QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS WITH TENSION HEADACHE

Abstract

A study of the quality of life of 94 patients with tension headache was conducted at the “Humson” resort using the European Quality of Life Questionnaire – 5 areas of health: mobility, self-care, activity in everyday life, pain and mood. Patients were divided into three groups depending on the choice of treatment complex. The first group received balneotherapy and transcranial electrical stimulation of the brain, in the second group balneotherapy was combined with electrophoresis of mildronate endonasally, patients of the third group took only bromine baths and a therapeutic pool. Before treatment, the average health score for all groups was 0.59±0.18, or 59%. After treatment, the maximum values (89%) of the quality of life indicator were reliably noted in patients who took a course of brominated baths in combination with electrophoresis mildronate endonasally. Thus, the combination of physical methods of treatment and balneotherapy has significant advantages over monotherapy with balneofactors.
