It is likely that everyone fully understands the fact that if there was any effective way to treat a disease that guarantees recovery in 100% of cases, then doctors would not need to look for new and more effective methods in this direction. However, unfortunately, the growth of pancreatitis is gaining such rapid speed, and the lethal outcome is so common that doctors and scientists are forced to seek and try new ways of treating pancreatitis and its prevention. However, as practice shows, these studies are not in vain - many patients who could not help the existing methods of fighting inflammation of the pancreas, discoveries in the field of medicine made life much easier.
Modern methods of treating the pancreas unite not only the knowledge and experience of physicians, not only the developments in the field of pharmacology, but also take on the achievements of exact sciences, engineering and electronics. For example - laser therapy. The main area of its application is the treatment of patients who underwent surgery for acute pancreatitis. It is applied immediately after the operation on the pancreas and is carried out in stages:
- Percutaneous electroneurostimulation of the necessary parts of the pancreas.
- Actually laser therapy: laser scanning of the postoperative brine from a distance of about 1 cm.
The general course of treatment with laser therapy is 15 days of daily exposure. The effectiveness of this method is that laser therapy has an anti-inflammatory, analgesic effect and accelerates the healing of the scar after surgery on the pancreas.
Recalling modern methods of treating pancreatitis, we can not fail to mention the use of an alternating low-frequency magnetic field. Unlike the high-frequency method used earlier, this one does not produce thermal effects. As has been proved by numerous studies, the magnetic technique has an excellent anti-inflammatory effect, and besides - relieves pain caused by pancreatitis, soothes the pancreas, stimulates the immune system of a person. Also, thanks to this method of fighting pancreatitis, blood counts improve and microcirculation in tissues is enhanced.
Another new method of treating the pancreas was suggested by modern scientists. Strictly speaking, the new method is not the method, but its use in the disease of pancreatitis. He is in peloederapii - treatment of mud. As demonstrated by the practical application of this method, it promotes stimulation of restorative processes and eliminates various disorders of pancreatic microcirculation. This method not only makes fighting with pancreatitis more effective, but also activates the defenses of the body, and also helps in the treatment of concomitant diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
Another modern way to combat the disease is music electrotherapy. It affects not only the inflammatory process in the pancreatic gland, but also on a wider range of problems associated with the stomach, liver, intestines, bile ducts. Musical electrotherapy is based on the synchronous action of an electric pulse and listening to a musical piece. In this case, the patient chooses the music to his liking. The simplicity of this therapy makes it accessible to everyone.
New in the treatment of pancreatitis
In the medical treatment of pancreatitis, new methods have appeared. So, relatively recently, experts have identified the beneficial effect of mexidol on the outcome of the acute form of the disease. Tests were conducted on two groups of volunteers suffering from this disease. As a result, in the first group of patients who received mexidol, the operation was required only by a few people, in contrast to the second group of volunteers, where the number of operated ones was an order of magnitude greater.
In addition, intensive therapy with vitamins, as well as special medications with a high concentration of enzymes, was used to treat the disease in its chronic course.
A modern method of invasive treatment is the elimination of dysfunctional pancreatic tissue. In addition, in our time, specialists conduct and resection of the gallbladder.
New in the invasive treatment of pancreatitis - transplantation of the gland, as well as transplantation of β-cells. These cells produce insulin, which contributes to a favorable outcome of the disease. At the moment, scientific research is being carried out in the field of using stem cells to get rid of the serious form of the disease.
