[Experience in the use of therapeutic photomatrix equipment]

Currently available data on clinical use of therapeutic photomatrix systems (TPMS) used for irradiation of extensive body areas are summarized. A therapeutic photomatrix system is implemented as an array of visible of infrared light emitters. The problems of photomatrix equipment interaction with biological objects are discussed. The main results of the clinical use of photomatrix equipment for treatment of a number of diseases are considered. Four main variants of clinical application of photomatrix equipment are considered: use of TPMS alone; use of TPMS in combination with medicamentous treatment; use of TPMS in combination with other physiotherapeutic procedures; use of TPMS in combination with other physiotherapeutic procedures and medicamentous treatment.
