[Functional methods of study in the evaluation of the effectiveness of laser therapy of vasomotor rhinitis and some forms of prosopalgia].

Abstract

Highly sensitive instrumental methods such as rhinopneumography, rhinorheography, rheoencephalography and segmented sphygmography were used to measure the efficacy of contact laser therapy of the pterygopalatine ganglion to treat vasomotor rhinitis and trigeminal neuralgia. This method proved efficient in the case of the nervous form of vasomotor rhinitis, Sluder syndrome, and trigeminal neuralgia. Stable remission developed in 60% of patients.
