[Low-intensive laser irradiation in combined treatment of lower limbs atherosclerotic lesions].
Seventy-one subjects entered this study. The control group consisted of 12 healthy subjects, the comparative group included 15 patients who received standard therapy of vascular diseases but without physiotherapy. The study group consisted of 44 patients whose treatment was supplemented with laser irradiation. Angiography, ultrasonic dopplerography, laser flowmetry, oxygenometry were applied for control of treatment efficacy. Regional ischemia was evaluated with detection of pO2 of foot. LT increased oxygenation of foot soft tissues in patients with low primary pO2 and decreased in ones with higher. As a result the number of patients with low pO2 (0 < pO2 < 20) decreased from 13.7 to 4.5%, with middle pO2 (20 < pO2 < 40) increased from 27.3 to 50.0%, with high pO2 (pO2 = 40) decreased from 59.0 to 45.5%. Redistribution in favor of 20 < pO2 < 40 is regarded as normalizing effect of LT. It is concluded that LT increases oxygenation of foot soft tissues in patients with low primary pO2 and decreased in ones with higher.
