Abstract:
The paper analyzes the outcomes of treatment of 326 patients with acute and chronic exudative sinusitis by using low-frequency vibratory massage--vibrotherapy that has antiinflammatory, antiedematous, and antiallergic effects, promotes normalization of body defenses and may be used as monotherapy. The therapy is shown to have a marked therapeutical effect and advantages over conventional treatments. The method is physiological, reduces the number of punctures in maxillary sinusitis, leaves the skin and mucosa intact, and decreases the use of drugs.
