METHOD OF TREATING PATIENTS SUFFERING PRIMARY OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely ophthalmology, physiotherapy. The method involves endonasal cortexin electrophoresis with underlying glaucoma therapy. Cortexin is administered from an anode. For this purpose, a bifurcated positive electrode is applied on cotton swabs wetted in a drug solution. The electrodes are introduced into the middle nasal passages. An indifferent electrode is fixed with elastic bandages on the skin of the posterior surface of the neck. The first two procedures require galvanisation at current intensity 0.5 mA for 7 minutes. That is followed by medical cortexin electrophoresis from 3^rd to 12^th sessions. The current intensity from the 3rd to 5th sessions is 1 mA for 10 minutes. The current intensity from the 6th to 12th sessions is 1 mA for 15 minutes. The procedures are performed every second day.;EFFECT: method improves the clinical functional, perimetric and electrophysiological characteristics of the visual analyser, slows down the disease development and improves the patient's quality of life.;2 ex
