The paper presents manifestations of aftereffects of cranio-cerebral trauma in children. A lot of clinical observations grounded the expediency of a combined sanatorium treatment of such patients using mineral baths of different chemical composition. Radon baths are preferable, especially in patients with hypertensive hydrocephalus syndrome.
The results of balneotherapy in patients with cerebroasthenic and hypertensive syndromes are described. Twenty-four children were examined electrophysiologically and neuropsychologically before and after sanatorium treatment. Massage, exercises, drug therapy, radon and carbon dioxide and sulfurated hydrogen baths were used. Sanatorium treatment resulted in a significant improvement of the general condition, of bioelectrical cerebral activity, of brain hemo- and CSF-dynamics as well as in the recovery of cortical functional activity. The most effective and stable results were obtained in patients with a favourable premorbid period of meningitis. Children with meningitis which occurred after an aggravated premorbid period needed repeated treatment courses.
An examination of 50 children suffering from various forms of scleroderma revealed clinical signs of nervous system involvement. The data of the skin functional parameters pointed to symptoms of irritation of the sympathetic nervous system. Electroencephalographic and electromyographic changes were observed. On being involved into the pathological process the nervous system begins to participate in the further development of the disease.
In the Pyatigorsk resort, 226 children from 3-7 years of age with different forms of cerebral paralysis were studied. For therapeutic purposes, besides general health improvement measures, remedial gymnastic and massage, such resort factors as carbon dioxide and sulfurated hydrogen and radon baths of different concentrations and mud procedures were used. As a result of such studies, some indications for referrals of preschool children with cerebral paralysis to balneomud resorts were outlined. Differentiated complexes of resort treatment, depending upon the form and severity of clinical sings were elaborated, as well as the possibility of resort therapy in children with cerebral paralysis, complicated by the intracranial hypertensive syndrome.
Children with aftereffects of craniocerebral trauma have received sanatorium treatment including exercises, massage, mineral baths of different chemical composition. Adequate therapeutic measures taken in due time diminish the number of the aftereffects and their severity.

The search for novel approaches to multimodality prophylaxis and treatment of sequelae of perinatal nervous system affection as well as introduction of the early diagnostic criteria are topical problems in present-day pediatric neurology. Peloid therapy efficacy in combined sanatorium treatment was studied (Peloterm unit) in 44 infants aged 1 to 3 years. They suffered from sequelae of perinatal affections of the central nervous system including infantile cerebral paralysis. A positive effect (improvement of motor and psychic-speech development) was achieved in 98% cases. This indicates validity of this method in the treatment of CNS affections following perinatal affection of the brain in infants over 1 year of age.

Experiments on 80 Wistar rats revealed the ability of Essentuki mineral waters to stimulate the reserves and sensitivity of the intestinal serotonin-producing system. A clinical trial on two groups of children (exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation or with posttraumatic astheno-neurotic syndrome) found out pronounced positive changes in the psychological status of the children which progressed in correlation with an increase of the blood serotonin levels.

Intervalocardiography was used to study the effect of carbon dioxide narzan baths on autonomic parameters in 125 children aged 10-15 with vascular dystonia (VD). In sympathicotonic VD vegetative background and reactivity did not change much. In vagotonic VD balneotherapy was adequate.
