Objective:
We have studied the influence of modern methods of acupuncture -EHF-radiation -
on the processes of microcirculation and regional blood flow in experiment and
clinic.
Methods:
We studied EHF-puncture in experiment (3 rabbits, 10
volunteers) and in rehabilitation of 94 patients with joint pathology and 25
children with cranio-vertebral pathology (aged 4-76).
EHF-radiation frequency range was 53-78 MHz, radiation
power was 0.2-l0 mcWt. The EHF-puncture was performed
at acupuncture points. Microcirculation was studied using thermodiagnostic
methods. The blood flow state was estimated by the results of rheoencefalography and transcranial
dopplerography. Results: No complications were
observed. Symmetric increase of luminescence on the average 1, 5° was
registered since the first minute of EHF-radiation,
the maximal warming up (on the average 3°) was marked 15 minutes after the
beginning of EHP-radiation. In 70 % of patients a significant decrease of the
blood flow gradient between healthy and sore hemispheres and neutralisation of reduced blood supply of vertebrabazilar zone after the course of EHF-puncture (p
< 0,02) were registered. Conclusion: EHF-radiation renders homeostatic
effect on the organism, processes of microcirculation and regional blood flow
in particular. As the results of rehabilitation including EHF-puncture in
patients with orthopedic
pathology has
shown the effectiveness of this method. It can be recommended to include in
rehabilitation complex.
