Clinically proven to treat cervical disc injuries. A possible alternative to cervical disc surgery. Capable of safely cycling up to 40 pounds. US PATENT NO. 5,957,876, others pending, registered Trademark of PT Products, LLC. 1-877-4TRACTION or email info@cycletrac.com for info. CycleTrac multiple patient case study results. Patient A (Diagnosis -cervical radiculopathy) is a 38-year-old female with diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy effecting the left upper extremity in C5 nerve root pattern. She has had the condition for four months at the level of 7/10, but for 3-4 years has had neck aches related to job stress. No diagnostic tests have been performed. The patient complains she is working full time as a nurse in an orthopedic surgeon's office and does not have time to attend PT. She can elicit left UE pain with backward bending of the neck and left sidebending. She is unable to sleep at night more than an hour before pain wakes her up. She is constantly trying to find a comfortable position for her neck. She takes anti-inflammatory and over the counter pain medication as needed and not as prescribed. She describes herself as a person who has difficulty relaxing and does not exercise. Patient A after the 30 days CycleTrac cervical traction study is completely pain free in the neck and left upper extremity (UE) and has full active range-of-motion (ROM). It has been two months since the completion of the study and she still is symptom free.   Patient B (Diagnosis - cervical spondylosis) is a 43 year old female with the diagnosis of cervical spondylosis confirmed by X-rays and a MRI. She has a 10-year history of neck pain. After sinus surgery she experienced an exacerbation of neck pain and sought medical attention. Her major complaints were pain in the neck, restriction of motion in the spine and difficulty sleeping. Medications include Motrin and Voltarin, which are ingested as prescribed. After completing the study the patient had gained ROM overall in the cervical spine in all directions and had a reduction in pain to 0-2/10 on the pain scale during CycleTrac cervical traction treatment. She was able to sleep through the night pain free. However, within one month's time after completing the study the patient felt as if she was dealing with the same pain patterns, which she now states is related to activity. Her sleep patterns remain unaffected. She would like to continue to have home cervical traction available to use as she felt needed.   Patient C (Diagnosis - degenerative joint disease) is a 48 year old female with the diagnosis of degenerative joint disease in the cervical spine. She experiences right upper extremity symptoms of pain and weakness. She has been experiencing the symptoms for 4 months before seeking medical advice. She responded well to physical therapy in conjunction with CycleTrac cervical home traction. She gained full cervical ROM and complete functional use of the right UE and full strength. After 6 months of completing the study she remains symptom free.   Patient D (Diagnosis - herniated nucleus pulpous, HNP) is a 37-year-old male who is a dentist by profession and complains that he is unable to operate his dental instruments due to numbness and weakness in the right UE. His MRI reveals a herniated nucleus pulpous (HNP) leading to effacement of the C7 nerve root sleeve and spinal canal stenosis at C5-6. He attends physical therapy and has a reduction of symptoms but complains that PT entails too much time for him to attend 3x a week. Initially he is medicated with an anti-inflammatory, pain medication and a muscle relaxant. Prior to CycleTrac traction therapy he had cervical disc surgery scheduled. He stops taking his medications after two full CycleTrac treatment phases (20 days) and canceled his surgery. He finishes the last ten days of the study without medication. His examination at the end of the study reveals full cervical motion but weakness remaining in the right upper extremity. He was taught a home therapeutic exercise program to re-strengthen his right arm. Eight months post study the patient is symptom free and working at full capacity without restriction.   Patient E (Diagnosis - multiple levels of cervical disc bulging and herniation at C5-C6) is a 45 year old male with a ten year history of neck pain but a recent exacerbation involving pain in his right UE for the first time. He was put on short-term disability from a desk job due to his high pain levels and inability to hold his head upright against gravity. A MRI confirmed multiple levels of cervical disc bulging and herniation at C5-C6. He attended physical therapy, which included cervical traction, and his pain and UE symptoms reduced 50%. He began to participated in the CycleTrac research project midway through his physical therapy treatment regime. After 30 days of participation in the CycleTrac research project (in conjunction with physical therapy) the patient returned to a pain free status and regained full use of his right UE. One-year post research study the patient experiences mild neck aches on days of "high" stress and strain but is able to manage the symptoms with therapeutic exercises as taught by his physical therapist.
