GoÄdenko VS.

Results of clinical and neurophysiological observations of 96 patients treated by the new method of microacupuncture are presented. This method is a modification of classical acupuncture, and consists of implantation of a specially designed micro-needle into the skin for a long time (one to three weeks). Possible mechanisms of the effects of this therapy method on the body are discussed. Recommendations on practical use of the microacupuncture method for treating vertebrogenic radicular syndromes are given.
