The article is devoted to the medical rehabilitation of children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction. Medical rehabilitation of children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction includes behavioral therapy, medication, biofeedback, and physical therapy. The popularity of physiotherapy methods is explained by the influence on the main links of pathogenesis, the absence of side effects and the possibility of use in young children. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of complex application of laser radiation and interference currents in the medical rehabilitation of children with PDMP. Materials and methods. Clinical observations and special studies were conducted in 40 children with hyperactive bladder aged 3 to 10 years. The main group consisted of 20 children who received laser therapy and interference currents, 20-a comparison group (without physical therapy). Results. Positive dynamics was observed by the middle of the course of medical rehabilitation, a third of patients showed a decrease in urgency and urgent urinary incontinence, there was a tendency to normalize the number of urinations per day, by the end of the course of medical rehabilitation, the dynamics of clinical symptoms was more pronounced and reliable. The favorable influence of interference currents and laser radiation on the clinical course of neurogenic bladder dysfunction, the state of urodynamics and speed characteristics of the act of urination was revealed. The feasibility of including interference currents and laser radiation in the medical rehabilitation of children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction is scientifically proved. Conclusion. Medical rehabilitation of children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction with the inclusion of laser radiation and interference currents has a favorable effect on the symptoms of hyperactivity of the bladder, indicators of uroflowmetry, cystometry and helps restore the normal rhythm of urination. As a result of the research, the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation with the inclusion of laser radiation and interference currents was 85.0 %, in the comparison group only 60.0 % (p < 0.05).

It is known that neurotic disorders can be independent risk factors for the development of complications in patients with cardiovascular diseases. This requires the creation of new rehabilitation programs that include not only medicines but also physiotherapy. To this end, an analysis was made of the effect of complex treatment, including visual color impulse therapy, on the psychoemotional state of 80 patients with cardiovascular diseases, hypertensive disease and coronary heart disease, who also have asthenic-depressive symptoms. In this case, patients in two control groups received standard drug therapy, and in the two main groups received additional color pulse therapy from the «Mellon» apparatus. Dynamics of the psychoemotional state of patients was studied with the help of a test that determines the quantitative changes in the state of health, activity and mood, as well as the stress index that characterizes the regulation of the heart rhythm under stress. Prior to the start of treatment, functional disintegration of regulatory mechanisms was characteristic for all patients, which was accompanied by psychoemotional disorders that indirectly reflected the state of highly organized nervous processes in the cerebral cortex, which altered the values of SI stress index indicators and the «well-being, activity, mood» test. The regression statistical analysis was used in this work. As a result, the indications and contraindications to the use of this method of treatment were determined. After the course of complex treatment, including drug and visual color impulse therapy, positive dynamics in the patients’ state was revealed, which indicates an increase in the functional capabilities of their body, and also, given the good tolerability of visual color impulse therapy, the feasibility of including this method in complex treatment at any stage of rehabilitation.

World-wide occurrence of diabetes mellitus and its complications in the form of neuropathic and metabolic disorders implies the necessity of development and application of the new methods for their combined treatment, such as the low-frequency transdermal electrical stimulation with the use of the OMRON Е-4 myostimulator. This technique was shown to significantly alleviate the symptoms of pain syndrome and other neuropathic manifestations. Moreover, it facilitated the reduction of body weight and visceral fat content in such patients and thereby considerably decreased the risk of development of diabetic complications.

The results of the complex treatment of patients with generalized chronic periodontitis, including photodynamic therapy and microcurrent electrical stimulation are presented. Analysis of the immediate and long-term results showed the effectiveness of the impact of this treatment on cerebral hemodynamics and autonomic balance in these patients.

The objective of the present study was to develop a scientifically sound rationale for the application of infrared laser radiation (IRLR) either separately or in the combination with fluctuation magnetic therapy in the medical rehabilitation of the children presenting with chronic hematogenous osteomyelitis. Another objective was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of this therapeutic modality. Two achieve these goals, the clinical observations and special research studies were conducted in two directions with the participation of 95 patients at the age varying from 1 to 15 years. The study has demonstrated the effectiveness of the inclusion of IRLR in the medical rehabilitation program for the children with chronic hematogenous osteomyelitis in different periods of the disease. It was shown that the transcutaneous infrared irradiation of the affected area during the exacerbation of chronic osteomyelitis had a well apparent immunostimulatory effect and reduced the activity of the inflammatory process. The application of IRLR in combination with fluctuation magnetic therapy during the period of partial remission, had a more pronounced influence on the microcirculation and stimulated the regenerative and trophic processes.

The authors for the first time provide the scientifically-grounded substantiation for the application of electrical stimulation with bipolar pulsed currents for the combined treatment of the patents presenting with acne vulgaris. Experiments on the rabbits have demonstrated the influence of bipolar pulsed currents on the cellular composition of lymph nodes and thereby facilitated the better understanding of certain theoretical aspects of the application of electrical stimulation at large. The clinical study on the application of multi-channel electrical stimulation and microcurrent therapy showed that these physical factors may cause remodeling of immunogenesis in the patents presenting with acne vulgaris manifested as the normalization of the cellular composition of peripheral blood (leukocyte, lymphocyte, T- and B-lymphocyte counts and immunoglobulin levels). These findings confirm the effectiveness of the proposed integrated treatment responsible for the enhancement of the overall resistance of the patents with acne vulgaris. Moreover, this therapeutic modality proved to exert the immunocorrective action and promote the restoration of the adaptive capacity at large. As a result, 80.9% of the patients presenting with acne vulgaris enjoyed prolonged remission of the disease.

Poor results of surgical treatment of posttraumatic and inflammatory urinary strictures have urged the authors to the search and introduction into clinical practice of a multimodality conservative treatment combining conventional urethroplasty, transurethral manipulations with following local endourethral lydase phonophoresis. The treatment has been conducted in 104 men aged 15-78. The final analysis of the trial demonstrated the advantages of the proposed method as to the duration of the treatment and prevention of the strictures recurrences. Detailed consideration is given to the indications, technique, long-term response. The objective approach has been achieved by tracing dynamic changes in the low urinary tract.
