Here, we studied the application efficiency of the whole-body extreme air cryotherapy in treatment of patients. The persons with borderline mental disorders demonstrated a decrease in asthenic disorders (66.4%), neuro-mental stress (82.8%), trait and state anxiety (44.9 and 67.2%, respectively), improved well-being (36.2%), mood (31%), and increased activity (43.1%). Quite a complete or partial regression of cephalic syndrome (78.8 and 21.2%, respectively), no vestibulocerebellar syndrome (68.2%), partial regression (31.8%) were revealed in patients with vascular pathology. Patients with
musculoskeletal diseases had a decreased or levelled pain syndrome (100 and 77.7%, respectively), as well as reduced clinical and neurological manifestations (78.6%), an increase in daily motor activity (94.3%), diminished restriction in standing and walking (94.3%). The individualization of cryotherapy in a combined rehabilitation therapy for patients with this pathology has enabled improving the treatment efficiency and reducing the therapy terms at the minimum drug cost.
