Dear Jesse Awenus,
I am looking for collaborator.
Back pain in the UK (and in the USA) is a great problem.
My device to treat herniated disc low back pain (LBP) is patented in the UK, method pending in the USA, a simple, safe and effective auto-decompression method that I, a medical doctor, developed for myself. It works in upright vertical position, has only one contra-indication, is cost-effective (as all other treatments are abandoned) and may help keep LBP patients capable to work. I am now assessing interest in the device (method) and would like to know whether you would be interested to take the project forward into medical practice.
As a medical doctor using this method to treat my low back pain I can claim that:
1. This method kept me, a young LBP patient, capable to work.
2. It was cost-effective as all the other treatments were abandoned.
3. It keeps me, now an old LBP patient, from becoming a back cripple (unfortunately there is no absolute cure for heavily herniated disc LBP).
4. The most important advantage of this method is that it is a self-help, self-manage method. I do not go to my GP or hospital, I use it at home any time suitable and my GP here does not even know that I have a back problem.
There are some other advantages of this method but they require further investigation:
1. Using this method by patients with simple backache might prevent subsequent disc injury that is highly possible in this group.
2. This method may be a helpful and cost-effective treatment for patients with neck pain.
3. This method may be a helpful and cost-effective treatment for patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
4. It may be reasonable to use this method for preventative measures by people in groups of risk: sedentary mode of life, drivers, porters, weight-lifters, oarsmen and some other sportsmen or parachute jumpers.
5. This method can be used for spine curvature correction.
6. Regular use of this method might prevent development of osteoporosis in the bones of spine, upper limbs and shoulder girdle (it is a positive side effect).
7. This method might prevent periodontal disorders by providing the gums massage (it is another positive effect of this method).
On the figure attached: 1 – frame, 2 – head back pillow (chin support is not visible on this figure), 3 – over-door chin-up bar (available in a sports shop). All details if you are interested and, if not interested, please forward this message to an appropriate person or company. My email address: ifedyaev@yahoo.co.uk
PS: This is absolutely new and effective method – it will decrease the number of hospital visits, it will reduce the cost of care, it will create jobs, it will increase export, it will be famous all over the world. And it can help soldiers.
I invite you to become the principal applicant to apply to a Grant Program in the UK (or USA, or Japan, or China, or any).
Additional information:
A. for a manufacturer:
A little 10x30x50cm frame made of plastics or composites (or metal, or any other) is used in this LBP management method. This frame should be light but bear a patient’s weight (up to 120kg) that is distributed between four branches of suspension from an over-door chin-up bar.
The device comprises four parts: the frame itself, chin support, head back pillow and chin support softener.
The head back pillow and chin support softener are cushions and should be made of soft but tough material (type of resin?).
Please let me know if you can design such device. I have technical drawings for a plastic model.
To exclude severe osteoporosis as the contra-indication against using this method, it is interesting to include a sensor showing the force the patients apply to their spine.
B. It so happened that:
1. I have been managing my own LBP for many years;
2. I developed my own method to manage my LBP;
3. This is a self-manage method;
4. This is a safe and simple auto-decompression method to be used at home;
5. The device of this method is patented in the UK;
6. Method is pending in the USA;
7. I am a retired Russian medical doctor;
8. I live in Brighton UK. Now I am a British citizen.
9. Some UK (and USA) Grant Programs may finance the project (see ‘’programme emails’’ attached); The only problem is to find the principal applicant. This applicant will be as well a partner in mutual business;
10. I cannot be the principal applicant as I am not affiliated to any institution here.
My L5-S1 disk herniated in 1972. It was a foolish weight-lifting competition which resulted in disc herniation and nerve root compression. With more than a year of awful LBP, I was on the edge of becoming an invalid but I developed this, my own, method and since then could live and work.
No, it did not cure. Now I can live without decompression for two or sometimes three (and even four!) weeks. By the end of this interval my body is curved again, LBP becomes severe again, and I have to use decompression again. I should say that LBP never stopped completely, but my decompression method allows me to live.
This method can be (and very often indeed is) considered to stand quite close to traction. Unfortunately (and strange incredibly) there is a strong negative opinion against traction on the whole here in the UK (see ‘NICE traction’ and ‘prof. Bull’ attached).
What I say is based on my (and only on my own) experience of a patient with a severe disc herniation. I understand that from scientific point of view my (the only one) case is not at all enough for generalization. But what can I do with the fact that this auto-decompression method has been helping me for years? For years! As far as it helps me, why could it not help others? What I say is: ‘’Let us examine it!’’.
To examine the method you need not manufacture the device, you can use mine. All you need is to recruit volunteers. They should be with a severe disc herniation and really suffering. From my own experience of that LBP I know – these patients are ready to volunteer in anything. If additionally you take me, you may see X-ray (or other) picture of my L5-S1 area. So, I might be a volunteer with long term LBP and it should be interesting for you to use your imaging techniques to record vertebrae movements during decompression procedure on me.
The drawback of this suggestion is the little number of patients investigated, but it is only the preliminary (pilot) study, enough for you to become the principal applicant for a Grant Programme randomised clinical trial (see ‘’programme emails’’ attached). It might be as well enough to create a company with a manufacturer, and to sell devices simultaneously with that clinical trial (or without it at all).
I hope you see there is no money I expect for me personally while the pilot study is being done (except travel ticket, not money but my name return ticket which you buy and send to me). What I expect is that my name is mentioned in your papers, I have copies of all investigations’ results and I am present in the next phase that is creating a mutual start-up company.
Kind regards
Ivan
