[Electromyographic characteristics of the effectiveness of puncture reflexotherapy in vertebral osteochondrosis with neurologic syndromes].

Results of an analysis of myoelectrogenesis changes that occurred in the course of treating 240 patients with neurological syndromes of vertebral osteochondrosis are presented. The patients were given acupuncture and electro-ionic (microiontophoresis of medicinal substances into the acupuncture sites) reflexotherapy. The efficacy of these methods in the treatment of the reflectory and compression syndromes is analyzed, and so is the informative value of total electromyography in estimating the effectiveness of the treatment being given.
