[Correlation between sympathetic nervous activity of the skin and local temperature of skin projections of the spinal nerves in the course of rehabilitation of the patients presenting with dorsopathies].

We undertook the correlation analysis of the parameters characterizing the intensity of the skin sympathetic reactions and local temperature of skin projections of the spinal nerves in three groups of patients presenting with dorsopathies and differing in terms of sympathetic regulation of the microvasculature. It was shown that the patients of group 1 exhibited positive correlation between the above parameters (preserved vegetative regulation of microcirculation despite the tendency toward its atonic-stagnant disturbances). The patients of group 2 showed negative correlation between these parameters (preserved vegetative regulation of microcirculation despite the tendency toward its spastic-stagnant disturbances). Neither one nor the other type of correlation was documented in the patients of group 3 which suggests the absence of vegetative regulation of the microcirculatory bed.
