Scenar and Bone Fractures

Study in 2007 at the Rostov-on-Don City Hospital No.20, Child Traumatology Department

One of the main negative effects on pediatric health is skeletal and locomotor trauma, with a constantly growing number of permanently handicapped children. Over 600,000 bone fractures are diagnosed in children every year in Russia.

The Child Traumatology department in Rostov-on-Don is based at City Hospital No.20,  and is one of one of the country’s largest, serving as the study base for the Child Surgery and Orthopedic Chair of the Rostov State Medical University. Staff combine medical duties with teaching, and new scientific developments are widely integrated.

Llimb fractures are generally treated through manual repositioning of fragments, followed by gypsum cast immobilization. If repositioning failes, operative treatment is used, plus medication, physiotherapy and physical therapy exercise.

Normal bone fracture regeneration involves formation of bone callus, and the healing process proceeds in stages. In the first 3-4 days, the primary blastome is formed - a preparation stage when materials for the regeneration are stockpiled. Between Day 3-4 and 12-15, the second stage begins - formation and differentiation of tissue structures, with scar or cartilage tissue regeneration. The third stage involves nvolves bone callus formation, and lasts until the first to second month. The fourth and final stage, when the secondary reconstruction and restoration of the original bone structure takes place, can continue for months.

There are also profund non-local changes in blood pressure, heartbeat, breathing, and in blood and urine composition.

The Study

Patients (32 children aged 4 to 17, 21 boys and 11 girls) were admitted to the hospital in the acute period (1 to 3 hours following injury) with local pain, swelling and limb deformation. All underwent X-ray, general blood and urine analysis.

The children were randomly distributed into two groups: the first group (13 patients - 9 boys, 4 girls) received SCENAR treatment. The second, control group (19 patients - 12 boys, 7 girls) had traditional treatment.

Scenar therapy was given daily with a Scenar 97.5 device, in constant and individual measured modes. Treatment consisted of 5-8 sessions lasting 20-40 minutes each. Both general zones (”three pathways and six points”) and reciprocal areas on the symmetric limb were treated. the only medications administered were analgesics (during the first two days).

Results

In five of the patients, the first SCENAR treatment on the first day had already greatly relieved the pain.

In seven more patients, the first session showed improved microcirculation and reduced swelling.

By the third to fourth treatment, none of the patients complained of pain.

By the end of treatment, none of the patients showed neuro-circulatory
disorders, and all were in satisfactory condition.

At the same time, in the control group the pain subsided only by the second to third day of treatment, and a visible decrease in swelling took as much as four to five days.

Irrespective of the complexity of their fractures, all patients responded well to Scenar therapy, and there was not a single case of it worsening the condition.

Depending on the type of fracture, X-rays were made one, two, three or four weeks later, and all were monitored after leaving hospital at the city traumatology centre.

The average time for the appearance of primary bone callus in SCENAR-treated children was 25.6 ± 2.4 days, while in the control group this took 33.5 ± 2.5 days. Some individual cases showed more dramatically faster reduction in swelling and formation of bone callus.

Conclusions

Scenar allowed a decrease of fracture consolidation time in children by 7.3 ± 3.1 days, stimulating bone tissue repair, without side effects and complications. This allowed application of gypsum casts for a shorter period of time and an earlier commencement of regenerative treatment.

Don Elwick - Managing Director, Brighton Media Centre (Cracked Ribs)

"December 21st, 2009, I went out running, slipped on some ice, and fell heavily on my back. A nurse and a doctor both confirmed I had two or three cracked ribs. I spent the next week hardly sleeping due to the pain. December 29th, I saw Paul Lowe for a Scenar treatment, and that night I slept properly again. Over the next few days, almost all the pain had gone, and the ribs were back to normal. I had Scenar again and on January 4th, the doctor found it hard to believe there was nothing left from the accident - broken ribs normally take at least 6 weeks to heal."

Venus Villa, First Artist, The English National Ballet, London (Leg injury)

"I had a very painful injury to my leg (compartment syndrome), and I tried several therapies. Scenar was the best for really deep healing, even when I was dancing for seven hours a day. Thank you Paul."

Marco Crivello, Artist, Lewes, Sussex (Shoulder + Back Pain)

"I had acute pain in my right shoulder. I tried osteopathy and cranio-sacral over several weeks, but with negligible results. Paul treated me with Scenar daily for four days, and by the end I was pain-free. On another occasion, I was in acute pain months after Achilles tendon surgery -- after one treatment from Paul, the pain went away. I also threw my back out twice. Each time, one Scenar treatment was enough to put it back to normal."

Stephane Davies-Arai, Sculptor, Lewes, Sussex (Sciatica)

"I was rushed to hospital on three occasions and given four strong painkillers including morphine. I finally collapsed at work in agony, unable to walk. After 10 treatments with Paul, I was able to stop the painkillers and drive 80 miles to a work event. Six months on, I'm still pain free."

Tim Cornwall - Private Hire Driver, Herstmonceaux, Sussex (Slipped Disc)

"I've had hip and lower back problems for over 30 years. This episode was the worst I've had for two years: I could hardly walk or drive and I had to give work away. Until now, I'd go to the chiropractor for several treatments and take at least three weeks to recover. With Paul it took four days and four Scenar treatments to get back to normal. On day 1, I could barely walk. On day 3, I took the dog for a one-hour walk."

John Hayward - Landscaper, Westham, Sussex (Neck + Shoulder Pain, Arm/hand nerve damage)

"The pain had reached levels that stopped my physical workload. The diagnosis was nerve compression due to an injury to the C5/6/7 vertebrae. I now faced the prospect of surgery to install metal inserts... After four Scenar treatments, I was able to stop the painkillers... After three months and 10 treatments, I can also report... ability to sleep on my side again, write and sign my signature fluently again, turn my head fully to the right and left... Six months later, I'm doing heavy physical work again as part of my job, and despite needing occasional top-ups, I'm basically pain-free. Altogether, a phenomenal success."
