[Periosteal vacuum-stimulation as a method of acupuncture in the treatment of lumbosacral pain syndromes].
A new technique is offered to treat the vertebrogenic lumboischialgies and lumbosacral radicular syndromes with periosteal vacuum application through tubular needles to the diseased vertebrae and sclerotomic zones. In a majority of 134 patients that underwent the combined therapy involving this technique improvement or substantial improvement was attained and documented with parametric tests (Lasseg symptom, the volume of vertebral motility, pain thresholds). The technique allowed a shortened average hospital stay of the patients and the duration of their sick leave. Some considerations are presented as to the possible mechanisms of therapeutic effect of the inttrvention.
