Abstract

The aim of this work was to increase the effectiveness of treatment in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee by including in the treatment complex procedures of electromagnetic radiation of the terahertz range. This study was prospective and randomized. 65 patients were examined and treated. They were divided into 2 groups comparable to sex, age, disease type, and severity. All patients received basic therapy, including drugs and exercise therapy. In addition to the basic treatment, the patients of the main group underwent a course of terahertz therapy using the «Emir» device with a ceramic coating of the emitter. The study revealed that the procedures of terahertz therapy are well tolerated by patients, do not cause exacerbation and are combined with other methods of treatment of gonarthrosis. Repeated studies at the end of the course of treatment showed that the inclusion of terahertz radiation in the therapeutic complex has a positive effect on the main clinical symptoms of the disease, reducing the intensity of pain in the knee joints and improving their functional state, having a favorable effect on the state of local hemodynamics.
