Problems solved by technology

However, in these methods, there are problems such as side effects due to analgesics, presence of drug-resistant patients, difficulty in controlling drug doses, etc.
In addition, there is nerve conduction block therapy as surgical therapy, but in addition to the above-mentioned problems, it is necessary to pay great attention to the risks associated with surgery
In addition, there are transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), transcutaneous electroacupuncture stimulation (TEAS), and silver spike point therapy (SSP therapy) as treatment methods that do not use drugs. However, evaluation of the effectiveness of these methods is inconclusive
In addition, as a method accompanying surgery, there is an epidural spinal cord stimulation electrode implantation method, but it is risky along with the surgery and burdens the patient who performs pain control at home

Embodiment 1

[0029] Next, an embodiment of an osteochondrosis treatment apparatus of the present invention in which a main body portion and an ultrasonic treatment head assembly are separately formed will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Such as figure 1 As shown, the osteochondrosis treatment device of the present invention includes a main body and an ultrasonic treatment head assembly in its overall appearance.

[0030] 1. Subject

[0031] Such as figure 2 As shown, the main body is composed of a power supply, a storage computing device, and an input and output device.

[0032]1) Power supply: The battery uses a non-rechargeable high-capacity lithium battery. There is no power switch, the power is turned on by operating the front panel, and the power is automatically cut off when the 20-minute treatment is over. In addition, in order not to generate ultrasonic output due to erroneous operation, unless the start button is pressed twice, ultrasonic will not be...

Embodiment 2

[0048] Using the device for treating osteochondrosis described in Example 1 above, it was confirmed that there is a therapeutic effect on patients with Osteo-Schter's disease.

[0049] (Objective) Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD), which is often diagnosed and treated as a sports injury in the growing period, has a relatively good recovery period, but in some cases, repeated exacerbations and remissions are considered difficult to continue treated cases. This time, we used low-intensity ultrasonic pulses to confirm the therapeutic effect on OSD patients who resisted conservative treatment.

[0050] (Target) OSD patients who came to the hospital from 2011 to 2013 were treated with the osteochondrosis treatment device of the present invention after resisting conservative therapy for more than half a year. Taking 9 cases with 12 knees as objects, 8 cases with 11 knees for men and 1 knee for women, aged 11 to 15 years old, with an average of 13.1 years old. The period from the onse...

Embodiment 3

[0054] Using the osteochondrosis treatment device described in Example 1 above, the therapeutic effect on patients with osteochondral injury of the humerus capitellum in baseball elbow was confirmed.

[0055] (Objective) Osteochondral injury of humeral head is a difficult disease for growing baseball players. This time, for patients after conservative therapy and disconnected cartilage fixation, the osteochondrosis treatment equipment of the present invention was used to irradiate low-intensity ultrasonic pulses, and the effect was observed.

[0056] (Methods) There were 10 patients aged 10.8-14.3 years (mean, 12.4 years old), 5 cases were in the initial stage of injury, 4 cases were in the developing stage, and 1 case was in the late stage. SAFHS TM Irradiate 20 minutes a day to the central part of the humeroflexural joint where the elbow joint is bent at 90 degrees.

[0057] (Results) 4 cases were recovered, 2 cases were incompletely recovered, 1 case was not recovered, an...

Abstract

A method for treating osteochondrosis comprising the irradiation of a joint of a patient of osteochondrosis with ultrasound is provided, as a method enabling the shortening of a period of a conservative treatment such as the limitation of movement, the treatment of a case which does not respond to a conservative treatment and the alleviation of pain by accelerating the repair of a damaged site of osteochondrosis. As an apparatus therefor, an apparatus for treating osteochondrosis comprising an ultrasound treatment head module having a built-in ultrasound transducer and applying ultrasound on a joint caput site of a patient of osteochondrosis, a control means for controlling the ultrasound, and a joint fixing means having functions of fixing the joint at a specified angle in the patient of osteochondrosis and simultaneously fixing the ultrasound treatment head module on the joint site is provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a treatment method for osteochondrosis and treatment equipment thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a treatment device therefor for alleviating Osgood-Schlatter disease, sports elbow (baseball elbow, tennis elbow, etc.) , Kienbock's disease (Kienbock's disease) and other osteochondrosis pain, and promote the repair of damaged parts, thereby shortening the treatment cycle or avoiding invasive surgery. Background technique [0002] It is fully empirically considered that mechanical stimulation is effective for the treatment of fractures, and a large number of researchers have also conducted experimental and clinical studies on it. Kenwright et al. of the University of Oxford reported a method of repeatedly giving axial compression stimulation (20 minutes a day, 0.5Hz (=600 times) a small movement of 1mm in the direction of the long axis of the bone) directly to the fracture site through an ex...
