Laser therapy in the complex sanatorium rehabilitation programme for patients with chronic pulmonary diseases
Laser therapy was applied in patients having atopic bronchial asthma of mild and moderate forms with disease duration up to 5 years; in patients having an infection-depended form of mild bronchial asthma with disease duration up to 8 years as well as in patients with the initial deficit of forced expiration: at the first second not more than 28%; peak expiration rate not more than 25%; Tiffno's index not higher than 18%. After laser therapy a number of sympatomimetic inhalations was reduced by 3.6 times which is indicative of a positive effect of laser medical technique at pulmonary function.
