Abstract

Introduction. The significant prevalence of vascular diseases of the brain, the complexity of dysfunc- tion, put the problems of their treatment, rehabilitation and prevention into the focus of attention of modern neurology. A stroke occurs in the United States every 45 seconds. Approximately 750,000 people a year suffer from a stroke in the United States. According to statistics from the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, more than 110,000 primary strokes are recorded annually in the country. No less serious disease of the human central nervous system is Alzheimer’s disease. Each year, more than 500,000 Americans die from this disease, making it the third leading cause of death in the United States. Traffic accidents, local military conflicts, some sports form a very numerous specific group of patients with craniocerebral injuries. Aim — to develop a phototherapeutic hardware complex for the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of vascular, inflammatory, degenerative, post-traumatic and other brain diseases that are difficult amenable to medical treatment including pharmacoresistant indomitable pain syndromes. Materials and methods. The low-intensity electromagnetic radiation of the optical range of the spectrum and the magnetic field of a permanent magnet are physical factors that are used in phototherapeutic complex devices. Results. A phototherapy apparatus complex has been developed for the prevention, treatment and reha- bilitation of vascular, inflammatory, degenerative, post-traumatic and other brain diseases that are difficult to treat with drugs. The phototherapeutic hardware complex includes three devices: the modified photon-mag- netic apparatus Korobov-Posokhov “Barva-CNS/FM”, the photon-magnetic matrices A.Korobov - V.Korobov “Barva-Laryngologist/FM” and flexible photon-magnetic matrices A.Korobov - V.Korobov “Barva-Flex/24FM”. Conclusions. The presented clinical observations obtained using the developed phototherapeutic hard-ware complex for the treatment and prevention of diseases of the brain indicate high efficacy and safety of long-term low-intensity phototherapy in patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy, with suffered ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, with hypertensive disease.

Summary

Introduction

The significant prevalence of vascular diseases of the brain, the complexity of dysfunction, put the problems of their treatment, rehabilitation and prevention into the focus of attention of modern neurology. 750,000 people a year suffer from a stroke in the United States. No less serious disease of the human central nervous system is Alzheimer’s disease. Diseases of the central nervous system are rank among the top three leaders in the list of pathologies that have upsetting rates of the mortality, disablement for a long time and invalidization of patients. The most formidable among the diseases of the central nervous system are vascular diseases of the brain. The Statistical Committee of the American Heart Association (AHA) shows that a stroke occurs in the United States every 45 seconds. This means that approximately 750,000 people a year suffer from a stroke in the United States. The American Heart Association states that there are about 5.4 million people today who have had a stroke in the US. [1]
