They were divided in two groups. The patients of the control group received the basal broncholytic therapy in combination with the traditional spa and resort treatment. In the other group, they were additionally prescribed electrostimulation and colour impulse therapy. The results of both modalities were estimated based on the clinical picture, results of spirometry, and cardiac rhythm variability. The study has demonstrated that the combined physiotherapeutic treatment improves clinical and functional conditions of the patients, decreases the severity of obstructive lesions, and normalizes functional characteristics of the vegetative nervous system.chronic obstructive pulmonary diseasecardiac rhythm variabilitylow-frequency electrostimulation therapychromotherapyхроническая обструктивная болезнь легкихвариабельность ритма сердцаэлектростимуляция низкочастотным токомцветотерапия[Госн Л.
