Karipazim for spinal hernia: effect, statistics, research, application

Currently, in the territory of the republics of the former USSR, there are many different conservative methods of combating herniated intervertebral discs. With the help of pharmaceutical influences, the use of various waves, and the use of chondroprotectors, they are trying to eliminate the morphological defect of the intervertebral disc. In other words, using a “pill” to remove a pathological anatomical formation of a mechanical nature. And one of these widely advertised methods is the drug Karipazim for a herniated spine, or, more correctly, for herniated intervertebral discs. What kind of remedy is this? How does it work, and how effective is its use?

Device structure

The electrophoresis apparatus is an alternating current rectifier, semiconductor (now), electron tube (formerly). It operates from a standard network with a frequency of 50 Hz and a voltage of 220 V and is equipped with a milliammeter.

Electrophoresis devices operate primarily using galvanic current. It is continuous, low voltage, constant intensity. Always passing in one direction, the current is able to maintain polarity, strength, and voltage. The action is comparable to a blow of wind that does not change its strength. Thanks to this, the electrophoresis device is able to “deliver” drugs deep into the body, affecting the tissues and mucous membranes of the body. For direct current, even dense tissues can be considered permeable.

Treatment of intervertebral hernia with Karipazim

When the prepared solution is applied to the hernia area, the product begins to have a necrolytic effect without involving healthy tissue structures in the reaction process. In areas where the connective tissue is already necrotic, a proteolytic effect appears. Its essence lies in the destruction of dead cellular structures, primarily those located in the nucleus pulposus. After all this they are quickly rejected.

Next, the process of scarring of the damaged elements of the intervertebral disc occurs. Lysozyme and papain help to quickly reduce the severity of the inflammatory process. In addition, lysozyme improves blood circulation and helps improve nutrition of the spinal structures.

Treatment with Karipazim can replace surgery

Mechanism of action of electrophoresis

Electrophoresis introduces drugs percutaneously directly into the pathological focus. The device promotes the breakdown of substances into smaller particles - ions. They move towards the electrophoresis electrodes from opposite poles. When approaching them, the ions undergo electrolysis. They change from ions to atoms due to the loss of their charge.

If a drug is placed on one of the electrodes, it begins to move into the tissue. There it accumulates in depth in the form of a depot and is slowly consumed (up to 2 weeks). Knowing the specific density and resistance of body tissues, the physicochemical properties of the drug, and the parameters of the electric current, it is possible to accurately determine the concentration of the drug at a given depth.

There are two types of ions: anions (-), cations (+). Water breaks down into H (+) and OH (-). Near the electrodes, ions interact with water and form acid and alkali. Therefore, burns are likely at the site where the cathode and anode are attached, and during electrophoresis, pads moistened with water are always used to dilute these solutions.

A change in ion concentration causes the body's cells to become excited. Metabolic processes and the ability to respond to external influences are accelerated. Ultimately, this accelerates intracellular recovery and removes metabolic products faster.

Electrophoresis with Karipazim: contraindications

Like any other therapeutic method, electrophoresis with Karipazim has its contraindications. It should be noted that treatment with Karipazim is performed only through the conduction of electric current. The drug is not used for intramuscular or intravenous administration.

Contraindications to the use of electrophoresis with Karipazim include:

• intolerance to the components of Karipazim;
• skin lesions, open wounds, purulent foci;
• severe cardiovascular diseases;
• presence of a pacemaker;
• severe liver and kidney diseases;
• fever;
• intolerance to procedures using electric current.

Will electrophoresis help get rid of a hernia?

Galvanization is prescribed for hernias as an auxiliary or primary method of treatment. It is not able to get rid of advanced forms of the disease. Its main action is aimed at stimulating the natural regenerative abilities of tissues and relieving pain in the initial stages of the disease.

The use of electrophoresis for hernia leads to:

• changes in the permeability of cell membranes - cells become more sensitive, regenerative capacity increases;
• dilation of blood vessels, which promotes blood flow and the supply of more essential nutrients;
• increased lymphatic drainage - decomposition products are removed more quickly;
• the occurrence of local and general reflex reactions.

Thanks to this, the affected tissues are restored faster, the foci of inflammation are reduced, and the pain syndrome is weakened.

After treatment, most patients experience a decrease in the volume of the hernia by 50% or more, its structure becomes more homogeneous and less dense. In the case of small hernias, in some patients their complete disappearance was recorded.

a brief description of

Karipazim is a white lyophilisate intended for the preparation of a solution that is applied to the affected area. In addition, it is produced in the form of a gel, and some sources also provide information that there is an ointment. The product helps dead tissue break down faster, dilutes blood clots and accumulated fluid.

