Introduction: Oncothermia (OTM) is based on electromagnetic interactions with the living organism.Its nano-targeting approach [established a newer paradigm, which could be applied not only in case of malignancies but in any other diseases, when the non-selective conditions are existing.This technique by now is well proven from the simple laboratory level to the several different clinical applications.Oncothermia method ignites the natural processes to rescue them from the system, re-establishing the better communication harmony between the cells of organism.This method will lead us to the treatment of some non-malignant diseases too to try delaying their development or offering earlier recovery.Our aim was to use OTM on the common basis of equilibrium demand; and use the recognition of the deviations from the complex harmony of the organism or its part for selection to act properly. Study protocol and Method:Oncothermia was successfully applied for non malignant conditions like Lyme disease, for non-specific lowback pain, for Peyronie disease, and for Dupuytren's contracture, too.We made more extended study, proving in details the applicability of the OTM in these diseases, especially in the situations when traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is also applicable (acupuncture, permanent needle techniques).Our special permanent acupuncture method was proven previously and well fits to the complementary applications. Results & Discussion:The synergy of the ancient knowledge -application of heat energy -and the high-tech state-of-art of the medical knowledge could be established with our research.Recognition of the distortions in the healthy tissue have some common principles and possibilities in TCM and OTM: the left complexity of the living organization is recognized by both the methods.OTM application is a useful, harmless additional complementary treatment for management of selected diseases.Our topic is giving western trained physicians clinical applications of modern (Oncothermia-Booster) as a physiotherapeutic -equipment to accommodate accelerating interests in modern complex treatment of chronic low back pain and Dupuytren's contracture. Conclusion:In recent study data verified the relevant end-points of the study: the safety, the quality of life (QoL), the shortened rest time, duration of painless state, cost/benefit ratio.
The article reports on a case which appeared as though two tunnel syndromes were present simultaneously, namely, the cubital and the carpal tunnel syndromes. Thorough electrophysiological examination revealed, however, that this simulated pattern was due to the presence of an anastomosis after Martin-Gruber. Three months after surgery the patient was free from symptoms. Intraoperative neurography had established the compression and its resolution. Anastomosis of Riche-Canieu was an additional, secondary finding.
Oncothermia (OTM) is based on electromagnetic interactions with the living matter. Its nano-targeting approach establishes a new paradigm. OTM could be applied not only to treat malignancies but it is feasible to apply for other diseases too. OTH is well proven method from the laboratory level to the clinical applications, promoting the natural processes, re-establishing of the synchronization between the cells. This approach allows therapy of some non-malignant diseases too. Our objective is to use OTM for the irregularities of tissue-growth and for pain syndromes as well. OTM uses precisely tuned radiofrequency (RF) current flowing through the treated part of the body. We made extensive study, proving in details the applicability of the OTM for Dupuytren's contracture and chronic low back pain, in conjunction with permanent acupuncture method, a modified process of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The synergy of the ancient and the state-of-art medical knowledges is the basic method of the present research. Our results with application of OTM for chronic low back pain and Dupuytren's contracture shows definite improvements of the patients involved in the study. We measured the success with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), with anecdotic quality of life (QoL), and the shortening of the of-work period due to the disease. We measured that VAS decreased significantly, the hand contracture became less rigid and less contracted. The QoL of patients improved and their complaints which blocked their regular activity has significantly reduced. OTM method was safe & no adverse effects were observed. Recognition of the distortions in the healthy tissue have some common principles and possibilities in TCM and OTM: both the methods recognize the loss of complexity of the living organization. Data of our recent study verified the relevant end-points of our present study: the safety, the quality of life (QoL), the prolonged painless status of the patient.
Objectives:The aim of our newer study involving more numbers of patient was to investigate whether permanent acupuncture, especially Yamamoto's New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA), and is of value in additional to standard post-stroke motor rehabilitation elevating QoL of patients with higher self-management. Design:A prospective, assessor-blinded randomized control trial was carried out in an outpatient stroke rehabilitation unit with day hospital service again enrolled 520 cases.After inclusion, patients were stratified into control group and acupuncture group, randomly.All of stratified patients participated in gymnastic exercises and conservative pharmacological treatment according western rehabiliation protocol. Outcome measures:The Barthel Index, the Rivermead Scale Index, the SP-36 questionnaire and the Visual Analogue Scale were used to follow the efficacy of treatment.Results: In the acupuncture group, all the sensory, motor, and functional scores improved significantly during the examination period until 3 years after injury.The Barthel Index is increased from 4±2 to 95±4 in the acupuncture group.This index also increased in the control group (from 4±2 to 75±4), but the changes were significantly less than in the acupuncture group.A significant spontaneous recovery during the 3-year follow-up was found, but the YNSA treatment facilitated the functional recovery not only in moving but generally in cognitive functions and memory.Improved moving function and more flexible joints and ligaments were observed in comparison to the patients' condition prior to treatment. Conclusions:The data suggest that the YNSA acupuncture is a useful complementer method to treat residual symptomes of stroke patients and enhance their quality of life, to achieve higher self-management level.As soon as possible after stroke this method should be started if cardio-pulmonal condition of patient is ballanced and allowed it.This study was a reproduction of our earlier research with more participants to allowed us to prove advantages of early application of permanent acupuncture treatment
