The purpose of our study is to study changes in the parameters of visual evoked potentials to a flash under the influence of speleotherapy. Material and research methods. The study involved 23 2nd year students of VSMU (18–21 years old, 9 boys and 14 girls). The course of speleotherapy consisted of 10 sessions of 60 minutes each and was carried out in a stationary ground speleochamber at a temperature of 18–22 °C. The study was conducted in compliance with the basic bioethical rules. Before the start of speleotherapy, on the 3rd, on the 10th day of speleotherapy, visual evoked potentials (vEP) were registered on the right and left for a flash using the neuromyoanalyzer NMA-4-01 "Neuromian". The analysis of the data obtained was carried out using the Excel 16 version and IBM SPSS Statistics 26 programs. It was found that flash VEP is an important diagnostic method that allows not only to solve such diverse tasks as detecting the presence of vision, assessing the degree of preservation of the visual functions of the peripheral visual field, and determining the speed of the visual signal and the efficiency of its processing, but also to assess the degree of influence of non-drug methods of treatment on the human body, the work of its regulatory mechanisms, in particular, the central nervous system. The course of speleotherapy improves the speed of the visual signal, the speed of primary processing of information and the speed of analysis of visual information. Moreover, the mechanism of this improvement occurs according to Hans Selye's theory of stress: through the "emergency" stage on the third day of speleotherapy to the stage of stable adaptation on the 10th day of speleotherapy.
