Роль чжень-цзютерапии в регулировании вегетативных дисфункций при лечении хронической цереброваскулярной патологии

We studied 50 patients, mean age 51 year, 18 men, 32 women, with chronic cerebrovascular disease. Autonomic tone at baseline, autonomic reactivity and autonomic supply of activity were determined. Patients were divided into 2 groups. Patients of the main group received acupuncture along with standard medications. Patients of the control group received standard medications. Disturbances of vascular-autonomic regulation were identified with the domination of ergotropic sympathetic effects and humoral-metabolic type of autonomic response at all patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease. Acupuncture caused a shift of the autonomic balance towards the parasympathetic activity as well as the decrease in the activity of the vasomotor center and the central regulation circuit that indicates the increase in the power of defense mechanisms associated with the normalization of autonomic balance.
