RESUMO
102 patients with GERD were examined: 70 female (68%) and 32 men (32%). Age of respondents ranged from 20 to 65 years (average of 45.8 ±8,2). All patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. In the first (control) group (30 people) traditional drug treatment were used according to the standard therapy of GERD (proton pump inhibitors, antacids, prokinetics), patients in the second (main) group (70 people) along with drug therapy has received a course of intravenous laser therapy according to the methods ILIB-405. For intravenous laser treatment Russian apparatus "Matrix-ILIB" ("Matrix", Russia) was used with wavelength 0,405 µm, output power at the end of the main optical path of 1-1.5 mW. Laser blood irradiation was carried out for 15 minutes in the CW mode, the course of treatment was 10 daily treatments with a break on Saturday and Sunday. Conclusions: 1. Intravenous laser irradiation of blood in the complex therapy of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease improved significantly of HRV due to the alignment of parasympathetic regulation circuit and reducing the activity of sympathetic autonomic regulation, 2. the inclusion of intravenous laser irradiation of blood in the complex therapy of patients with GERD was accompanied by reliable normalization of the indicators of the daily pH-metry of the esophagus in patients with GERD.
