Therapeutic complexes of physical factors in mild arterial hypertension

: Three therapeutic complexes were compared clinically in patients with mild arterial hypertension. Complex 1 consisted of dry air--radon baths, bicycle exercise and exposure of the renal projection area to decimetric electromagnetic field. Its efficacy was 90%, mechanism of the hypotensive action is reduction of enhanced activity of the sympathico-adrenal and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems, improvement of water-mineral metabolism and lipid peroxidation. Complex 2 consisted of dry effervescent baths, anaprilin electrophoresis with sinusoidal modulated currents and exposure of the renal projection area to low-frequency alternating magnetic field. Its efficacy was 80%. It affects renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, water-mineral metabolism and lipid peroxidation. Complex 3 consisted of electric sleep, laser therapy and general sodium chloride baths. Its efficacy was 63%. The effect was due to inhibition of high sympathico-adrenal system.
