Abstract:

The results of clinico-electromyographic examinations point to a sufficiently high effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygenation in polyradiculoneuritis and permit its inclusion into the multimodality treatment of the latter. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) accelerates regression of neurological disorders, with the predominant effect on the severity of motor and autonomic-trophic disturbances. HBO makes it possible to reduce the doses of glucocorticoids and the period of treatment and hospitalization of patients.
