[Treatment of patients with lumbar osteochondrosis by the method of intra-tissular electric stimulation]

The authors proposed the method of treatment of pain syndromes in case of the spine osteochondrosis--intratissular electrostimulation, consisting in application of electric current to the damaged vertebra by means of a needle-electrode. To determine the efficiency of the proposed method 2 groups of patients (140 persons) were treated by the traditional complex method and intratissular electrostimulation of the spine. The efficiency of the new method as compared with the other ones has been proven by means of complex investigation of the spine biomechanic and the state of muscles in dynamics.
