METHOD OF EFFICIENCY CONTROL OF LUMBER-CROSS RADICAL RADIACULOPATHIA TREATMENT, DISORDERED BY HERBS OF INTERVERSAL DISCS, ULTRASOUND-CONTROLLED EPIDURAL BLOCKADE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61B8/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to neurology, and can be used to control the effectiveness of lumbosacral radiculopathy due to herniated intervertebral discs, ultrasound-controlled epidural blockades. On 7–10th day after beginning of treatment ultrasound survey is carried out in mode of elastography of rotation waves. As a measure, Young's module Emean of the back contour of the intervertebral disc is used. With a decrease in its value below 37.5 kPa treatment is considered effective, further treatment with ultrasound-controlled epidural blockades is stopped. With a Young's modulus of Emean above 37.5 kPa, treatment is considered ineffective and the implementation of ultrasound-controlled epidural blockades continues until the value of Young's Emean modulus is lower than 37.5 kPa. Examination of Young's module Emean after the treatment is carried out after 7 days.

EFFECT: method provides high accuracy and reliability of the effectiveness control of lumbosacral radiculopathy by determining the objective elastography index.
