The results of an analysis of circulation changes in the major vessels of the upper and lower extremities of 240 patients with vertebrogenic pain syndromes are reported. These changes were analyzed before and after treatment of the patients by the methods of acupuncture reflexotherapy (120 observations) and electron-ion reflexotherapy (the other 120 observations). Use was made of longitudinal rheovasography with contour analysis of the curves by the method of G. I. Enini (1965). It was found that the reflexotherapy produced a favourable effect on the peripheral circulation in patients with reflectory syndromes. In patients with spinal radicle compression no positive rheovasographic changes were noted.
