Clinical manifestations of vegetative disregulation in video display unit users

Abstract

Prevalence of vegetative disfunction was studied in group of users of video display unit (VDU) (144 subjects) and in control group (71 subject). The main and control groups were similar in sex and age of subjects. Among video display unit users risk of vegetative disorders was 2,20 (range of the error — 1,12 — 4,30). Hyperthermic and asthenic syndromes, migraine pain and vegetative crises were the most frequent manifestations of vegetative disorders. It was found that the risk of development of vegetative disorders in the group of video display unit users depended on sex, presence of dorsopathy and allergic states, individual character and natural vegetative tonus.
