[Lateral phototherapy in somatoform mental disorders].

Abstract

Curability of somatomorphic disorders in isolated use of lateral phototherapy was studied. High clinical effectiveness of direct and inverse light-up regimens in the treatment of functional somatomorphic disorders was established, dependence of therapeutic prognosis on severity of the disorders was shown. According to the authors, typology of somatomorphic disorders may be disregarded when regimen of the treatment is being chosen but it should be taken into account in determination of minimal sufficient duration of therapy.
