[Somatoneurological syndromes in diseases of the respiratory organs and approaches to their physiotherapeutic correction].

Literature data and original experience of the authors in 46 patients with pulmonary lesions (chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, postoperative conditions after pulmonary surgery) suggest the existence of relationships between pulmonary diseases and those of nervous system (central and peripheral). X-ray, ultrasound dopplerography of the major cerebral vessels, EEG and REG revealed cerebrovascular disorders (vascular insufficiency, slow venous outflow). Physiotherapy produced positive changes both in pulmonary and neurological disorders.
