MEDICAL EFFECTS OF GENERAL MAGNETOTHERAPY
Altai State Medical University, Barnaul, Russia

We have accumulated substantial positive experience of preventive and treatment effect of the use of general magnetotherapy (GMT) carried out with the low-frequency magneto-therapeutical apparatus «ALMA». As the performance results there are five patents, five defended theses, two monographs. The group of scientists became laureates of the Prize established by the Administration of Altai Region in the field of science and technique.

GMT is referred to the methods with a wide scope of therapeutical activities: immunomodulating, hypotensive, regeneratory, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, bacteriostatic, sedative, and adaptive ones. GMT produces vigorating effect, improves mental and physical productivity, quickly replenishes the body after physical and nervous strain and raises functional reserves.

Complementation a complex treatment of hypertension with GMT renders a proved correction influence on central and cerebral hemodynamics, normalizes vegetative status, and enables cut dose of medications by half. GMT application for secondary prevention of AH allows correcting such risk factors as hypercoagulation and hyperlipedimia. GMT influences positively on AH patients’ psychoemotional status, reducing the level of reactive anxiety, facilitates changes of mental patterns.

The use of GMT in a complex treatment of menopausal syndrome results in a manifested clinical effect, which displayed in a qualitative reduction of flushes, sweating, blood pressure stabilization, improved night sleep, decrease of dizziness, positive cerebral hemodynamics, normalization of vegetative and psychoemotional status.

A definite experience on GMT use for a complex treatment and prevention of peptic ulcer disease has been gained. Application of this non-medication therapy enables to obtain a better reparative and anti-recurrent effects compared to the control group. Taking in account that PUD is related to psychosomatic illnesses we would like to stress the positive influence of GMT on psychoemotional status, which manifested in evident reduction of anxiety, depression and increased vitality and optimism.

A special note required on GMT application in oncological patients. The experience of numerous local oncological centers testifies that the magnetic field produces sanogenic and immunomodulating effects in the organism, and exposes tumor cells to a direct destructive effect. The researches conducted in Altai Oncological Centre reported an improvement of the therapeutical result when GMT is added to chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgical treatment in patients with breast, lung, stomach and genital cancer.

We carried out clinical researches on GMT influence on involution of myomatous nodes in women of reproductive age. The data of treatment showed reduction of myomatous nodes in 76,7% of the patients averagely by 16,6%, within period of 12 months no further growth of myomatous nodes was noted.

Therefore GMT is a comparatively new direction in physiotherapy, which possesses a multifaceted activity. Clinical researches confirm its beneficial influence on the organism and application feasibility for a number of diseases. No doubt, the method requires further assessment, even more rigorous clinical approbation and introduction in medical practice.
