Treatment of neurocirculatory dystonia in Kharkiv

Neurocirculatory dystonia is a complex of disorders arising from a disruption in the activity of the autonomic nervous system. According to WHO statistics, more than 30% of people are affected by this disorder.

The key center of the autonomic nervous system is the hypothalamus. Since under its control are the regulation of vascular tone and heart rate, metabolism, hunger, and many other processes, the disturbance of autonomic neuroregulation leads to their disorders.

• blood vessels and heart (fluctuations in blood pressure, changes in heart rhythm, increase in cardiac output, spasm of peripheral vessels, etc.);
• respiratory tract (shortness of breath, shallow and rapid breathing, etc.);
• thermoregulation systems (hyperhidrosis, increase or decrease in body temperature, etc.);
• genitourinary system (dysfunction of urine emission, decreased libido, etc.);
• gastrointestinal tract (functional disorders, pain syndrome, etc.);
• psyche (sensitivity to weather changes, insomnia and increased anxiety).
