Using of hardware and software CardioMood complex in assessing the effect of laser radiation on the state of autonomic human nervous system
The main difficulty in predicting the physiological effect of laser irradiation (LI) on the body is in continuously changing properties of a living organism. Considering this, to achieve the specified parameters of influence, arises necessity of using automatic control systems of LI parameters based on biofeedback (BFB). One of the most informative indicators is the heart rate variability (HRV), that giving characteristic of functioning of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The purpose of this work - to examine directivity of influence effects of local laser skin irradiation on ANS and to define the parameters of their specificity, considering the gender differences of subjects. The comparative assessment of directivity shifts for main characteristics of HRV for males and females obtained at different stages of the study is shown. Overall, the present study showed the necessity to consider individual response to therapeutic doses of LI influence, and also - the perspective of using the method of complex mathematical analysis of HRV for rapid assessment of changes in the functional state (FS) and the selection of optimum parameters of laser therapy treatments based on the body's autonomic response.
