Overview
Multifunction synchronizing biostimulator BIOSYNCHRON 500 involves three physical principles - thermotherapy, magnetotherapy, and phototherapy. All of these procedures are used in physiotherapy. The aim of the randomized study was to determine the BIOSYNCHRON 500 effects on both motoric and non-motoric symptoms of Parkinson’s disease during 2 weeks overnight therapy. There was no significant difference in changes of subjective and objective symptoms of the disease, but there was only non-significant subjective improvement in total clinical status. Prospective randomized studies with large number of Parkinson’s disease patients are needed to confirm the results of this study.
Key words:
thermotherapy, magnetotherapy, phototherapy, Parkinson’s disease
