Die punktformige transkutane elektrische Nervenstimulation bei funktionellen vertebragenen Storungen und bei der Migräne

Journal/Book: Z Gesamte Inn Med. 1988; 43(22): 651-653.

Abstract: Chronic and frequently relapsing headaches as well as ìmyalgic-vertebragenic pain syndromes belong to the most frequent ìpain diseases. Among the non-medicamentous methods the techniques ìof the aimed reflex and stimulation therapy such as acupuncture, ìneural therapy and manual medicine particularly stood the test. ìAs a non-invasive alternative we try to replace the needle ìacupuncture by punctuate transcutaneous electric nerve ìstimulation. With the help of self-constructed pocket stimulating ìcurrent devices we treated 740 patients suffering from pain (420 ìwith myo-vertebragenic and 320 with primary headaches) and ìachieved 90% of immediate successes and 70-80% improvement after ì6 months. The treatments could be objectified thermometrically. ìOwn prospective randomized studies of placebo-treatment and ìmedicamentously controlled studies of treatment and changes of ìthe pain threshold by means of the PuTENS were briefly ìrepresented and the mechanism of action was discussed. The ìapplication of this effective, free of side effects, undangerous, ìeconomic method easily to be learned which is suitable for the ìautotherapy and sanatory therapy is recommended for the ìalleviation of pain.
