Objectives. Optimization of comprehensive treatment of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis (II stage) by combined application of ozone and gravitational therapy.
Methods. A prospective randomized controlled study in three parallel groups in 139 patients has been performed. The first group (n=57) received standard medical therapy in combination with ozone therapy; the group was divided into two subgroups: in the subgroup 1a (n=28) the patients were given intravenous ozonated saline solution (OSS), in the subgroup 1b (n=29) – major ozonated autohemotherapy (MOAT). The patients of the second group (n=62) underwent the comprehensive treatment, including gravitational therapy (GT) in addition to medical ozone. In this group two subgroups were also identified: subgroup 2a (n=31) – the patients received standard medical therapy in combination with OSS and GT, subgroup 2b (n=31) – in combination with MOAT and GT. The third group, the control one (n=20), included patients received only standard medical therapy. The results were evaluated immediately prior and after the treatment according to pain-free walking distance, ankle-brachial index, lipid metabolism and lipid peroxidation processes.
Results. The highest efficiency was observed in the subgroup 2a. A statistically significant increase of pain-free walking distance by 116,5%, ankle-brachial index – by 49,2% have been registered. The most pronounced positive dynamics of lipid metabolism has been observed: reduction of total cholesterol by 21,3%, low density lipoprotein – by 25,4%, very low density lipoprotein – by 24,2%, triglycerides – by 18,5%. The tendency towards normalization of lipid peroxidation was established: malondialdehyde decreased by 29,28%, the total antioxidant activity increased by 20,36%.
Conclusion. Combined application of ozonated physiological solution and gravity in the treatment of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis (stage II) contributes to a significant increase of pain-free walking distance and ankle-brachial index; as will as a significant correction of violations of lipid metabolism and lipid peroxidation process.
