BACKGROUND/AIM: Lumbar radiculopathy refers to the disruption of one or more lumbosacral nerve root functions, usually causing radiating pain and functional impairments.
We aimed to analyze the role of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) alone or in association with physiokinesiotherapy (PKT) in treating lumbar radiculopathy. A total of 41 patients diagnosed with lumbar radiculopathy were randomly allocated to the rPMS group and the rPMS plus PKT group. Subjects were then administered a total of 10 treatment sessions.
A statistically significant improvement was highlighted in both groups in terms of pain score, and electromyography (EMG) analysis depicted a far superior functional recovery in the rPMS plus PKT group.
rPMS can constitute an effective treatment for subjects with lumbar radiculopathy and its association with a complex physical rehabilitation program could improve the outcome in these patients.
背景/目的:腰椎神经根病是指一个或多个腰骶神经根功能紊乱,通常会导致放射性疼痛和功能障碍。
我们旨在分析单独使用或联合物理康复治疗(PKT)的重复外周磁刺激(rPMS)在治疗腰椎神经根病中的作用。共 41 名被诊断为腰椎神经根病的患者被随机分配到 rPMS 组和 rPMS 联合 PKT 组。然后,两组患者均接受了 10 次治疗。
两组患者的疼痛评分均有显著改善,肌电图(EMG)分析显示 rPMS 联合 PKT 组的功能恢复更优。
rPMS 可作为腰椎神经根病患者的有效治疗方法,其与复杂的物理康复方案联合应用可改善此类患者的治疗效果。
