The mechanism of the therapeutic action of reflexotherapy is still insufficiently studied, although there are plenty of studies devoted to its explanation. We used reflexotherapy in 764 patients (in the 1st group - 560 patients, in the 2nd group - 204 patients). Group 1 patients who received classical acupuncture were divided into three subgroups. The 1st subgroup consisted of 372 neurological patients - with lumbar osteochondrosis, pain syndrome and neurodystrophic changes (156), with cervico-thoracic osteochondrosis (108), lesions of peripheral nervous system (72), posttraumatic encephalopathy (36). The 2nd subgroup consisted of 170 patients of therapeutic profile - with gastric and duodenal ulcer (104), hypertensive disease (36), bronchial asthma (10), infectious allergic polyarthritis (20). The third subgroup included 18 surgical patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of lower limb vessels (8), urological patients with cystitis, prostatitis (6), skin diseases with neurodermatitis, psoriasis (4).
