FEATURES OF COMPLEX TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH VERTEBROGENIC VEGETOVASCULAR DISORDERS
Background. The prevalence of the disease, its chronically recurrent progress with inclination to be progredient cause a necessity to develop effective treatment of vertebrogenic vegetovascular disorders. The treatment of patients with vegetovascular disorders should be multipurpose and directed to all of the pathogenesis chains. For the investigated vegetovascular disorders are vertebrogenic, the therapeutic influences should be referred to a stricken part of the spine and to extravertebral signs. The object of the investigation is to design pathogenically justified methods of vegetovascular disorder treatment at vertebrogenic syndromes. Materials and methods. The authors surveyed and treated 75 patients with vertebrogenic syndromes, of which 30 people with brachialgic neurovascular syndromes and 45 patients with vertebral artery syndrome in its either functional or organic stage. The complex treatment included mechanical, biomechanical, reflex, physiotherapeutic and drug influences. Results and conclusions. According to the authors’ observations, an effective method of affecting vegetovascular disorders is ischemic compression of painful muscular sealing and of osteosclerosis zones in combination with isometric traction and traction massage of the cervical spine. In cases of brachialgic vegetovascular syndromes it is effective to use methods of hand immobilization with post-isometric relaxation of muscles of the cervical region and of the upper limbs.
