ABSTRACT
We followed up a group of 43 patients suffering from cervical vertebropathy. Dynamic scintigraphy revealed a significant prolongation of oesophageal transit time of 10 ml of labelled liquid (mean transit time, MTT) in comparison with a control group. Patients treated with acupuncture showed a significant reduction in MTT in comparison with patients receiving a placebo needle application. The group of patients treated with manipulative techniques showed in addition to symptom alleviation a significant reduction in MTT. Dynamic scintigraphy facilitates verification of oesophageal dysmotility in patients suffering from vertebropathy and enables the success of therapy to be readily monitored.
