Summary:

Objective: to determine the effectiveness of magnetopuncture techniques in the corrective treatment of asthenic syndrome with autonomic manifestations in operators. Material and methods. 66 employees of the operator service aged 24-47 years with asthenia were examined. A survey, a neurological examination, a subjective assessment of fatigue using Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) were conducted before and after treatment. Acupuncture treatment included 10 sessions of magnetopuncture. Results. After the course of magnetopuncture, there was an improvement in the condition of the patients, a significant decrease in the subjective assessment of fatigue on the FAS scale from 31.2 (28.6; 34.6) to 17.6 (15.4; 18.8) points (p=0.001). According to the data of the heart rate variability spectrum after corrective treatment, there was a significant increase in the high-frequency component (HF) in absolute values (p<0.001), as well as significant differences in the components of LF (p=0.011) and HF (p=0.027) in normalized units, and the ratio of the low-frequency component to the high-frequency one (LF/HF) (p=0.006). Conclusions. The proposed scheme of magnetopuncture is an effective non-drug technique for the correction of autonomic disorders in asthenic syndrome among operators, and can be used for complex rehabilitation.
