Sugar Injections Resolve
Chronic Neck Pain
Researchers writing in Practical Pain Management (October 2007)
say that simple dextrose (sugar) injections improved pain
symptoms and quality of life in chronic neck pain sufferers.
The researchers studied 98 patients who had suffered with
chronic
neck pain for a
near average of five years and who during that time had visited
with an average of three physicians/pain specialists without
satisfactory resolving of their pain.
Physicians then performed
Prolotherapy, a series of injections
of a dextrose (sugar) solution into the neck. In Prolotherapy
dextrose is used as an irritant to stimulate the immune system
to rebuild and repair damaged ligaments, tendons, and other
connective tissue that hold the muscles and bones of the neck in
place.
Lead researcher and physician, Ross Hauser, M.D., writes, "The
results of this study showed that patients had a statistically
significant decline in their level of pain, stiffness and
crunching sensation with Prolotherapy. This included clients who
were told by their M.D.(s) that there were no other treatment
options or that surgery was their only answer for their chronic
pain. More than 83% of patients showed improvements in walking
ability, exercise ability, anxiety,
depression and overall
disability with Prolotherapy. Ninety percent of patients who
were on medications at the start of Prolotherapy were able to
cut their
pain medication usage by 50% or more. Additional pain
management care was able to be lessened by 50% or more in 75% of
cases with Prolotherapy. Ninety-eight percent of patients stated
their pain was better with Prolotherapy. Ninety-seven percent of
patients said Prolotherapy changed their life for the better."
Further studies on Prolotherapy are currently being performed by
many groups. |
