Möglichkeiten der Neuraltherapie in der Inneren Medizin

Journal/Book: Zeitschrift für die gesamte Innere Medizin. 1988; 43: 643-645.

Abstract: Neural therapy is the diagnostic-therapeutic application of local anaesthetics, in order to be able to treat functional, painful, reversible diseases, disturbed regulations including inflammations. The results of the cure are to be explained by complex neurophysiologic, electrophysiologic, molecularbiologic, immunologic, humoral and thus cybernetic courses of reaction. Neural therapy is to be used under two complexes. Firstly, symptomatically in the segment as weal, in trigger points, an and in joint structures, in vessels, muscular and tendon attachments, sympathetic-parasympathetic ganglia in order to cause a regulating effect, for instance by Interruption of nociceptive afferences, blocking of sympathetic efferent reflexes in the sense of the sympathetic reflex dystrophy. Secondly, causally at the focus of disturbance or in the peripheral irritation centre, which may be a scar, the nasopharyngeal space, the abdomen, the spine and other things. in order to eliminate the cause of the disturbance. From the variety of the effects of the local anaesthetics, like membrane stabilizing, antihistaminic, catecholamine-decreasing, choline receptor inhibiting, antiarrhythmie at the cardiac muscle results their multifarious use, also in internal medicine. The neural therapy is effective, economic, poor in side effects, closes therapeutic gaps and is well to be combined with other successful medical treatments, especially of reflex-therapeutic kind. Exact clinical diagnostics, good knowledge in anatomy, technical ability of the therapeutist as well as theoretical basic knowledge are prerequisite for the use of the neural therapy.
