ABSTRACT
This study was designed to evaluate the possibility to use low-intensity laser radiation in combined therapy of somatogenic depressions in patients having gynecological problems, such as inflammatory disease of uterine appendages. It was shown that the combined treatment including administration ofantidepressants significantly accelerated the development of beneficial changes and stabilized depressive manifestations. Inclusion of low-intensity laser irradiation in the combined therapy further improved its positive effect. Nevertheless, the complete recovery could not be achieved in the absence of specific antidepressant treatment despite the alleviation of depressive symptoms.

The quality of life in patients with painful temporomandibular dysfunction and the efficiency of serotonin antidepressants as an element of therapy of these patients were evaluated. The quality of life is decreased in this patient population; they develop hypothymic reactions. Use of serotonin-positive antidepressants appreciably improved the quality of life.

The quality of life and presence of depressions were evaluated in patients with painful temporomandibular dysfunction and the advantages of serotonin antidepressants in combined therapy of this condition were discussed. The findings indicate a decrease of the quality of life and hypothymic reactions in this category of patients. Addition of serotonin antidepressants to combined therapy appreciably improved the quality of life and more rapidly led to reduction of depressive symptoms.

The effect of including transcutaneous low-intensity magnetic-laser radiation of blood in combined antiinflammatory therapy of salpingo-oophoritis was studied. This physiotherapy stimulates phagocytic activity of neutrophilic leukocytes of the peripheral blood, promotes faster normalization of enzymatic and non-enzymatic systems of these cells.
