Prospective Clinical Study

The purpose of this study was to clarify the efficacy of acupuncture in the prophylaxis of migraine. 39 patients were treated by acupuncture given 5 times at weekly intervals. 92% of patients improved with acpuncture initially. Six months later 54% had relapsed to their pre-acupuncture state. The present study does not exclude the possiblity that the results were due to suggestion.

In this prospective clinical study, the Q-Switched Nd:YAG 1064 nm/532 nm laser (Light Age, Inc., Somerset, NJ, USA) was used on 131 onychomycosis subjects (94 females, 37 males; ages 18 to 68 years). Mycotic cultures were taken and fungus types were detected. The laser protocol included two sessions with a one-month interval. Treatment duration was approximately 15 minutes per session and patients were observed over a 3-month time period. Laser fluencies of 14 J/cm2were applied at 9 billionths of a second pulse duration and at 5 Hz frequency. Follow-up was performed at 3 months with mycological cultures. Before and after digital photographs were taken. Adverse effects were recorded and all participants completed “self-evaluation questionnaires” rating their level of satisfaction. All subjects were well satisfied with the treatments, there were no noticeable side effects, and no significant differences were found treating men versus women. At the 3-month follow-up 95.42% of the patients were laboratory mycologically cured of fungal infection. This clinical study demonstrates that fungal nail infections can be effectively and safely treated with Q-Switched Nd:YAG 1064 nm/532 nm laser. It can also be combined with systemic oral antifungals providing more limited treatment time.

End Results

A randomized prospective clinical study was carried out in 33 patients (37 lingers) with lacerations of both FDS and FDP tendons in the area covered by the A2 pulley, that is, zone 2C in Tang’s subdivision of no man’s land. Both lacerated tendons were repaired in 19 fingers and repair of only FDP with regional excision of FDS were performed in 18 fingers. Follow-up of average 12 months revealed that there was no significant difference in the end results evaluated according to the TAM system. The average TAM was 204° in the fingers with suture of FDP only and 187° in those with suture of both tendons. The fingers with suture of both tendons showed a higher rate of re-operation due to adhesions or rupture of repair. This study suggests that it is better to repair only FDP with regional excision of FDS when both tendons are injured in zone 2C.
