Bezmenov AA, Grinnik VI, KaÄkov IuN, Mikhel'son DA.

The incidence of diseases of the peripheral nervous system was studied during the voyage in different groups of sea sailors. The diseases due to overcooling and overexercise (cervico-thoracic and lumbosacral radiculosis) appeared to predominate. Methods of electroneurostimulation of acupuncture points and reflexogenic zones, lymphotropic therapy were used in the treatment administered on board the ship.
