The impaired renal blood flow is one of the main pathogenesis mechanisms of urolithiasis (UL) development. Therefore, the rehabilitation programs involving non-drug methods for abnormal renal blood flow, including those after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ECSWL), still play a significant role. It is due to ECSWL, despite being noninvasive, is often associated with renal trauma, leading to various disorders, including impaired blood flow and renal function. To prevent complications after extracorporeal lithotripsy, relieve pain, improve renal blood flow, relieve spasm and facilitate excretion of fragments of broken concrements, we applied a combined vacuum-interference therapy, exerting an analgesic, antispasmodic and vascular effect.
