title: [The effectiveness of short courses of balneopeloidtherapy of dorsopathies based at the "Kliuchi Health Resort"].
abstract: Natural therapeutic factors are successfully used at the Klyuchi health resort for the rehabilitation of the patients presenting with dorsopathies. A total of 120 patients with this condition were examined for the evaluation of their algic and psychovegetative status before and after the balneopeloid therapeutic treatment in combination with transcranial electrostimulation of the brain. Serum serotonin levels were measured during the same periods. It was shown that balneopeloid therapy significantly reduced the intensity of pain, the degree of anxiety and depression, expression of vegetative disorders. Simultaneously, the quality of life of the patients markedly improved and blood serotonin level increased. It was shown that beneficial effect of shortened 14 day courses of balneopeloid therapyon the patients presenting with dorsopathies is similar to that of 21 day courses, but the cost effectiveness of the former is much higher.
