ABSTRACT
The paper summarizes the results of clinical observations and special examinations conducted in 45 children with chronic gastroduodenitis by using combined exposure to sinusoidal modulated currents and ultrasound. The dynamics of clinical symptoms, functional status of the stomach and its adjacent gastroduodenal organs, endoscopic findings, morphological status of the gastroduodenal mucosa, gastric mucosal dissemination of Helicobacter pylori, systemic and regional humoral immunological parameters, abdominal echography indicate high therapeutical efficiency of the combined therapy as compared to that performed in controls (without physiotherapy). Mechanisms of formation of therapeutical action are clarified, differentiated indications are defined.

Clinical and special tests have found that sinusoidal modulated currents in childhood chronic gastroduodenitis produce positive changes in clinical symptoms, secretory and motor functions of the gastroduodenal zones, endoscopic picture, gastroduodenal mucosa morphology, immunologic indices, associated diseases. The authors have developed differential indications for treatment of children with gastroduodenitis using sinusoidal modulated currents.
