Abstract

We observed 120 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who have been divided on two groups comparable on gender, age and duration of the disease: the basic (n=80) and control (n=40). Patients of both groups received similar medicaments and physiotherapeutic treatment. Patients of basic group have being treated by sessions of structurally-resonant electromagnetic therapy (SREMT) in addition. Comparative researches have shown appreciable advantage of SREMT inclusion in the complex treatment of RA patients. SREMT promotes normalization of immunological indexes of rheumatoid process activity, have a positive influence on anxiety and depressive disturbances in RA patients.
