The combined application of radon therapy and peloid therapy for the rehabilitation of the patients presenting with seronegative spondyloarthritis

Abstract

The remedial therapeutic complex including radon baths and low-temperature peloid application significantly (by 24%) increased the efficacy of rehabilitation of the patients presenting with seronegative spondyloarthritis, reduced the activity of the disease, exerted well-apparent anti-inflammatory and analgesic action, markedly enhanced the functional and adaptive potential of the patients and improved their quality of life. These effects were much more pronounced than in the case of isolated application of radon baths (1.5 kBq/l) or low-temperature peloids. The study has demonstrated high therapeutic efficacy of the combined treatment with aqueous radon baths and low-temperature peloids in the patients presenting with reactive arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis with the predominant affection of peripheral joints.
