[Therapeutic efficacy of laser and electropuncture reflexotherapy in correcting the initial manifestations of cerebral circulatory insufficiency]

Nikolaev NA.

Electrical and laser acupuncture was used in 2 groups of 50 patients each who presented initial manifestations of cerebral circulation insufficiency (CCI). It was shown that stimulating an experimentally selected combination of acupuncture points on the affected side in initial manifestations of CCI, it was possible to achieve a regionally localized action correcting the cerebral hemodynamics. Changes in the tone of the regional vessels of the brain were objectively documented with the help of echopulsography of the cerebral vessels. The findings obtained included prolongation of the blood clotting time, a decreased index of thrombin inactivation and a reduction in the spontaneous fibrinolytic activity of the blood.
