Abstract
The objective of the study: to investigate the efficiency of treatment of those suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) when using lase r-u ltrasound effect along with traditional therapy. Subjects and methods. 58 COPD patients were enrolled into the study. The article describes the number of clinical, laboratory and functional rates, parameters of external respiration functions, biomarkers of system inflammation during treatment including the lo w-i ntensity laser radiation, exposure to ultrasound and basic medicamentous therapy. Results. The laser ultrasound therapy as a part of comprehensive treatment of COPD patients allows achieving the maximum effect for the following criteria: excretion of sputum (the amount of sputum produced during 24 hours), the subjective assessment of cough and sputum by visual analogue scale; improvement of peripheral blood rates, reduction of system biomarkers ( I L -4 , I L -8 , TN F -2 ), improvement of external respiration function and general state of the patients.

Использование лазерно-ультразвуковой терапии в комплексном лечении больных Хроническая обструктивная болезнь легких (ХОБЛ) позволяет достигнуть максимального эффекта по критериям: выделение мокроты; субъективная оценка кашля и мокроты с помощью визуальной аналоговой шкалы; улучшение показателей периферической крови; снижение уровня системных биомаркеров (ИЛ-4, ИЛ-8 и ФНО-2); улучшение функции внешнего дыхания и общего состояния пациентов

58 COPD patients were enrolled into the study. The article describes the number of clinical, laboratory and functional rates, parameters of external respiration functions, biomarkers of system inflammation during treatment including the low-intensity laser radiation, exposure to ultrasound and basic medicamentous therapy.
