The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of laser therapy in
combination with basic pharmacotherapy in 72 patients with occupational chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease of moderate and severe degree during the
exacerbation period. For the treatment of patients in the comparison group,
traditional therapy was used in accordance with the treatment standards. The
course of laser therapy was conducted by a semiconductor laser device Mustang
2000 with a radiating head KLOZ-2000. Analyzing the obtained data, it can be
suggested that this method allows accelerating the normalization of clinical
indicators, improving external respiration indicators and extending the
remission period.
