2.2 Holographic Study of Structural and Functional Characteristics …

If the pain intensified, we changed the point number, their stimulating time and
also laser radiation power.
The dominance of reflex-tonic disturbances in clinical finding required wider
inclusion of the flanged area, hands.
More effective laser acupuncture was during radicular and especially radicularvascular manifestations of lumbar osteochondrosis. During radicular manifestations,
it was necessary to use more localized influence with primary irritation of local
segment points.
In the results of examinations in 1981, 340 patients with lumbar osteochondrosis
neurological manifestations were treated using laser acupuncture.
The effectiveness of laser acupuncture of 120 patients with radicular (72 patients)
and reflex (48 patients) stages of lumbar osteochondrosis at the age of 20–60 years
has been studied. The disease period was from 20 to 60 years. There were 22 women
and 98 men.
Using laser acupuncture, the patients were treated at the beginning of exacerbation
and after ineffective drug and physiotherapy treatment.
Laser therapy was carried out using He–Ne lasers λ = 632.8 nm (LH-38) with light
guides of different diameter and power flux density (PFD) from 3.5 to 16 mW/cm
2
and from LH-56 and LH-72 by the “open” laser beam PFD from 2.5 to 8 mW/cm
2 ,
and also, it was carried out using He–Cd laser λ = 441 nm (LH-61).
The effectiveness of laser puncture was estimated by the clinical and paraclinical
survey techniques. After laser acupuncture treatment, 90 (75%) patients felt amelioration, 18 (15%) patients—small amelioration and 12 (10%) patients were without
changes.
During clinical surveys, there were detected the absence or decrease of the degree
of manifestation of pain (79%) and reflex-tonic (77%) syndromes at complete or
partial recovery of the function of affected roots.
55 patients with different clinical manifestations of lumbar osteochondrosis were
treated by pulsed sequential action by low-intensity laser irradiation with blue (441
nm) and red (632 nm) wavelengths on 4–6 acupuncture points with the frequency
from 5 to 50 Hz. During the course of treatment, there were 10–12 manipulations. 21
of 55 patients had a reflex syndrome, 34—radicular syndrome of different intensities.
In the result of the treatment, 65% of the patients felt amelioration, 15%—small
amelioration and 20% stayed without changes.
But only in a quite limited number of studies, the study of laser influence on health
and pathological tissues and organs of animals accompanied by the analysis of the
changes in peripheral blood and immune-competent organs [255, 256].
In recent years, the method of organism laser biostimulation, namely, the method
of intravascular laser blood irradiation (ILBI) when almost the whole circulating
blood is irradiated, has been used [16, 18, 21, 26–35, 37, 39–45, 48, 52, 53]. Taking
into consideration the fact that blood is polyfunctional system, which also functions
as an integrated medium, its irradiation influences the whole organism and tissues
and reflects the state of the whole organism in general. By the present moment,
the effectiveness of this method is shown using it as the prevention and treatment
of many diseases (myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis obliterans of the vessels
