[Combined rehabilitation treatment for seronegative spondylarthritis including novel non-pharmacological technologies].

The trial included 90 patients with seronegative spondylarthritis (SA): 60 ones with ankylosing spondylarthritis (30 with central and 30 with peripheral forms) and 30 patients with reactive arthritis (RA). RA patients with affection of the peripheral joints, periarticular tissues and the spine are effectively treated with a complex of water radon baths and low frequency ultrasound but in affection of the peripheral joints and tendon-ligament system water radon baths and ultraphonophoresis of hydrocortisone are recommended. Water radon baths and decimetric therapy are good for patients with central ankylosing spondylarthritis having a dominant lesion of the spine. In involvement of the joints and tendon-ligament system it is recommended to use a complex of water radon baths and ultraphonophoresis of hydrocortisone.
