[Potentialities of traction therapy for diskogenic compressive radicular syndromes]

Vopr Kurortol Fizioter Lech Fiz Kult. 2009 Mar-Apr; 13-5Ziniakov NN, Ziniakov NTThis study included 78 patients with lumbar subligamentary herniation. Based on their clinical and functional examination, several variants of diskogenic radiculopathies were distinguished. Special emphasis was laid on the evaluation of efficiency of underwater vertical traction in these patients. The proposed method was shown to produce better effect than underwater horizontal traction when used for the treatment of both axonopathies and axonomyelinopathies. The efficiency of underwater vertical traction applied to the treatment of axonopathies appears to be higher than in patients with axonomyelinopathies.

Peridural injection of Mailuoning compound liquor for treatment of prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc in 100 cases.

J Tradit Chin Med. 2009 Mar; 29(1): 6-8Zhi MX, Zhang GB, Hou JC, Yang YH, Wan ZZOBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effects of peridural injection of Mailuoning Compound Liquor for prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc (PLID). METHODS: Peridural injection of Mailuoning Compound Liquor (MCL) was given to 100 cases of PLID, once a week, 4 sessions constituting a therapeutic course. By adopting the scoring method, observations were carried out on the total therapeutic effect and changes in the 13 items of the symptoms and signs. RESULTS: After treatment, the JOA scores in this series of patients were markedly enhanced as compared with the scores before treatment, showing significant differences in the paired t test (P

[Clinical observation on Xiaoyusan plaster and Daoyin in the treatment of disease of cervical vertebrae]

Zhongguo Gu Shang. 2009 May; 22(5): 357-9Teng WROBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Xiaoyusan plaster and Daoyin in the treatment of cervical vertebrae disease, to search new methods in the treatment of cervical vertebrae disease. METHODS: From May 2007 to April 2008, 63 patients with disease of cervical vertebrae were treated. By odd or even numbers in random digits table, the patients were randomly divided into two groups included treatment group and control group. Thirty-three patients in the treatment group were treated with Xiaoyusan plaster and Daoyin included 21 males and 12 females with an average age of (30.60+/-7.89) years ranging from 20 to 49. Thirty patients in the control group were treated with Votalin Sustained Release Tablets included 16 males and 14 females with an average age of (32.43+/-8.00) years ranging from 20 to 49. The pain, pressing pain, activity of cervical vertebrae were observed before and after treatment in two groups. RESULTS: Compared the scores before and after treatment in treatment group: pain (t=8.953, P
