Relationships between changes in EEG and some metabolic parameters in patients of Truskavets’ spa

Abstract

Background. Earlier, we found relationships between EEG/HRV parameters and plasma/ urine electrolytes concentration in Truskavets’ spa patients. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationships between changes in these parameters under the influence of balneotherapy. Materials and Methods. The object of observation were 22 men (23-70 years), who underwent rehabilitation treatment of chronic pyelonephritis and cholecystitis in remission. The examination was performed twice, before and after a 9-11-day course of balneotherapy. The object of the study were the parameters of the EEG and exchange of electrolytes and nitric metabolites. Results. Judging by the coefficient of determination, changes in the concentrations of electrolytes and nitric metabolites in the urine and plasma are mediated by changes in neurodynamics by 99,8 % and 99,4% respectively. Conclusion. Balneotherapy affects the exchange of electrolytes and nitrogen metabolites through the CNS.
