Abstract

The method of pathogenetic treatment of patients with Tourette's syndrome (TS) by means of low-intensity infrared laser irradiation was elaborated. Both elevation of the level of xantine oxidase, the inducer of lipid peroxidation, and the decrease of activity of superoxide dismutase, enzyme of the antioxidative defence, were revealed. The correction of antioxidative system was carried out by means of method of over venous laser irradiation of blood together with administration of decreased doses of neuroleptics (orap and haloperidol). Thus, the compensation of patients' clinical state was achieved. The elevated doses of neuroleptics were necessary in control group (without laser therapy application). The stability of the effect was observed in a year according to clinical and biochemical findings.
