Polyneuropathy

From 1998 to 2009, the Klinik am Steigerwald treated approximately 850 patients with polyneuropathy with the aid of the methodology named here. These were predominately people with severe forms of the disease. During the course of their often long history of illness, they had learned that they could not be helped. Considering how severely impaired these patients were, the results of the treatment are astounding. Clearly more than 50% of them could be helped over the medium to long-term. For approximately 25% of them there was already obvious improvement the day they were released: the pain had subsided, the soles of their feet could once again feel the ground, they could enjoy a meadow again that had only caused them pain before and walking and standing had become easier. With the other patients, good therapy results appeared only after weeks or months of further out-patient treatment with Chinese medicine.

The results of treatment for restless legs and some forms of polyneuropathy caused by paraproteins are extremely good. The diabetic form of polyneuropathy caused by diabetes also responds very well to treatment. The positive trend was confirmed in the post-stationary treatment phase.

These good treatment results motivated the doctors at the clinic to undertake a "polyneuropathy therapy study". The purpose of this study is to objectivize the results of treatment and thus aid in distinguishing the efficacy of the therapy according to the subtypes of polyneuropathy. By this means, fundamentals for further development and refinement of therapy methods are to be established.
