Efficiency was studied of multimodality treatment of 586 patients with ulcer
disease. Of these, 110 had gastric ulcer, 460 patients had duodenal ulcer,
sixteen were suffering from both gastric and duodenal ulcer. 275 patients
(46.8%) had various concurrent chronic disorders involving cardiovascular
system and alimentary canal. Three groups of patients were identified: those
receiving magnetoresonance therapy apart from conventional antiulcer therapy
(n = 89), those undergoing laser therapy (n = 170), those exposed to
hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), variable magnetic field (VMF) and acupuncture
(AP) according to generally accepted techniques. In the control group, drug
therapy promoted ulcer healing in 73.3% of patients, whereas multimodality
treatment involving MRT induced healing in 80.6% that of incorporating
computer-aided laser therapy led to healing in 85.7 to 89.4%. HBO, VMF and
AP group demonstrated healing in 92.4 to 93.7%.
