[The development of methods for experimental physiotherapy in patients with altered thyroid activity after exposure to ionizing radiation].

Pathogenic influence of Chernobyl-related factors was modelled with the view to study peculiarities of changes in the most important systems of the body induced by long-term low-dose ionizing radiation associated with hypo- and hyperthyroidism. Experimental rehabilitative therapy stipulated following methods of physico-pharmacological treatment: 1) course of general electrophoresis with chemical components of peloids; 2) the same course with Ethimisol added to the solution used for electrophoresis. Clinical follow-up of patients resided in the Chernobyl-stricken territories proved advisability of differentiated application of aforementioned methods according to prevailing thyroid symptoms.
