Method for treating the cases of arthritis and arthrosis

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves administering four-chambered bromine and iodine baths of total mineralization equal to 90 g/l at35-37°C. A session is 6-8-10 min long. The total treatment course is 6-9 sessions long when given in daily mode or every second day.

EFFECT: accelerated treatment course; prevented seasonal exacerbations.

The invention relates to medicine, namely to balneology and physiotherapy, and can be used for the treatment of arthritis and arthrosis of various etiologies.

The known method balneotherapy arthritis and arthrosis hydrogen sulfide (50 mg/l 150 mg/l N₂S) or bromine baths total mineralization of 12 g/l 36 g/l in treatment at the resort, including exercise therapy, diet therapy, applications of ozokerite, paraffin, CMT, DDT, electrophoresis, SCM, magnetic therapy and other (“methods of treatment at the resort Ust ' -Kachka edited by Prof. Tuy A.V. and others, Perm - Ust - Kachka, 2001, p.25-26, 93-94).

Cons: not high enough efficiency.

The invention is directed to solving objectives: increase efficiency, rapid relief of pain.

The task is achieved by using 4 chamber bromide baths (2 hand and 2 foot) with a total mineralization of 90 g/l at a temperature of 35-37°daily or every other day, the course of 8-10 treatments, duration of treatment ranging from 6 minutes to 10 minutes. The method is used as monotherapy.

Bromiodnoi mineral water resort Ust ' -Kachka refers to the strong brine with a salinity of 263 g/DM³, chloride (CL - 159525 mg/DM³(99 equiv.%), sodium (Na+K - 76314 mg/DM³(73 EQ.%), calcium (CA - 17315 mg/DM³(19 EQ.%), bromine (Br - 720 mg/DM³), iodine ( - 12 mg/DM³), strong ferrous (Fe - 45-50 mg/DM³) acidic (pH of 5.3), cold (t +11°C). Origin is buried sea water exposed deep metamorphisize as a result of processes of exchange adsorption of cations, the accumulation of micro-components and other complex reactions.

The method is as follows: the patient with arthritis or arthrosis of the prescribed 4-chamber baths (2 hand and 2 foot) with bromide water with a total mineralization of 90 g/l, at a temperature of 35-37°daily or every other day, starting from 6-8 to 10 minutes, the course of 8-10 treatments.

The patient immerses in Bromiley solution hands to mid-shoulder and legs up to mid calf.

Examples of specific performance

Example 1. Patient K., aged 47 with disease of the small joints of the hands and feet of degenerative nature within 4 years. As a result of ongoing courses of treatment was able to prevent the early formation of nodules of Heberden. Aggravation cause hypothermia, physical overload. Took a course 4 chamber bromide baths 90 g/l 37 t° through day 8, the duration 6-8-10 minutes the Pain has stopped after taking 5 baths. The duration of therapeutic effect was 4 months. After 6 months of treatment was repeated, thereby nedopustimo development of aggravation and further progression of pain.

Example 2. Patient K. 71 years with a diagnosis of a strain of osteoarthritis, which was set 20 years ago. Repeatedly received medication and physiotherapy. Positive therapeutic effect never went further than 3-4 months, and in the last year had to use basic drug therapy lasting up to 3 months in spring and autumn. In addition to gross deformity of the distal interphalangeal joints of the fingers (heberden's polyarthritis) were observed almost year-round swelling of the proximal interphalangeal joints of the fingers, more pronounced on the right hand. Were appointed 4 chamber bromide bath 90 g/l 35 t° through day # 8, starting from 6-8-10 minutes After the end of treatment, the patient almost is fully passed the pain, was not swelling of the proximal interphalangeal joints. Range of motion in joints increased by 30%. 6 months course of baths repeated. Positive therapeutic effect was more pronounced than after the 1st treatment. Basic therapy has ceased to use in the treatment, only the occasional rubbing ointments from time to time. Exacerbations has been gone for 1.5 years.

Example 3. Patient N. 52 years with deformed by arthritis of small joints within 9 years. The deterioration observed seasonal: spring, autumn, when disturbed, severe pains in the fingers of the hands, feet, with swelling of the distal, proximal joints of the fingers. After taking 4 procedures 4 chamber bromide baths 90 g/l 37 t° through day # 10, from 6-8-10 min, the patient was when ahlost joints, the pain stopped worrying after the 6th session. Recovered full range of motion in the small joints of the hands and feet. When you re-rate after 6 months was able to prevent seasonal exacerbation of autumn.

Example 4. Patient P. 42 years, suffering from deforming arthrosis of the nodular form 3 years. Pain in small joints of hands, feet, elbow joints after physical activity, the change of weather. Seasonal moderate swelling of the distal interphalangeal joints of hands. Were appointed 4 chamber bromide bath 90 g/l 36 t° through day # 8, starting from 6-8-10 minutes In the process of receiving a course of monotherapy bromine baths, high salinity, pain in the joints, the circumference of the joints (distal interphalangeal WM is avow fingers) decreased due to the disappearance of swelling of soft tissues. Range of motion has fully recovered since ceased to bother the pain.

The positive effect from the use of the proposed method is the rapid relief of pain, lasting from 4 to 6 months and more positive therapeutic effect, without having basic drug therapy and to prevent the seasonality of aggravation.

A method of treatment of arthritis and arthrosis using bromide baths, characterized in that the prescribed 4-chamber bromine baths with General mineralization of 90 g/l at a temperature of 35-37° daily or every other day for 6-8-10 min, the course of 8-10 treatments.
