title: [Local low pressure in rehabilitation of patients with meningitis].
abstract: We studied the validity and effectiveness of interrupted local negative pressure (ILNP) in rehabilitation of patients who had had acute meningitis. ILNP on the lower part of the body was applied in 28 meningitis convalescents having residual manifestations detected at tetrapolar rheography and psychovegetative testing. As the result of the treatment the patients felt better, their psychovegetative status improved, pulse blood filling of cerebral vessels increased while tonicity of microcirculation vessels diminished. Side effects of ILNP were not registered. Thus, ILNP is effective in convalescents after meningitis.
