The biopuncture in dorsopathy.

Area of Science:

• Integrative Medicine
• Pharmacology
• Neurology

Background:

• Dorsopathies, particularly at the lumbosacral level, affect a wide population with prolonged courses and severe consequences.
• Biopuncture, or pharmacopuncture, involves localized drug administration at acupuncture points.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of biopuncture in treating lumbosacral dorsopathies.
• To investigate the combined effects of biopuncture with other therapeutic modalities.

Main Methods:

• Research involved scientific and practical studies on biopuncture for lumbosacral dorsopathies.
• Methods included administration of drugs (e.g., Alflutop, essential oils) and complex agents at acupuncture points.
• Electrophysiological and psychological examinations were used to assess patient status.

Main Results:

• Biopuncture demonstrated additive and potentiating effects on reflex and drug mechanisms.
• Patients receiving biopuncture showed significant improvements in psychological and electrophysiological parameters.
• Biopuncture with Alflutop exhibited superiority over other methods, inducing structural changes in intervertebral discs.

Conclusions:

• Biopuncture is an effective treatment for lumbosacral dorsopathies, enhancing reflex and drug actions.
• Combined therapies, including drug blockade and pharmacopuncture, improve therapeutic outcomes.
• The integration of modern hardware techniques and essential oils further enhances biopuncture efficacy.
