproducability, cost-effect efficacy and safety make LILR one of the most beneficial nonpharmacological treatments for bronchial asthma.
