COMPLEX HEALTH-RESORT THERAPY OF COXARTHROSIS AND OSTEOPENIA IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the new technology of restorative treatment of coxarthrosis burdened with osteopenia in postmenopausal women in the dynamics of clinical and algofunctional indices. Methods: Observations were made of 120 postmenopausal women aged 50-60 years with coxarthrosis with the concomitant osteopenic syndrome. Researchers were conducted in three representative groups: control (outpatient) received only Natekal D3; the comparison group at the sanatorium received drinking mineral water and radonotherapy; in the main group, patients received additional magnetotherapy. Results: The dynamics of clinical and algofunctional indices testifies to the advantage of complex balneo-, magneto- and rational pharmacotherapy. Conclusion: The expediency of health-resort treatment of coxarthrosis in combination with osteopenia in postmenopausal women with the complex application of radon, magnetic and medicament therapy was proved. Keywords: Coxarthrosis, postmenopause, radonotherapy, magnetotherapy, algofunctional indices.
