THE ESTIMATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MECHANIC, HEATING AND MAGNETIC FIELD STIMULATION OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE POINTS IN PATIENTS DURING POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD

The developed device which caused complex impact upon biologically active points via mechanical pressure (acupressure), heating and oscillatory magnetic field was used in patients after appendectomy during early postoperative period. The usage of such device was followed by pain reduction in 12 h from the moment of operation by 32.7% (p<0.05) at relaxed state and by 35.5% after coughing test (p<0.05) when compared with patients who underwent traditional rehabilitation. In 24 h from the moment of operation analogous differences were 47.5% and 53.0% (p<0.05) correspondently. The period of patient’s staying at hospital shortened by 27.6% under conditions of developed device exploration (p<0.05). The developed technology might be benefit for the rehabilitation of patients with different surgical interventions.
