[Corrective effect of reflexotherapy on the hypophyseal-ovarian and sympathetic-adrenal systems after ovariectomy].

The time course of LH, FSH, prolactin, estradiol, hydrocortisone, insulin and catecholamine levels in the blood was followed up in 62 patients of a reproductive age after surgical switch-off of the ovaries. Reflex therapy (electroacupuncture, acupuncture, other types of reflex therapy) included in the complex of postoperative treatment was conductive to the maintenance of a favorable level of hormones contributing to compensatory defense reactions to surgical stress and total ovariectomy.

[Status of the pituitary-adrenal and cholinergic system of patients with a pain syndrome in spinal osteochondrosis before and after a course of reflexotherapy].

The pituitary-adrenal and cholinergic systems were studied in 57 patients with chronic pain related to vertebral osteochondrosis before and after an acupuncture course. The degree of the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture (EAP) was found to correlate with the nature of changes in the level of the spontaneous secretion of aldosterone and intensity of the process of acetylcholine (AC) release. Most patients in whom the treatment was followed by the recovery of the physiologic level of the initially depressed secretion of aldosterone and a clear-cut decrease in the initially elevated AC concentrations showed good clinical response. In patients in whom the initially elevated levels of aldosterone and AC failed to decline or in whom there was an even greater increase in AC concentrations, the therapeutic effect of EAP procedures was insignificant and short-lived.

[Changes in blood serotonin levels in patients with migraine headaches before and after a course of reflexotherapy].

The study of serotonin levels in the blood of 49 patients with migraine and and migrainous headaches revealed both elevations and decreases in its concentrations as compared to the average physiological norm, which seems to be occasioned by various severity of the disease course. In the majority of patients in the period of disease exacerbation prior to the treatment, the initial concentrations of blood serotonin were lowered. Acupuncture normalizes increased and slightly decreased levels of serotonin which is in agreement with a good and stable clinical response. At the same time acupuncture fails to affect considerably reduced levels of serotonin and only transient clinical improvement occurs in such cases. Thus, the determination of serotonin blood levels in patients with migrainous cephalgias may be employed in the assessment of the severity of the disease course and the prognosis of acupuncture effectiveness.

[Changes in the content of beta-endorphin in maternal and fetal blood during transcutaneous electric neurostimulation in premature labor].

The effect of various parameters of transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation (TENS) on changes in B-endorphin (BE) blood plasma level has been studied in the mother and fetus during premature labour. A dependence of changes in BE plasma level on the frequency regimen of the impulse current has been established. The data, on the one hand, demonstrate the regulating effect of high- and low- frequency TENS on BE blood level and, on the other hand, indicate the involvement of endogenous opioid fetus system, which enables it to endure labour-induced stress.

[Functional changes in the pituitary-adrenal system during the action of electroacupuncture on patients with spinal osteochondrosis].

A session of low-frequency electroacupuncture (EAP) of the nerve points of the cervicobrachial or lumbosacral regions was performed in 61 patients with vertebral osteochondrosis. An EAP therapeutic effect, analgetic one in particular, was found to depend on cortisol and aldosterone blood levels: reduced levels of the hormones related to EAP procedure appeared associated with a positive therapeutic response.
