The influence of the Yumeiho therapy procedure on central hemodynamics and its assessment

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine changes in central hemodynamics under the influence of the Yumeiho therapy procedure and to develop criteria for their evaluation

Material & Methods: 55 people who received Yumeiho therapy procedures at the "Yumeiho" center in Lviv were under supervision. Of them, 29 women aged 38.7 (32.0; 52.4) years and 26 men aged 35.8 (29.0; 46.6) years. The average age of the examinees was 37.5 (31.5; 47.2) years. All individuals had non-specific signs of manifestations of osteochondrosis of the spine. The methodology for the study of the indicators of the cardiovascular system involved the recording of blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in the supine position after 5 minutes of rest before the procedure, as well as after 5 minutes of rest in the supine position after the completion of the Yumeiho therapy

Results: stroke volume (SV, cm³), cardiac output (CO, dm³), general peripheral vascular resistance (GPVR, dyn/s/cm⁻⁵), cardiac index (CI, dm³/m²) and stroke index (SI, cm³/m²) were calculated according to known formulas. The analysis of changes in hemodynamic parameters during 1014 procedures was carried out. It is shown that in the Yumeiho-therapy procedure, there is a significant decrease in SV, CO, CI, SI and an increase in GPRV, both in men and in women. There is a decrease in the kinetics of blood circulation to the hypokinetic level.

Conclusions: the conducted study made it possible to establish that under the influence of Yumeiho therapy in patients there is a significant decrease in SV (cm³), CO (dm³), CI (dm³/m²), SI (cm³/m²), and a significant increase in GPRV (dyn/s/cm^–5). According to the apriori data of the percentile analysis of changes in hemodynamic parameters, the limits of pronounced deviations, which may indicate an inadequate reaction of the body to the procedure, are established. That is, the obtained results can be useful during operational control of the effect of the Yumeiho therapy procedure on the patient's body. In the future, it is possible to consider the use of Yumeiho therapy in cardiac patients.
