Experience of using the magnetic therapy device “POLIMAG-01” for acute surgical infection

Magnetic therapy is a variant of alternative medicine based on the beneficial effects of a magnetic field on the human body. The technique is used in the treatment and prevention of many common diseases.

The use of a static or alternating magnetic field is classified as physiotherapeutic treatment methods. Physiotherapy uses continuous and pulsed modes, each of which has an effect at the cellular level, causing a reaction of water molecules in the body's tissues.

Our medical clinic “Miracle Doctor” uses the positive properties of the electromagnetic field in complex treatment and as an independent method.

How does magnetic therapy physiotherapy work?

Before treatment, you need to remove metal jewelry and accessories.

The patient sits or lies on the couch, inductors in the form of a blanket, round or cylindrical devices, or rings are located in the patient's problem area.

During the procedure, slight vibration is acceptable; it does not cause discomfort.

The duration of the session depends on the diagnosis, the irradiation zone and ranges from 15 to 25 minutes.

During the session, the physiotherapist individually adjusts the intensity of the device's impact.

For maximum therapeutic effect, a course of 10-15 procedures is recommended daily or every other day.

Relevance

Until recently, advances in the use of antibiotics created the illusion of a radical solution to the problem of surgical infection.
However, it is now obvious that antibacterial drugs have not lived up to the hopes placed on them. Today, in parallel with the use of antibiotics, the number of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, the frequency and severity of infectious complications, which simultaneously change their clinical features, are increasing. In addition, the sensitization of the macroorganism and the frequency of allergic reactions to the use of antibacterial agents, up to anaphylactic shock, increase. Frequent complications of antibiotic therapy were manifestations of dysbacteriosis and disturbances in the functional activity of internal organs. According to summary data from the medical literature, currently more than 30% of patients with surgical pathology suffer from various purulent-inflammatory diseases and complications. Moreover, up to 70-80% of these patients are admitted to hospitals for emergency reasons. In the structure of postoperative complications, surgical infection ranges from 32 to 75%. More than 30% of all deaths in the postoperative period are associated with various purulent-inflammatory processes (Efimenko N.A., 2005). In this regard, along with the well-known and traditionally used methods of treating purulent-inflammatory diseases, the relevance of introducing into practice therapeutic and preventive methods with a multifaceted effect, which can be used as accompaniment therapy in the hospital, and, most importantly, on an outpatient basis, is obvious. outpatient stages of treatment. These conditions correspond to magnetic therapy methods that have an immunomodulatory effect, help improve microcirculation and activate reparative processes in the wound, are free of side effects and do not require strict laboratory monitoring. These requirements, in particular, are met by the multifunctional installation POLYMAG-01, which can exert an effect locally at the location of the emitter (“stationary” pulsed magnetic field) or move vertically, horizontally, diagonally across all emitters located simultaneously on the patient’s body. That is, it provides a unique opportunity to perform not only local, but also almost general magnetic therapy. In addition, POLYMAG inductors allow you to perform magnetophoresis procedures.

How is magnetic therapy beneficial for the body?

Magnetic therapy helps with many pathological health disorders, including:

1. Joint diseases - effective relief of inflammation in joint tissues, elimination of pain, maintaining stable remission. Treatment with a magnetic field has proven itself, in particular, for arthrosis. The device warms up the diseased joint and adjacent tissues to a depth of 10 cm. As a result:

• elimination of swelling;
• activation of blood flow;
• triggering cell recovery.

Attention! Magnetic therapy is suitable for the treatment of the first two stages of arthrosis, not in the acute phase. Otherwise, there will be practically no result.

2. Osteochondrosis of the spinal column - exposure to magnetic fields is used as a single procedure or as part of a complex of other therapeutic measures. Benefits of manipulation:

• pain relief;
• relief of inflammation;
• elimination of tissue swelling;
• restoration of mobility;
• strengthening blood vessels;
• increased nutrient flow;
• improvement of gas exchange in tissues;
• slowing down the degeneration of intervertebral discs;
• stabilization of neurovascular function.

Magnetotherapy for diseases of the musculoskeletal system is used in the acute period, during remission and as a preventive measure.

3. Gynecological pathologies - a magnetic session on the lower abdomen affects the organs of the female reproductive system through the abdominal cavity. It is also possible to insert the device through the vagina. The procedure is indicated for the following pathologies:

• inflammation of the ovaries of any complexity;
• adhesions in the genitourinary area;
• endocervicitis;
• vaginal inflammation;
• painful menstrual cycle.

Magnetic therapy can and is indicated for use during pregnancy, especially if disorders such as anemia, delayed fetal development, or gestosis occur.

4. Bone fractures - with the help of magnetic fields, the intensity of the pain syndrome is well reduced and the condition of the tissues improves:

• food supply increases;
• cell regeneration accelerates.

Physiotherapy sessions are especially relevant for complex fractures - malunion or the appearance of false joints.

5. Prostatitis - a magnetic field is prescribed in a course as part of a complex of therapeutic therapy, which leads to positive dynamics in the prostate gland:

• pain and inflammation are relieved;
• urination is normalized;
• leukocyte cells are activated and enlarged;
• Sexual functions are stabilized.

For the best result, it is necessary to undergo the full treatment complex.

6. Varicose veins - magnetic therapy has a general positive effect on the expansion of venous walls. Happens:

• stimulation of blood flow;
• prevention of thrombosis;
• oxygen nutrition;
• lymphatic drainage;
• resorption of hematological formations;
• elimination of inflammation.

Attention: for varicose veins, magnetic field treatment is only an auxiliary method and cannot be used as the main treatment.

Materials and methods

In the period from September 2004 to May 2006, 325 patients with various forms of surgical infection were treated at the Department of Purulent Surgery and the Physiotherapeutic Department of the State Military Clinical Hospital named after N.N. Burdenko, who received a course of combined magnetic therapy in parallel with “standard” methods of treatment.
To objectively assess the results of treatment, the medical histories of 250 patients (2003–2004) with approximately similar pathology, who underwent courses of local magnetic therapy during treatment, were analyzed. Characteristics of patients by nosological forms are presented in Table 1. Table 1: Distribution of patients by nosological forms

General surgical treatment of patients in both groups was identical, in accordance with the standards of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for specialized care for this category of patients, and included adequate surgical treatment, targeted antibacterial therapy, local and symptomatic treatment.
In addition, patients in both groups received courses of magnetic therapy in the early postoperative period. At the same time, patients in the control group underwent a course of local (on the lesion area) magnetic therapy with a Mag-30 device with an alternating magnetic field with an intensity of 30 mT and a duration of 12-15 days, 1-2 procedures per day. The only exceptions were patients in the control group suffering from paraproctitis. They did not undergo magnetic therapy due to the lack of a cavity inductor in the Mag-30 apparatus.

Patients in the main group received magnetic therapy using a multifunctional MT unit - POLYMAG-01. The device generates magnetic pulses of low intensity (from 1 mT to 30 mT), low frequency (from 2 Hz to 100 Hz). The magnetic therapy technique included: installing one inductor on the wound area to create an anti-inflammatory effect. The remaining inductors were placed on the torso in such a way as to obtain a solenoid effect to create an immunomodulatory effect. Magnetic therapy was carried out through a plaster cast, bandage, underwear, towel, cotton pad, etc. The duration of the course is 12-15 days, 1-2 procedures with simultaneous intravenous administration of etiotropic antibacterial drugs.
