GARCIA ESPINOSA, Sarah María et al. Effectiveness of the ozone therapy, magnetism and electrostimulation in patients with pigmentary retinosis and glaucoma. MEDISAN [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.4. ISSN 1029-3019.

A study of evaluation of the therapeutic effectiveness in 21 patients with pigmentary retinosis associated to glaucoma was carried out. They were assisted in the Pigmentary Retinosis Clinic of Santiago de Cuba from May, 2008 to May, 2009. The values of visual acuity, visual field and tomography of the optic nerve allowed to measure the effectiveness of the treatments with ozone, magnetism and electrostimulation, when comparing the results of the visual quantifications obtained within a month with those made before beginning the therapy. The chronic glaucoma of open angle and the typical retinosis of autosomal recessive inheritance prevailed, as well as procedures such as trabeculectomy and revitalizing temporary surgery, respectively, with improvements or stability of the clinical pattern, confirmed through the modifications in the parameters after having applied the triple therapy. Favorable changes took place in most of the members of the case material.

Palabras clave : pigmentary retinosis; glaucoma; chronic glaucoma of open angle; typical retinosis with autosomal recessive inheritance; visual acuity; visual field; tomography of the optic nerve; ozone therapy; magnetism; electrostimulation.
