Influence of magnetotherapy on various systems of the body and on the process of wound healing in children with cleft lip and palate

Abstract

In this article we present the results of magnetic therapy on the wound healing process in children with cleft lip and palate after cheiloplasty surgery. At the same time, there is an improvement in metabolic processes in tissues, which contributes to their proper nutrition and restoration.Inflammation and associated soft tissue swelling are eliminated. Locally, blood vessels dilate and blood supply improves. The pain is relieved.Magnetotherapy is a method of physiotherapy that uses magnetic fields of varying strengths and frequencies for the treatment, rehabilitation or prevention of diseases. To carry it out, stationary and portable devices have been developed. The principle is simple: one or more electromagnetic applicators are installed on certain areas of the body, or the patient is placed in a large-diameter magnetic chamber or on a special mattress. The method is based on the fact that a magnetic field affects electrically charged particles moving in the human body. They are found in biological fluids - blood, lymph, cytoplasm of cells. Under the influence of a magnet, weak electric currents arise in these environments. They cause many responses: metabolism, blood properties, the speed of transmission of nerve impulses change, microcirculation and the delivery of oxygen and micronutrients improve. This leads to the following effects: reduction of tissue swelling, suppression of the inflammatory process, local anesthesia, reduction of blood viscosity, normalization of blood pressure, acceleration of healing and tissue restoration, stimulation of the immune system.
