Optimization of reflexology techniques in treatment of lumbosacral dorsopathies

Abstract

This article focuses on estimation of the therapeutic efficacy and reliability of modern reflexology technologies in treatment of patients with dorsopathy at lumbosacral level. We observed 90 patients aged 26 to 52 years; methods of examination included clinical, pathopsychological and electrophysiological analysis. Patients were distributed into 3 groups: in the first 2 groups we used Zell T preparation which is indicated for pathology of the musculoskeletal system. In the control group the drug was used intramuscularly, in the main - by pharmacopuncture. In the control group (placebo) saline injections were performed. In case of pharmacopuncture addition of reflex and drug units in the form of therapeutic effectiveness and reliability was established, whereas in response to the use of saline (placebo) - instable results were achieved. Cumulative therapeutic effect of the standard drug use was also demonstrated. In general, this study expands the evidence base for application of acupuncture methods in treatment of dorsopathies.
