[The optimization of the duration of the sanatorium-health resort treatment of patients with neurological manifestations of spinal osteochondrosis (I)].

Abstract

Short-term mud therapy (10 daily peat [correction of moor] applications) has been performed in patients with neurological symptoms of spinal osteochondrosis. Such short-term courses are indicated in the absence of exacerbation of the basic and associated diseases under domination of the radicular and reflex syndromes. High efficacy and good tolerance of the treatment are confirmed by vertebroneurological investigations and functional diagnostic tests.
