Golovakha L. Complex treatment of mild and moderate essential hypertension in the participants of liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl NPP accident using cryopuncture.

Dissertation is devoted to the study of the possibility for use of cryopuncture for the complex treatment of mild and moderate essential hypertension in 100 participants of liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl NPP accident. Estimation of treating efficacy of cryopuncture was made and the scheme of its application for complex treatment of mild and moderate borderline essential hypertension was developed when conducting clinico-functional investigation. Higher efficacy of cryopuncture in complex with pharmacotherapy as compared to the pharmacotherapy by the same preparations (adelfan or clofelin) was proved. Necessity for the determination of individual circadian rhythm in the increase of arterial pressure and use of pharmacotherapy and cryopuncture 60-75 min before the expected increasing of AP to reach the maximum effect of cryopuncture was shown. It was proved that together with efficacy and availability of the given method the procedure is unpainful, may be carried out in ambulance, does n't cause complications and as a whole takes no more than 1 minute and is well tolerated by patients. Absence of side effects and allergic reactions was the important advantage of the method presented.
