“…In the past, these effects were seldom documented in an objective manner, but recently several prospective randomized, double-blinded studies proved the pain-reducing efficacy of radon therapy in patients with cervical pain and degenerative alterations of the cervical spine, 8 with spondylosis or osteoarthritis in the cervical or lumbar vertebral column, 2 or with morbus Bechterew. 5 In the first and second studies, subjective pain perception was determined with the aid of a visual analog scale.…”

“…As a more objective method, however, the minimum pressure needed to cause pain at 16 typical myofascial pressure points was measured with a pressure-threshold meter. 2,8 In the third study, subjective pain perception was determined with the consumption of pain killers like nonsteroidal antirheumatics. 5 In the future, clarification in detail of the mechanisms of these phenomena will be helpful toward understanding the effects of radon therapy on the functions of the ␤endorphin and (B) ACTH of blood in patient with osteoarthritis after first radon and thermal therapy.…”

“…Dass Hinweise auf die Möglichkeit einer Radon-(Stollen-)Therapie nur von 3-11% der behandelnden Ärzte gegeben wurde, liegt entweder an der fehlenden Kenntnis dieser Therapie oder daran, dass die Ärzte von der Wirksamkeit nicht überzeugt sind, obgleich Erfahrungsberichte von Patienten und auch eine gewisse Datenlage [8,12,14,16,17] suggerieren, dass diese Therapieform durchaus effektiv sein kann.…”

In all, 1068 DVMB members and 205 non-members responded to the survey. Almost all of these indicated that they had received at least one piece of information regarding what they should be particularly aware of, at the time of diagnosis. A total of 69% were informed about the need for daily exercise, 51% about the value of individual physiotherapy, 38% about the value of group physiotherapy, 37% about the need to maintain an upright posture, and 33% were recommended 3 weeks in a rehabilitation centre. Less than 30% were informed about appropriate sports, appropriate working conditions, suitable chairs, mattress, pillows etc., about the value of radon therapy or about joining a disease-specific patient organisation. To the question regarding what patients meanwhile consider as most important, daily exercise (50%) and sufficient movement at work and leisure (55%) were reported most frequently. Other aspects regarded as important to patients included a flat, firm mattress (53%), avoiding large pillows (42%), keeping an upright posture at work (38%), appropriate sports (36%), and an upright posture also when not at work (34%). Of the DVMB members, 46% had participated in disease-specific standardised patient education, compared with only 31% of non-members (p<0.001).
