| description | Summary: Objectives: Show the results in pain and functionality, using low-dose radiotherapy in osteoarticular degenerative disorders (OADD). Review of the evidence. Material and methods: Patients suffering from OADD with no response to other treatments, receive 6Gy in 6 fractions of 1 Gy, each other day, repeating the scheme if necessary. Evaluation of pain based on Visual Analogic Scale, analgesia intake and VonPannewitz score. Results: Results observed in our series of patients treated with low doses of radiotherapy are similar to those previously published and reinforce the consideration of radiotherapy as an useful option for degenerative musculoskeletal disorders. Conclusion: Low dose radiotherapy seems to be a good alternative for aged patients suffering from OADD. |
