[Intravenous spondylo-infusion in the treatment of lumbar osteochondrosis].

Abstract

Using the intraosseous infusion technique, 87 patients with neurological symptoms of osteochondritis of lumbosacral intervertebral disks (study group) were treated. Sixty-six patients were treated by traditional drugs (control group). The study and control groups have been matched by age (mean 45 years) and symptoms--reflex-muscular, spondilosis radicular, Charcot's syndrome. An estimation of treatment efficiency was carried out by registration of somatosensory evoked potentials and ultrasonic dopplerography of the inferior vein cava and its branches as well as by measuring of intraosseous pressure in an acantha before and after infusion of a solution. The diskogenic neurological frustrations regressed more promptly and completely in the patients, to whom the intraosseous infusion technique has been applied. The positive correlation between clinical recovery and a decrease of a latency of somatosensory evoked potentials peaks is revealed. The intraosseous pressure in an acantha after a course intraosseous infusion was reduced. The directions for applying intraosseous infusion technique are developed.
