The prospective study comprised 105 patients treated for six months in the
out-patient and in-patient institutions suffering from the syndrome
manifested in pain and disturbed functions due to the diseases of the
nerve-muscle and bone-connective tissue systems. The group of patients with
the vertebro-basilar syndrome was selected by a single-blind controlled
trial while the rest constituted the group whose results were preliminary
presented. Two modes of laser photobiostimulation were applied: local
stimulation and stimulation of acupuncture points. Evaluation of effects
were performed by following up subjective troubles, clinical examinations,
laboratory analyses and in patients with the vertebro-basilar syndrome by
rheoencephalography in addition. The application of the mentioned methods in
different pathological states have shown positive results in 78% of patients
with analgesic, spasmolytic and antiadematous effects. In patients with the
vertebro-basilar syndrome disappearance of subjective troubles was followed
by the improved perfusion in the vertebro-basilar system with the mean
increase of the amplitude of the rheoencephalographic curve of 0.063 +/-
0.018 oms and the mean shortening of the anacrotic phase of 0.048 +/- 0.019
seconds
