Interventional Radiologists See 'Significant' Symptom Relief in MS Patients
Tutkijat kartoittivat kaikkiaan 192 operoidun kokemukset pallolaajennuksista/ operaatioista ja kyselyn tulokset olivat erittäin rohkaisevia.
"Results of the study were quite exciting and promising," stated Mandato. "We can attest to significant physical improvements reported in greater than 75 percent of those with relapsing remitting and primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis. Additionally, mental health scores improved in greater than 70 percent of individuals studied. People with secondary progressivemultiple sclerosis showed statistically significant improvements in both physical and mental health scores at a rate of 59 percent and 50 percent, respectively," he added.
"During a four-month period, we treated 213 individuals. 192 of these patients (72 men, 141 women; average age 49 years) responded to a standard questionnaire that evaluated key quality of life components including changes in physical abilities, health perception, energy/fatigue, sexual function, emotional well-being, cognition and pain," explained Meridith J. Englander, M.D., also an interventional radiologist at Albany Medical Center and one of the study's co-authors. "We ultimately broke this data down into physical and mental health scores for each person, and found improvement in both components of quality of life," she added. "In addition, we found a trend that patients undergoing this treatment more than 10 years after diagnosis did not respond as well as those with a more recent diagnosis."
On hienoa nähdä, kuinka CCSVI:n parissa työskentelevät verisuoniasiantuntijat ovat selkeästi innoissaan aiheesta ja miksipä eivät olisi, sillä alustavat kokemukset pilottitutkimuksista ovat olleet rohkaisevia.
Videolla New York:n tiimin jäsen Kenneth Mandato esittelemässä "turvallisuus tutkimuksen" tuloksia noin vuosi sitten, maaliskuussa 2011. Tutkimuksen päätelmä oli se, että laskimo operaatiot ovat varsin vähäriskinen toimenpide.
New York:n ryhmä on julkaissut tutkimus tietoa myös heinäkuussa 2011: Symptom Improvement Observed After Venoplasty in MS Patients. Uutisoinnissa todettiin tuolloin mm. "there were significant improvements in physical and mental ability. There clearly seems to be a trend. In the modified fatigue impact score, there also seems to be a clear improvement," (tutkimuksen johtohahmo M. Mehta).
