[Combined use of hydrogen sulfide baths and galvanopeloid therapy with magnetolaser radiation in osteoarthrosis patients at a health resort].
The study included 174 patients with osteoarthrosis (OA) of the first and second x-ray stage, subclinical or mild reactive synovitis. The patients received sanatorium treatment including hydrogen sulphide balneotherapy, galvanopeloid therapy with sulphide muds of Imeretinsk deposit (Sochi) by the segmental-local technique, prior magnetic laser radiation in some cases. Anesthetic, anti-inflammatory effects were found which proved highest in consecutive use of magnetolaser radiation and galvanopeloid therapy as shown by normalization of autonomic function, improvement of peripheral circulation, inhibition of proteolysis due to antioxidant and adaptogenic actions.
