[Clinical and morphological substantiation of SMC-peloidotherapy for the management of duodenal pathology].

Abstract

This study included 112 patients presenting with duodenal ulcer disease and 65 ones with chronic duodenitis treated with the use of sinusoidal modulated current (SMC) electrophoresis in combination with peloidotherapy (peat muds of the Uva health resort, Republic of Udmurtia). This treatment was shown to produce positive effect on the proliferative activity of duodenal epithelium.
