Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Painful peripheral neuropathy is a condition that may be associated with diabetes as well as other causes of neuropathy. Common treatments for the pain include topical application of capsaicin as well as using oral medications, typically gabapentin. The results are variable and rarely provide substantial lasting relief.
CASES: This report describes how a simple and easy to perform acupuncture technique-interosseous membrane stimulation-was used to treat painful neuropathy in 3 patients: 1 with painful diabetic neuropathy; 1 with idiopathic painful neuropathy; and 1 with painful neuropathy caused by exposure to Agent Orange while serving in Vietnam.
RESULTS: The 3 patients had much relief from the pain associated with their neuropathy for several weeks at a time. With regular treatments, sustained relief was obtained any without the addition of new medication.
CONCLUSIONS: Interosseous membrane stimulation is safe, simple, and effective for treatment of painful neuropathy. This treatment should be considered for patients who are suffering with painful neuropathy.
