Variable magnetic fields in the conservative analgesic treatment of peritoneal adhesions
Keywords:
variable magnetic fields, magnetotherapy, magnetostimulation, pleural adhesions, abdominal pain
Summary:
In the study the therapeutic effects of variable magnetic fields applied as magnetotherapy and magnetostimulation were estimated in 20 patients with chronic abdominal pains resistant for routine pharmacological treatment caused by a creation of peritoneal adhesions after surgical interventions. As a result of 2 cycles of 15 daily procedures of both magnetostimulation and magnetotherapy, a significant decrease in pain intensity (from 9,05 to 2,05 points in WAS scale) and improvement of quality of life (increase from 23,25 to 87,75 points in EuroQol scale) were achieved.
