The Effectiveness of the Treatment of Immunological Disorders in the Acute Period of Ischemic Stroke

Abstract

order to study the effectiveness of reflexotherapy in the correction of immunological disorders in the acute period of ischemic stroke, a clinical and immunological examination of 45 patients was performed (on the 2nd day of the patient's stay in the hospital and 15 days after the start of the early rehabilitation course). In the main group of patients (30 people), in whom the basic complex of rehabilitation measures was optimized by the inclusion of reflexotherapy, there was a significant improvement in a number of indicators of cellular and humoral immunity: a decrease in leukocytes in peripheral blood (p0.05), an increase in the content of lymphocytes (p0.05), relative and absolute indicators of the content of T-lymphocytes (CD3+) (p0,01 and p0,05, respectively), immunoregulatory T helper cells (CD4+) (p0,05), a decrease in the number of B lymphocytes to normal values (p0,01) and an increase in IgG levels (p0,05). In the control group (15 people), where standard treatment was carried out, there was no such pronounced dynamics of indicators. Thus, a comprehensive clinical and immunological study of the effectiveness of non-drug correction of immunological disorders in the acute period of ischemic stroke showed high efficiency of acupuncture, with relative simplicity and safety of its use.
