The spa-and-health resort-based treatment and rehabilitation of the patients presenting with erosive and ulcerative lesions of the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum in the phase of subsiding exacerbation

The objective of the present study was to substantiate the application of low-mineralized mineral waters in the combination with anti-ulcer medications (ultop, amoxicillin, clarithromycin) and radon baths for the treatment of erosive and ulcerative legions of the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum associated with long-standing psychoemotional tension in the phase of subsiding exacerbation. It has been shown that the most efficient approach to the treatment of these pathologies is the introduction of radon baths (with a radon concentration of 1,5 kBq/l) into the program of spa-and-health resort-based treatment. The beneficial effect of such therapy is attributable to the strong sedative, analgesic, and immune-modulatory action of alpha-therapy. This conclusion is confirmed by the regression of pain syndrome, the improvement of immune resistance and psychoemotional status, the intensification of the reparative processes in gastroduodenal mucous membrane.
