[Ultrahigh frequency therapy of duodenal ulcer]

Extremely high frequency (EHF) radiation was performed in 95 outpatients with duodenal ulcer. Individual choice of the exposure site can improve the treatment results. The syndrome-oriented approach of the Chinese conventional medicine warrants an effective choice of the acupuncture loci and the prognosis of the outcome. A clinical syndrome was identified in which healing of the ulcer was achieved on week two of the treatment in 92.3 +/- 7.7% of the patients. It is suggested that EHF therapy provides positive responses in case of a valid exposure zone selection, the frequency being less important.
