The results of treatment of 58 patients with various forms of neurosis by intermittent thermal exposure (thermal pulsation) in the respiratory rhythm to the nosolabial reflexogenic zone are analyzed using clinical and electrophysiological methods. Thermal pulsation was produced with the help of a specially designed apparatus (an electronic thermopulsator with a respiratory adaptor). The use of impulse thermal energy was shown to bring about positive changes on the part of clinical and paraclinical indices in the majority of patients. The most prominent effects were observed in the sphere of non-differential manifestations of neurosis: astheno-depressive disturbances, vegetative dysfunction and nocturnal sleep disorders.
