Abstract

Study aim: To assess the clinical efficacy of the combined use of low-frequency magnetophototherapy in the medical rehabilitation of patients with osteoarthritis of the spine and major joints.

Materials and methods: A total of 160 patients with osteoarthritis of the major joints and spine were examined and received rehabilitation treatment by various methods (pharmacological therapy, low-frequency magnetophototherapy, standard physiotherapy, and sinusoidal modulated current therapy), and comparative analysis of the results were performed.

Results: The efficacy of the combined use of low-frequency magnetophototherapy in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the major joints and spine was proven, and a new complex of medical rehabilitation for patients with limited use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and electrotherapeutic procedures was proposed. The positive effect of low-frequency magnetophototherapy on autonomic regulation and lipid metabolism was proven.

Conclusion: The use of combined low-frequency magnetophototherapy is recommended in complex medical rehabilitation for osteoarthritis of the major joints and for spine osteoarthritis, especially in patients with contraindications to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and those who have undergone electrotherapeutic procedures.
