ESTIMATION OF ANALGETIC EFFECT AT EXTREMELY LOW TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE IN PATIENTS WITH DEFORMING DORSOPATHIES

Abstract

Objective: estimate of analgetic effect at extremely low temperature in the conditions of cryochamber for general air cryotherapy. Materials and methods: 335 patients (144 males and 191 females) in age from 20 to 72 years with pathology of locomotorium (deforming dorsopathies) took part in researches. Researches were conducted with the use of cryochamber for creation extremely low temperature. Results: the analysis of curves of probability of absence of analgetic effect showed that approximately 50,0% of patients had the lasting analgetic effect after 20±1,50 session of treatment. Conclusions: for achievement of maximal analgetic effect at 95% patients approximately 30 valuable sessions of general air cryotherapy in the cryochambe required. Influences of age, gender and seasons on efficiency of antinociceptive action at this contingent of patients statistically was not detected (р>0,05).
