METHOD OF COUPLING OSTEOCHONDROSIS TREATMENT IN CASES WITH RADICULAR PAIN SYNDROME Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61K31/51 A61K31/4415 A61B18/02 A61P19/00 A61N1/32 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention concerns medicine, physiotherapy and neurology and can be applied in treatment of coupling osteochondrosis cases with radicular pain syndrome. It involves sequential cryo-exposure and ampli-pulse phoresis in spine coupling area paravertebrally to the most painful points and to one of legs along the direction of spinal nerve roots affected by pathological process, on the background of traditional medication therapy. Cryo-exposure is performed continuously at (-6)-(-12)°C for 5-12 minutes at one field. Milgamma solution is applied by ampli-pulse phoresis. Anode is positioned at waist area, and forked cathode is positioned at posteroexternal thigh surface.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of pain syndrome alleviation and waist motion span increase, simplified ampli-pulse phoresis procedure.
