[Acupuncture reflexotherapy of neurogenic bladder dysfunction in children with enuresis].

The urodynamics of the lower urinary tract was evaluated in 25 children treated for enuresis. The unstable bladder was observed in 16 patients. Twelve children with detrusor hyperreflexia comprised the largest group. Acupuncture was beneficial in 17 cases. The follow-up showed its detrusor-stabilizing effects in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunctions. The success of the therapy is depended on the patients' mental and emotional status, concurrent abnormalities and accuracy in observing the practitioner's recommendations. The mechanisms of therapeutic effects of acupuncture are also discussed.

[Neuro-reflexotherapy intervention in the treatment of non specified low back pain: a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial].

BACKGROUND: Nonspecific low back pain is a very common disorder for which no completely satisfactory treatment has been established. A randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial was design to assess the efficacy of neuro-reflexotherapic intervention in the treatment of this condition. METHODS: Ninety-one patients with a confirmed diagnosis of nonspecific low back pain were referred for treatment from primary health care facilities in the Spanish National Health System. A total of 43 patients were assigned to the control group and 48 to the treatment group. Patients in the treatment group received a single neuro-reflexotherapic intervention. Patients in the control group underwent a similar procedure, although inappropriate zones were stimulated. Patients in both groups were allowed to continue drug and physiotherapy treatments prescribed by their general practitioners. According to the design the study was ended when statistically significant and clinically evaluable results were obtained in an analysis carried out half way through the study. RESULTS: Participants underwent clinical evaluations on three occasions: immediately prior to intervention, immediately after and on day 30 afterwards. Patients in the treatment group showed immediate clinically and statistically significant improvements (p < 0.0001) in pain, muscular contracture and mobility, allowing them to discontinue pharmacological treatment and keeping them free of symptoms during the study period. CONCLUSIONS: According to results of this study, neuro-reflexotherapic intervention has proved to be an effective method for treating low back pain.

[The use of acupuncture reflexotherapy in the combined treatment of patients with chronic gouty polyarthritis].

A total of 38 patients with gout presenting with clinical signs of chronic polyarthritis were examined. Of these, 15 subjects were controls, who were treated with oplopurinol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug preparations, and intra-articular administration of glucocorticosteroids. 23 patients were placed into the main group, who, apart from the above treatment, received several acupuncture treatments. By the end of the in-patient course of treatment the values for the articular index and visual scale of pain were found to be significantly lower in the main group than they were in controls. The conclusion reached was that acupuncture in a combined treatment of patients with chronic podagric polyarthritis will help in enhancing the efficacy of the described treatment.
