| More Details: | Lumbar radiculopathy is characterized by signs and symptoms resulting from lumbar root dysfunction. This study evaluated the effectiveness of Korean medicine specifically targeting double crush syndrome in three inpatients diagnosed with L5 nerve root stenosis and peroneal nerve entrapments. Patients received integrative Korean medicine treatment with ultrasound-guided pharmacopuncture, and outcomes assessed using patient-reported scales and motor and sensory evaluations. The results indicate that significant improvements in muscle weakness and sensory disturbances can be achieved in patients with prolonged lumbar nerve compression when peripheral nerve entrapments are concurrently addressed. |
