[Neurocirculatory dystonia: views on its etiology, pathogenesis and methods of therapy]

Basing on their psychophysiological, immunological and clinical findings, the authors emphasize the role of chronic infection, occupational hazards, adaptation to new climatic and social environment in pathogenesis of neurocirculatory asthenia (NA). The disease is also associated with sensitization to streptococcus, allergization, adverse effects of circulating immune complexes, impaired relationships between CNS and immune system. It is suggested that NA arises consequently to genetic determination of regulation process desynchronization. A new effective NA treatment is proposed comprising in addition to conventional treatment a course of UHF-inductothermia to the chest and anterior mediastinum conducted in conditions of short-term and low-intensity regimen of the exposure.
