| Popis: | We conducted physical therapy for patients suffering from cervico-omo-brachial pain (n=22) with high frequency hyperthermia equipment by a capacitive electric transfer method, MD-303 (0.65 ± 0.05 MHz), which is employed in Europe and America. The 22 patients comprised 6 with cervical spondylosis deformans, 6 with cervico-omo-brachial pain syndrome, 4 with periarthritis scapulohumeralis, 3 with cervical sprain, 2 with tennis elbow, and 1 with RA hand. The electrotherapy was performed 10 times in total, for 20 min per time. A rise in skin temperature was observed even 15 min after treatment, with no occurrence of adverse reactions, and this therapy was highly effective in relieving pain, with an efficacy rate of 81.8%. This paper reports the results of the use of this therapy. |
