[Combined use of cutaneous electrostimulation of nerve fibers and electrogymnastics of the spine in painful vertebrogenic syndromes]. 1987

M Kh Starobinets, and L D Volkova

A combined use of acupunctural cutaneous electrostimulation of neural fibers and electrogymnastics of the vertebral column was tested in 40 patients with vertebral osteochondrosis accompanied by the muscle tonic or compression radical syndrome. Electrostimulation was performed bilaterally in the paravertebral areas at the level of the blocked motor segment, using series of impulses and achieving rhythmical flexing-unflexing movements of a small range in the damaged segment of the spinal column. Positive effect was obtained in all patients with the muscle tonic syndrome and in half the patients with the compression radical syndrome.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008159	Lumbar Vertebrae	VERTEBRAE in the region of the lower BACK below the THORACIC VERTEBRAE and above the SACRAL VERTEBRAE.	Vertebrae, Lumbar

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009408	Nerve Compression Syndromes	Mechanical compression of nerves or nerve roots from internal or external causes. These may result in a conduction block to nerve impulses (due to MYELIN SHEATH dysfunction) or axonal loss. The nerve and nerve sheath injuries may be caused by ISCHEMIA; INFLAMMATION; or a direct mechanical effect.
