Abstract

This scientific work contains the results of a study conducted in patients with migraines, the effectiveness of hirudotherapy in people with headaches, in particular with migraines. The features of the manifestation of migraine from other diseases, as well as the economic costs associated with migraine, are described. The objective to study the effectiveness of hirudotherapy for migraines. The materials of our study were patients who received hirudotherapy on an outpatient basis. The patients' age ranged from 20 to 60 years, but the main contingent was made up of women aged 30-45 years. In a significant number of patients who received hirudotherapy, an improvement in the clinical picture was noted, while the therapeutic effect was felt after the first session. As the results of the study showed, treatment with leeches restores microcirculation and local immunity, correcting some pathological processes (microcirculation disturbance, hypoxia, etc.).
