Changes in bronchial permeability in response to ultrasound and electric stimulation of the reflexogenic nasal zones by flow-volume forced expiration parameters were studied in patients with vasomotor rhinitis and bronchial asthma. The procedure employed step-by-step rise in intensity of the physical impact, change of polarity of the intranasal electrode. The rhinobronchial reflex proved heterogenic, it can lead to either deteriorated or improved bronchial permeability. In view of possible bronchoconstrictive reactions in the course of endonasal procedures it is necessary to furnish physiotherapeutic departments with devices of urgent control over clinico-functional condition of the patient.
