[The treatment results in a persistent pain syndrome in the neurological manifestation of lumbosacral osteochondrosis using osteoperiosteal electro- and laser puncture].
The use of osteoperiosteal electropuncture and laser puncture combined in a complex treatment of 162 patients with lumbosacral osteochondrosis resulted in dissipation or apparent decrement in clinical manifestations of the trouble. In patients with lumboischialgia, there was an improvement in the pain syndrome as evidenced by scores on global painfulness (2.3 +/- 0.45 versus 30.2 +/- 0.62 before the treatment) in patients with degree IV pain. Less intensive pain (degree II-III as to I. P. Antonov) has gone away completely. In radicular pain syndrome, results on pain relief were much lower (P < 0.05), those on total vertebral and extravertebral painfulness much better (2.4 +/- 0.2 versus 17.3 +/- 0.7 and 1.2 +/- 0.6 versus 30.4 +/- 1.82 respectively). The secured results of treatment remained stable during two years.
