Abstract and Figures
Comorbidity is an independent risk factor for mortality and significantly influences the prognosis and quality of life. Purpose: to evaluate the impact of high-tone HiTOP 4 touch therapy on cognitive disorders and quality of life in the complex treatment of patients with comorbid pathology. Methods: complex treatment of 2 groups of patients with inclusion in the basic treatment regimen of high-tone therapy was carried out – a total of 80 patients (men – 34, women – 46) aged 41 to 79 years old, group I – patients with hypertension and chronic cerebral ischemia (CСI) – 38 patients and group II – patients with hypertension, CСI and concomitant diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 – 42 patients. The average age in group I was 61.5, in group II – 65.5. Group I received lisinopril and amlodipine in one tablet, group II received metformin in addition to the above therapy. Both groups received a course of 10 sessions of high-tone therapy using the device HiTOP 4 touch (Germany) according to the general method: 2 electrodes on the feet, 2 on the forearms and one on the neck-collar area. All the patients were assessed for their cognitive condition, degree of anxiety and depression, and estimated for quality of life before and after a course of high-tone therapy. In order to do this, we used valid assessment tests, such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire. Results: the course of high-tone therapy for patients with hypertension and CCI led to improved quality of life, on all indicators of the SF-36 scale, except for pain intensity, increased cognitive functions by 3.52 points on the MoCA scale, reduced anxiety by 2.06 points and depression by 1.92 points on the HADS scale. The course of high-tone therapy for patients with CCI, hypertension and type 2 DM resulted in a significant improvement of 5 out of 8 quality of life indicators on the SF-36 scale, cognitive functions by 2.27 points on the MoCA scale and reduced anxiety by 4.3 points, and depression by 0.53 points on the HADS scale. Conclusion: the inclusion of high-tone therapy in the complex treatment of patients with comorbid pathology improves cognitive functions, reduces anxiety and depression, improves quality of life.
