METHOD FOR TREATING THE CASES OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves applying semiconductor laser radiation. Radiation is tuned to operate synchronously with heart pulse and breathing rhythms reducing radiation power in diastola phase and output modulation depth of 30%. Two paravertebral intercostal and two Kroenig's fields are stimulated. Wavelength is equal to 0.8-0.95 mcm. Radiation power is 8-10 W. Pulse succession rate 1500-3000 Hz. Each field is stimulated during 256 s. Ten treatments are administered. 11- oxyketosteroid contents is to be determined after carrying out the first and the third treatment session of laser therapy. The 11-oxyketosteroid contents being detected to grow lower, treatment continuation is considered to be indicated. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment. 3 cl
