    Abstract:
    As many as 75 patients with a history of transitory disorders of cerebral circulation, minor brain strokes and brain strokes with minimum residual symptomatology were examined. Multimodality rehabilitation treatment of these patients included oxygen baths which were administered early (starting from the 4th-5th week since the moment of disorder onset) or in the long-term period. The conclusion is made that balneotherapy can be included into a complex of treatment measures along with antiaggregation remedies as early as possible, leading to improvement in 90% of patients together with recovery of normal function of hemostasis both in persons with the latent DVC syndrome and in those with hypercoagulation. It has been established that oxygen baths do not produce any angiospastic effect or material changes in the lipid content of blood serum. The treatment with the use of oxygen baths administered in the long-term period turned out less effective since only 46% of patients improved.
