Abstract

Immune homeostasis was studied in 35 patients with gunshot injuries of the peripheral nerves in the process of rehabilitation using bioelectrostimulation of the muscles impaired. Parameters of cellular and humoral immunity were determined. Bioelectrostimulation resulted in the regression of preexisting motor, sensitive, vegetovascular and trophic disorders. Cellular and humoral immunity improved: the number of T-lymphocytes, T-helpers, T-suppressors increased, the immunoregulatory index normalized, levels of B-lymphocytes, immunoglobulins G, circulating immune complexes reduced. Thus, bioelectrostimulation in patients with gunshot injuries of the peripheral nerves corrects the disturbed homeostasis and promotes recovery of the functions lost.
