METHOD FOR RESTORING WORKING CAPACITY Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves exposing reflexogenic zones of atrium and nasal cavity to scattered light of helium neon laser in zigzag and interrupted mode (wavelength is 0.63 mcm, light guide diameter is 1.3 mm, power density is 0.17-0.43 mW/cm², total power emitted by the helium neon laser is 040-0.46 J) in two weeks long cycles with 2 days long pauses after every fifth session increasing exposure time from one of 15-20 s to one of 50-60 s with exposure plateau being formed. The treatment is carried out by introducing flexible light guide into nose passage 1-1.5 cm in depth so that light cone axis and lateral wall of the passage make an angle of 60 deg. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; low cost; reduced harmful action; high performance characteristics. 9 tbl
