Reflex therapy in the acute period of mild closed craniocerebral trauma

We followed up 287 patients (102 men and 185 women aged 19 to 60 years) who suffered mild concussion and contusion of the brain. Of them, 112 patients were treated with acupuncture (except for drugs of psychotropic and vegetative action, analgesics and sleeping pills). The control group consisted of 175 people treated in the acute period according to conventional methods, including dehydration, desensitization and sedation therapy. Hospitalization was performed in the first hours-days after injury. Clinical, radiological, and electrophysiological examinations were performed.
