Introduction. Modern sports places high demands on the functional systems of the body at all stages of the training and competitive processes. High loads create signifi cant background for the occurrence of musculoskeletal diseases, among which the myofascial syndrome (MFS) holds the leading position. MFS negatively affects the functional readiness of the sportsman′s body and is a risk factor for injuries of the musculoskeletal system. In this regard, timely treatment of MFS is important. It creates the conditions for the improvement of sports achievements, for health maintenance and sports longevity. Treatment of patients with MFS should include methods that normalize trophism and muscle tone. Given the problem of doping, the use of non-drug methods, including osteopathy, is preferable. The goal of research — to develop a system of monitoring and osteopathic correction of myofascial disorders (MFD) and to introduce it into the practice of medical and biological support for sportsmen of different categories and levels during the annual training process.Materials and methods. 93 sportsmen (45 women and 48 men), mean age 22,1±1,1 years, representing diffe rent sports were examined. The essence of the proposed system is regular clinical and electroneurophysiological monitoring of the body condition and preventive correction of myofascial disorders in order to exclude their infl uence on the success of sports activities.Results. It was established that the proposed system of monitoring and osteopathic correction led to a signifi cant reduction in clinical and electroneurophysiological manifestations both in local and in extensive forms of myofascial disorders, which allowed to maintain the optimal functional readiness of sportsmen throughout the entire annual training cycle.Conclusion. The system of monitoring and correction of MFS with the use of osteopathic treatment can be one of the elements of medical and biological support for sportsmen during the annual training process.

The data show extraordinary sensitivity of neuromuscular system of children to various physiological and pathological stimuli, occurring in the body in the ontogenesis or diseases, and multifactorial origin of the pain syndrome in tics.The results suggest that one of the main mechanisms of development of pathological process is dysfunction of descending inhibitory control. However, further clarification of the type of polysynaptic reflex excitability in a certain patient is needed, that will allow to develop individualized approach to the choice of therapeutic interventions.

Introduction. Enuresis is a pathological condition, manifested by involuntary urination during sleep or in the wakeful state. It is believed that enuresis is associated with unformed or impaired self-control skills for emptying the bladder. The significance of the problem is determined by the widespread prevalence of pathology, social and psychological maladaptation of children with enuresis. An important role in this plays the development of their personality by an accentuated type often, difficult adaptability, and lack of ability to integrate into the team, especially into the semi or closed type. According to modern concepts, enuresis can be caused by the following reasons: delayed maturation of the nervous system, urological pathology and urinary tract infection, impaired activation reaction during sleep, impaired rhythm of secretion of antidiuretic hormone, adverse heredity, psychological factors and stress. The results of Russian and foreign scientists studies revealed the polyetiological character of enuresis and the impossibility, in most cases, of identifying its obvious cause. This explains the relatively wide variability of outcomes: from spontaneous cure to apparent resistance to all existing treatments. The significant prevalence of enuresis, the relative severity of this pathology and the lack of effective treatment methods necessitate the search for alternative methods of therapy or fundamentally new approaches to using existing ones, which is impossible without a thorough study of this disease etiopathogenesis.The goal of research — is to study the neurophysiological characteristics of enuresis in children.Materials and methods. Prospective controlled study was conducted in Kazan State Medical Academy — a branch of the RMACPE (Kazan) in the period 2003–2019 years. To study enuresis mechanisms we carried out a comprehensive clinical-electroneurophysiological examination of 93 children aged 5 to 15 years, suffering from bedwetting. The control group consisted of 40 healthy children who were comparable in age and gender to those in the main group. All patients underwent a comprehensive examination, which included the study of complaints, anamnesis, clinical and electroneurophysiological research.Results. Clinical examination of children with enuresis revealed signs of minimal cerebral dysfunction. An electrophysiological examination made it possible to determine an increase in the refl ex excitability of brain stem structures against the background of a decrease in downward inhibitory control.Conclusion. The predominance of excitation processes over inhibition in the central nervous system is mainly observed in children with enuresis. The weakness of the inhibitory mechanisms due to constitutional factors, pathology of the nervous system that took place earlier, allows making an assumption about the diffuse nature of the disorders of the nervous system in this urination disorder.

Goal of research - the study aims to examine the clinical and neurophysiological criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of osteopathic treatment for patients with myofascial pain.Materials and methods. The authors conducted a complex clinical and instrumental examination of 40 people of working age with myofascial pain syndrome of the humeroscapular region. The control group included 20 presumably healthy volunteers of the same age and sex as the main group of subjects of the study. Each patient was subjected to clinical and neurological examinations, neuro-orthopedic and osteopathic examinations, and psychological testing. The electro-neurophysiological part of the work consisted in the study of somatosensory evoked potentials, and polysynaptic refl ex excitability.Results. The authors determined a correlation between the data of the psychological study, the parameters of the blinking refl ex and somatosensory evoked potentials.Conclusion. The data obtained from the complex clinical and neurophysiological examination allow substantiating the pain syndrome before and after treatment. The data can be used as one of the criteria for diagnosis and effectiveness of the treatment of myofascial, in particular, humeroscapular, pain syndrome.
