Klimova Adelya Restemovna

In this article, the effectiveness of spa treatment was studied in 120 children aged 4-17 years with pathology of the musculoskeletal system (MSS): secondary osteoarthritis (OA), idiopathic scoliosis (IS). The main focus was on the use of sulfide mud from Lake Tuzluchnoye and brine baths from Lake Razval (Orenburg Region). As a result of this study, differentiated methods of balneopeloide therapy were developed, taking into account age, diagnosis, temperature regime, and duration of the procedure. To objectively assess the effectiveness of the treatment of children with secondary ОА and IS, clinical markers were determined (pain syndrome (points), pain intensity according to the VAS (cm), Richi index (points), limitation of mobility (points), Leken index (points). Thus, the inclusion of sulfide mud from Lake Tuzluchnoye and highly mineralized sodium chloride water from Lake Razval in the complex treatment of children with MSS prolongs the period of remission and has a positive effect on the clinical course of the disease.
