The aim of the present study at Ryazan State Medical University was to conduct a hygienic evaluation of hospital wards equipped with therapeutic sylvinite screens (TSS) and to compare the treatment outcomes of 80 patients with vulgar psoriasis using TSS with those without TSS.
The sylvinite screens made it possible to create a comfortable microclimate in the wards and moderately increased the radiation background, enriching the atmosphere of the ward with aeroions consisting mainly of light negative particles.
This healthy environment had a positive impact on the clinical course of the psoriatic process, the state of the patients' functional systems and their quality of life.
It is concluded that the introduction of halotherapy in the treatment of patients with vulgar psoriasis makes it possible to achieve clinical remission in 65% of cases, compared to 20% of patients treated with traditional treatment.
