GoÄdenko VS, Sitel' AB, Barvinchenko AA, Kovalenko IuF, Bezpal'chiÄ AN.

The central and peripheral hemodynamics was examined in patients with the radicular syndrome of lumbar osteochondrosis who were treated by reflexotherapy methods. In addition to the direct favourable effect of microacupuncture and classical acupuncture on the circulatory system a longer duration of the positive effect of microacupuncture was revealed. An interconnection between the favourable changes of the patient's state and the improvement of the systemic and local circulation was noted.
