SUMMARY The work shows that manual therapy leads to the cure of only 27.4% of patients with vestibulocochlear disorders in cervical myofascial pain syndrome. The therapeutic effect can be potentiated using the author’s scheme of prescribing balneo-, thalassotherapy and dosed marine procedures. This leads to an intensification of vertebrobasilar blood circulation by 34.7% and a complete regression of the manifestations of the disease in 46.3% of the observed patients. The
number of relapses during a three-year follow-up is reduced by 19.1%. Key words: myofascial pain syndrome, manual therapy, vestibulocochleardisorders,
balneotherapy, thalassotherapy.
