DRX9000 Spinal Decompression

[In a study of 50 patients, Dr. Noriaki Yamamoto and others reported that 76% of patients were satisfied with the treatment they received using the DRX9000. This study was not sponsored by Axiom Worldwide, the manufacturer of the DRX9000 spinal decompression system.]

Japanese study reports 76% of patients were satisfied after treatment on the DRX-9000!

Tampa, FL, April 30, 2009: A study titled, “The treatment of lumbar disc disease using DRX-9000” is published in the December issue of the Nigata University Journal of Health and Welfare. After treating fifty patients on the DRX-9000, Dr. Noriaki Yamamoto and others reported that 76% of patients were satisfied with the treatment. The patients received 30-minute sessions every week or 2 weeks, for 3 months and revealed a decrease in pain of 4.91 ± 0.93 to 2.69 ± 1.02 (p<0.01). Although the treatment program used by Dr. Yamamoto did not follow Axiom’s published protocol, positive results were still demonstrated. A previous study following Axiom’s protocol which was published in the December 2008 issue of the Journal of Medicine revealed a mean patient rating of 7.61 (0-10 scale) at the mid point of treatment and 8.1 after the final week of treatment.

Clinical Data Utilizing the DRX9000(TM) Will Be Presented at the CONy in Athens, Greece!
Friday October 10, 5:13 pm ET

TAMPA, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Clinical data utilizing the DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression System™ will be presented at the 2nd World Congress on Controversies in Neurology (CONy) in Athens, Greece October 23-26, 2008. The first study, is an IRB-approved, prospective multi-center phase II, non-randomized pilot study authored by Dr. John Leslie of the Mayo Clinic and others. This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the DRX9000 in treating chronic LBP [lower back pain]. A greater than 50% reduction in pain score was observed after two weeks of treatment and upon completion of the entire six week protocol an amazing success rate of 88.9% was documented. Improvement of Oswestry scores and a decreased consumption of adjunctive pain medication were also noted. The second study, is retrospective data which included lumbar spine CT scans before and after patients were treated on the DRX9000 that demonstrates possible morphological changes associated with treatment. The authors conclude, “A significant reduction in chronic LBP after non-invasive spinal decompression correlated with an increase in disc height.” One of the authors of the studies will be presenting the data at the 2nd World Congress CONy. Abstracts of both studies will be available. These presentations represent an effort to further educate the International Community on the effectiveness of our products.

Non-treatment or control groups were not included making efficacy outcome versus placebo or spontaneous recovery difficult to determine. Randomized double-blinded or comparative long-term outcome trials are needed to further prove the efficacy of non-surgical spinal decompression systems such as the DRX9000™ for the routine treatment of chronic LBP. This study was partially funded by Axiom Worldwide.

A randomized controlled trial is needed to prove that restoration in disc height is the mechanism through which non-surgical spinal decompression systems such as the DRX9000™ leads to these impressive reductions in pain.
