[The treatment of neurotic depression by using extremely high-frequency electromagnetic radiation]

Extremely high frequencies of electromagnetic waves (EHF-therapy) were used for the treatment of 53 women with asthenic, anxious and combined forms of depressions together with other methods (psychopharmacological treatment and psychotherapy). The control group which consisted of 27 analogous patients was treated without EHF-therapy. In the former group the recovery was observed in 50.9% of cases, considerable improvement in 41.5% and the improvement in 7.6% of cases. Meanwhile in the control group the treatment resulted in the recovery in 3.7%, in the considerable improvement in 48.1%, in the improvement in 40.7%, of cases. No clinical changes occurred in the rest control patients. The highest therapeutical effect was observed in patients with asthenic neurotic depression (recovery in 66.7%).
