Laser therapy for rehabilitation of bronchial asthma patients

Full Text:

Abstract

Of 532 bronchial asthmatic (BA) patients examined, laser therapy (LT) was applied to 286 ones for rehabilitation purpose. The effectiveness of this treatment was evaluated based on the dynamics of clinical and cytochemical parameters such as catecholamines (CC), serotonin (S) and histamine (H) peripheral blood concentrations; lung function (LF) and bronchial reactivity. LT led to an improvement in clinical parameters and LF as well; bronchial hyperreactivity was decreasing, initially reduced CC concentrations were increasing and initially increased S and H levels were reducing. The best LT results were noted in mild and moderate atopic BA and in mild infectious-dependent BA as well.
