World-wide occurrence of diabetes mellitus and its complications in the form of neuropathic and metabolic disorders implies the necessity of development and application of the new methods for their combined treatment, such as the low-frequency transdermal electrical stimulation with the use of the OMRON Е-4 myostimulator. This technique was shown to significantly alleviate the symptoms of pain syndrome and other neuropathic manifestations. Moreover, it facilitated the reduction of body weight and visceral fat content in such patients and thereby considerably decreased the risk of development of diabetic complications.
The results of treatment of patients (n = 100) suff ering from genital endometriosis are presented. The 1-st (control, n = 30) group of patients, against the background of standard drug therapy, received the Elevit® complex; The 2nd (main, n = 70) group of patients additionally received oxygen therapy procedures, in the form of oxygen inhalations from the Newlife apparatus and hirudotherapy using medical leeches. The course of treatment consisted of 10–12 procedures. The severity of pelvic pain in these patients was assessed on the YOUR scale in the period: before and after treatment, as well as after 1, 3, 6, 9 months. As a result, in patients in the 2-nd (main) group receiving complex treatment, the pain syndrome signifi cantly decreased, and it was also possible to predict its further decrease by two periods ahead, according to statistical regression analysis, compared with the treatment results in patients in 1-th (control) group.
This randomized controlled trial included a group of women (n = 40) with stress urinary incontinence. All patients received standard drug therapy and were randomized in two groups. The first (main, n = 18) group of patients received additional extracorporeal peripheral magnetic stimulation. The 2‑nd (control, n = 22) group of patients received an additional course of Kegel exercises. The state of the pelvic floor muscles was assessed according to perineometry data, and the general condition of patients was evaluated in accordance with the criteria that determine the patients’ quality of life. As a result of the course of complex treatment, clinical symptoms, as well as the indicators of the functional state of the pelvic floor muscles and quality of life criteria significantly improved in the patients of the first (main) group, compared with the results of treatment in the patients of the 2‑nd (control) group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
