METHOD OF TREATING PATIENTS SUFFERING COXARTHROSIS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61N2/04 A61N7/00 A61K31/192 A61K31/51 A61P19/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely - to traumatology, orthopaedics, physiotherapy. A method involves introducing nonsteroid anti-inflammatory, analgesic agents, vitamins, conducting magnetic therapy and phonophoresis. The magnetic therapy is conducted by the rotating pulse magnetic field with using the magtenic therapy apparatus UMTI-3F. An injured hip joint is placed inside solenoids. Phonophoresis is conducted in 10-15 minutes after the magnetic therapy. At the first stage of the disease, the magnetic therapy is performed at frequency 100 Hz and magnetic induction 16 mT in the mode III for 10-15 minutes. Phonophoresis involves applications of 5% Nurofen gel on the involved hip joint at frequency 880 Hz and intensity 0.4-0.7 Wt/cm². pulse mode - 4 ms, exposure length 5-6 minutes for each joint. At the second stage of the disease, the magnetic field covers at frequency 100 Hz and magnetic induction 32 mT in the mode IV for 10-15 minutes. Phonophoresis involves applications of 5% Nurofen gel on the involved hip joint at frequency 880 kHz and intensity 0.7-0.8 Wt/cm², in the continuous mode; the exposure length is 8-10 minutes for each joint. The procedures are daily. The therapeutic course is 10-12 procedures.

EFFECT: method reduces length of treatment, relieves pain syndrome, increases the hip movement amplitude ensured by improved microcirculation and activated trophic processes in the joint tissues, stimulated metabolic processes, intensified prostaglandin biosynthesis inhibition.
