title: [Chrono- and reflexotherapy for the treatment of the biliary tract dysfunctions].
abstract: The objective of this work was to develop a scientifically sound rationale for the method of reflex correction of biliary tract dysfunction based on chronobiological data concerning functioning of the acupuncture points corresponding to biliary ducts. It was shown that patients presenting with biliary dyskinesia (i.e., forming desynchronism) experience a shift of both skin temperature and electrical resistance at the acupuncture points. The chronoreflexotherapeutic technique employed in this study makes it possible to rapidly restore disturbed biorhythms of functioning of the biliary system, normalize the motor-evacuating activity of the gallbladder, and eliminate clinical manifestations of the disease.
