INFLUENCE OF CHILDREN''S TENOTEN ON PSYCHOLOGICAL STATUS OF CHILDREN WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
Bronchial asthma is a relevant medical and socio-economic problem. Co-occurring mental dysfunction is associated with severe and unstable course of diseases, reduction in quality of life and poor adherence to somatic treatment. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of the children's tenoten on the psychological status of children suffering from asthma. Materials and methods: A comparative randomized study of treatment outcomes of 150 children with asthma, aged 7-12, who received only basic therapy (the second control group, n=50), basic therapy in combination with physical methods (the first control group, n=50), and basic therapy with physical methods and course intake of children's tenoten (study group, n=50) was undertaken. Children's tenoten was prescribed 1 tablet 3 times a day sublingually, within 3 months, 2 courses. Results and discussion: The inclusion of children's tenoten in the treatment of bronchial asthma prevents the development of psychosomatic disorders, as evidenced by the results obtained in the form of reliably positive dynamics of vegetative homeostasis, mental state (reliable decrease in anxiety level) and the quality of life of children of the main group in comparison with other children from examined groups.
