Authors: Berestova N.N. Masharova S.A.

The present edition is prepared by experts of Scientific Practical Consultation Centre of “CEMMED” Group. It is based on the following: methodology recommendations, new updated medical technologies, instructions issued by the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russian Federation; methodology recommendations developed and recommended by the Scientific and Methodology Counsels of High Medical Schools as well as specialized research institutes, and they include as well Instructions on application of IR EHF therapy apparatus “TRIOMED” (approuved by the Order of the Russian health Supervision Board – Roszdravnadzor - dated 28.12.2009 #10684-Pr/09).

The edition clarifies only methods which medical doctor can recommend to the patient undergoing treatment in hospitals and policlinics or at home independently (under medical supervision) in order to ensure continuity, prophylaxis of exacerbations and complications of the main ailment, and as supporting treatment at the time of between the courses.

Recommended methods can be used subject to the prior familiarization with Instruction on application of IR EHF therapy apparatus “TRIOMED”.
