OBJECTIVE: To estimate early and long-term results of physical methods in the treatment of @entity3179 . METHOD: In group A after surgical operation, 40 @entity1 were treated with the high-voltage stimulation (HVS) (100   s, 100 Hz, 100 V) and drug therapy. In group B after operation, 37 @entity1 were treated with ultrasound (0.5 W/cm(2), 1 MHz) and drug therapy. In group C after operation, 33 @entity1 were treated with low-level laser therapy (LLLT) (810 nm, 65 mW) and drug therapy. In group D after operation, 35 @entity1 were treated with the compression stockings (25-31 mmHg) and drug therapy. In group E after operation, 37 @entity1 were only treated with drug therapy. Group F consisted of 32 @entity1 , conservatively treated with the HVS and drug therapy. Group G consisted of 20 @entity1 , conservatively treated with ultrasound and drug therapy. Group H consisted of 21 @entity1 , conservatively treated with LLLT and drug therapy. Group I consisted of 30 @entity1 , conservatively treated with compression and drug therapy. Group J consisted of 27 @entity1 only treated with drug therapy. RESULTS: Both short and long term parameters showed that compression therapy is the most efficient in @entity1066 . The electrical and ultrasound methods are less effective. The laser therapy ared useless. CONCLUSION: Superficial venous surgery in addition to compression therapy is the most efficient treatment of @entity3179 . The compression therapy should be continued both surgically and conservatively treated @entity1 with healed @entity1066 . In special cases after superficial venous surgery (isolated superficial reflux) compression therapy could be applied only to the time of @entity1066 closure without continuing it longer. HVS and ultrasound therapy are useful methods in conservative treatment of @entity3179 . For surgically-treated @entity1 these physical therapies are efficient only in superficial plus deep reflux cases. HVS and ultrasound can be alternative methods, but are less effective in recurrence risk. LLLT is not an efficient physical method in treatment of @entity3179 .
