Dynamic electroneurostimulation in the correction of biochemical parameters and quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma

The biochemical parameters of blood and quality of life were studied in patients with multiple myeloma and peripheral polyneuropathy during treatment with dynamic electroneurostimulation. 106 patients were divided into 3 groups: the 1st group received a standard chemotherapy with a dynamic electroneurostimulation course, the 2nd group was treated with a simulated placebo device, the third one used the standard treatment. In the first group the number of serotonin and dopamine increased in the blood plasma of patients in the 1.3-fold. The epinephrine and insulin number tended to decrease, while the norepinephrine and cortisol concentration increased by 1.2 and 1.3 times respectively. In the comparison group, these values have not changed. Physical functioning, general health and vitality, according to the SF-36, increased by 1.5, 1.7 and 1.5 times in the first group respectively, compared with baseline values that differ from the identical parameters in groups of comparison.
