Abstract
Summary. Fifty five patients with severe uncontrolled asthma were randomly assigned to treatment with standard therapy alone (n = 25) or standard therapy combined with transcutaneous neuroadaptive electrical stimulation (n = 30). Twenty healthy volunteers were as controls. Structural and functional disorders of the erythrocyte membrane were shown to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of severe hypoxia typical for this disease. These disorders could be due to hypoxic hyperactivity of lipid peroxidation of membrane phospholipids. The transcutaneous neuroadaptive electrical stimulation reduced severity of the cell oxidative stress, the erythrocyte membrane injury and hypoxia that resulted in improvement in clinical and functional parameters of asthma. Among the patients treated with the transcutaneous neuroadaptive electrical stimulation, good control of asthma was achieved in 17 patients (56.7 %) and partial control was achieved in 10 patients (33.3 %) compared to 13 (52 %) patients and 9 (36 %) patients, respectively, in the standard therapy group.
