title: [Nonpharmacological therapy of duodenal ulcer in elderly patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To validate principles and policy of non-pharmacological treatment of duodenal ulcer (DLU) with onset at old age, to study medico-social efficacy of DU non-pharmacological treatment.
  
  
  METHODS
  The study was made of 234 cases of DU in patients aged 61-65 years (mean age 63.2 years). DU was diagnosed in them at an old age.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Non-pharmacological treatment of old DU patients was performed at three stages: outpatient basic treatment, inpatient rehabilitation with nonpharmacological methods, sanatorium remission and nonspecific resistance consolidation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Nonpharmacological measures by 3-stage scheme have higher medico-social efficacy compared to one-stage management.
