Features of thermo- and electromyography in patients with vertebrogenic pain syndrome

Thermography and electroneuromyography parameters were studied in 34 patients with vertebrogenic pain syndrome associated lumbar spine stenosis. All treated the neurosurgical department of Irkutsk Scientific Centre Surgery Traumatology. We determined changes temperature values lower extremities under condition disorder peripheral nerves functional state. Purpose study : to evaluate thermography Materials methods . The article presents results severe degenerative stenosis part spinal canal preoperative period. Thermal-imaging was carried out using a thermovision camera SVIT-004, function Neuromian-1-04 neuromyoanalyzer. skin recording points corresponded projection stimulating pickup ENMG electrodes on spinous processes LIV, LV, SI vertebrae paravertebrally. Results side higher than intact at all measurement by 1–2 °C. At same time, electroneuromyographic these indicated decrease activity central motor apparatus. Conclusion change area irradiation occurs alongside
