ABSTRACT

AIM. To determine the effectiveness of the transcranial magnetic therapy course inclusion in the sanatorium-resort treatment complex for patients with chronic insomnia.

MATERIAL AND METHODS. 122 patients with a verified diagnosis of chronic insomnia were examined, the average age was 54.0±0.92 years, of which 68.9% were women and 31.1% were men. The patients were divided into 2 randomized groups: 62 in the main group (who received health resort treatment complex and transcranial magnetic therapy) and 60 in the comparison group (an identical complex without transcranial magnetic therapy). All patients were evaluated for the index of insomnia severity, symptoms of impaired daytime functioning, daytime sleepiness on the Epworth scale, anxiety and depression on the HADS scale, vegetative tone, polysomnography data, and quality of life (SF-36).

RESULTS. As a result of the course of treatment, the average index of insomnia severity in the main group decreased from 20.3±0.32 to 13.0±0.38 (p<0.001), in the comparison group from 19.9±0.32 to 15.3±0.29 (p<0.001). Clinically, in addition to improving sleep quality, patients reported improved daytime functioning significantly more pronounced in the main group for most of the analyzed symptoms (p<0.05). A comparative analysis of the daytime sleepiness results assessment on the Epworth scale, anxiety and depression on the HADS scale before and after treatment showed a statistically significant positive trend more pronounced in the main group (p<0.05). The change in the indicators of vegetative tone in patients with chronic insomnia after treatment was expressed in a statistically significant decrease in the number of patients with sympathicotonia by 15.7% (p<0.05) and an increase in the number of patients with normotonic vegetative support by 17.4% (p<0.05). In the comparison group, the results were significantly worse (p<0.05). After the use of therapeutic complexes, there was a favorable reliable dynamic in the change in polysomnography indicators in patients of both groups, however, the positive result in the main group was more pronounced (p<0.05). The resulting positive assessment of the transcranial magnetotherapy application was a statistically significant improvement in the quality of life of patients in the main group (p<0.05).

CONCLUSION. The inclusion of transcranial magnetotherapy in complex health resort treatment treatment can significantly improve the effectiveness of sleep disorders treatment and improve the quality of life of patients with chronic insomnia.
