Microwave and circular compression to limbs on treating diabetic peripheral neuritis
Abstract：AIM: To study the effects of treating diabetic neuritis by microwave and circulated compression to limbs.METHODS: The microwave and Bio-compression sequential circulator model 3004 were used, which is a complete system encompassing pneumatic pump and an arm or leg sleeve with permanently attached tubing. Each sleeve was divided into ten compartments that inflated in a directional manner moving fluid and increasing circulation. Pressure in each of the compartments could be individually adjusted to accommodate each patients' need(4 - 13.5 kPa once a day, for 30 minutes).RESULTS: After the therapy, of all the 63 cases, validity and total effectiveness of treating group were respectively 95% and 68% compared to 54%and 16% of control group. There was a significant difference between the two groups( t = 11.9 - 12.2, P ＜ 0.01 ). Conductive speed of motor nerves was significantly increased after treatment( t = 0. 55 - 8.34, P ＜ 0.01 ).CONCLUSION: Microwave and circulated compression to limbs combined with medicine to treat diabetic peripheral neuritis is proved to be a better way.
