ABSTRACT
AIM. To substantiate the application of the infrared range narrow-band optical radiation and kinesiotaping combined effect in the complex treatment of patients with posterior cervical sympathetic syndrome on the basis of clinical studies.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. The dynamics of complaints for dizziness in 60 patients of two groups were evaluated using the DHI (Dizziness Handicap Inventory) and VRBQ (Vestibular Rehabilitation Benefit Questionnaire) scales, headache and pain in the neck using the visual analog scale (VAS), tinnitus, visual defocusing, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, decreased concentration and attention using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). To assess the posture, the shoulder Aksenova index was used. A duplex scan of the brachycephalic arteries and an assessment of anxiety and depression on the Sheehan and Beck scales, respectively,
were used to assess blood flow through the vertebral arteries.
RESULTS. Statistically reliable data (p <0.05) for reducing dizziness, headache, pain in the cervical region, reducing the severity of tinnitus, defocusing vision, nausea, and decreasing concentration and attention were obtained in the group using the combined effects of narrow-band infrared optical radiation and kinesiotherapy in comparison with the control group. Statistically reliable data (p<0.05) for improving linear velocity of blood flow Vm, Vps for the left vertebral artery at the extracranial level and statistically reliable data (p<0.05) for improving linear velocity of blood flow Vm, Vps for vertebral arteries were obtained at the intracranial level. Statistically reliable data (p<0.05) on the effectiveness of kinesiotaping for the correction of the upper cross syndrome were obtained.
CONCLUSION. The application of the narrow-band infrared range optical radiation and kinesioteping combined exposure can be recommended in the complex treatment of patients with posterior cervical sympathetic syndrome as well as to increase the linear velocity of blood flow in the vertebral arteries, the use of kinesiotaping can be recommended for the correction of biomechanical disorders, correction of the upper cross syndrome.