The main effects of the drug include:

• the hernial sac becomes elastic;
• softening of the cartilage tissue occurs;
• releasing pinched nerves;
• elimination of pain syndrome;
• regeneration of tissue structures occurs;
• spinal discs strengthen and become stronger.

Advantages of using electrophoresis

The main advantage is the rapid achievement of a positive effect due to local effects. Medicines are administered specifically to the desired site. This compares favorably with this method of treatment even from injections. Electrophoresis allows it to be used even by patients with diseases of the liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract (there is no load on these organs). It can be used by people with blood flow disorders. In this case, standard tablets and injections will be ineffective. And the action of galvanic current bypasses the circulatory system.

Already after the first session of electrophoresis, the pain syndrome associated with a hernia decreases

Electrophoresis is effective due to the long-lasting current. Therefore, it is carried out in a course, with pre-calculated sessions. During the intervals between them, the therapeutic effect is maintained.

Electrophoresis has no side effects. The process is non-invasive, so there is no discomfort or recovery period. The action of current through tissue does not cause allergic reactions, eliminating the possibility of overdose.

Patent examination

The authors of the patent application stated that:

• electrophoresis with Karipazim increases the effectiveness of treatment. Accordingly, the procedure is not the main method of treatment, as follows from the document;
• this invention (methodology) is used for the treatment of pathology in which the scar-adhesive process is active (when a hernia is formed, cartilage is destroyed, that is, a process of a completely different kind);
• accordingly, we are talking about soft tissues, for example, the ligaments of the spine, the membranes of the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerves or roots. In this case, keloid or cicatricial adhesive tissue actually contains a large amount of protein, since the inflammatory exudate, consisting of proteins, is gradually organized and a scar is formed. There was no mention of cartilage tissue in the application;
• the authors of the application studied options for using electrophoresis for radiculitis, pain syndromes of osteochondrosis, neuritis of the facial nerve, cerebral arachnoiditis and other pathologies;
• The authors found that: (quote with spelling and style preserved) “when conducting a course of less than 20 procedures, due to the slow action of Karipazim’s proteolytic enzymes, it is ineffective; more than 30 procedures can cause allergic reactions.”

Accordingly, the therapeutic scope of this method is quite narrow. The authors of the patent application thereby indirectly confirm that if a patient undergoes 19 sessions, it will be in vain, and if the number of procedures exceeds 30, then they can be harmful.

Allergic reactions mean such side effects as the presence of skin itching at the site of attachment of the positive electrode, increased body temperature, and burning. In this case, it is recommended to stop further sessions and treat the electrode location with hydrocortisone ointment.

Translating this into the language of pharmacoeconomics, taking into account the average cost of packaging, we can calculate that:

• if a patient spends less than 2876 rubles on treatment, then the money will be wasted, and if he pays more than 4300 rubles for treatment, then he may experience complications in the form of allergic reactions. If you take three courses, then the optimum is from 8,600 to 12,900 rubles.

Next, the authors of the patent application give five examples of the use of this technique, in which “as if by chance” facts of strange behavior of disks are given:

• in the first case, the patient’s neurological symptoms disappeared, the height of the L3 - S1 discs increased, the size of the L5 S1 hernia decreased, from 8 to 4 mm;
• in the second patient with cervical osteochondrosis, the C6-C7 disc herniation decreased from 6 mm to 4 mm.

In the future, the authors of the patent do not comment or explain these two facts, which, of course, cannot in any way serve as evidence of the effect of the drug on the hernia. Even if we remove all other arguments and arguments (lack of targeted studies, recruitment of a control group, MRI - high-resolution tomograph, etc.), then any substance cannot simultaneously increase the height of the intervertebral discs, that is, work “plus”, and at the same time reduce the size of its parts, that is, the hernia, working “in minus”. Simultaneously, the opposite effect on the same structure with the same substance is logically impossible, under the same conditions of existence of the hernia and the disc.

Based on logic and common sense, what effect will there be if you perform electrophoresis with Karipazim on the area of ​​a healthy intervertebral disc? It turns out that it will also decrease? Or, if a healthy disc increases in size, why then does the part that makes up the herniation not increase?

Indications for procedures

Electrophoresis is prescribed to all patients diagnosed with a hernia who experience severe pain - an inevitable companion to this disease. Other indications depend on the type of protrusion.

Each type of intervertebral hernia has serious complications, so you should not delay treatment.

Indications for electrophoresis for lumbar hernia

For a lumbar hernia, electrophoresis is prescribed if the following symptoms are present:

• tingling sensation, numbness of the lower extremities;
• problems with urination;
• the feeling that “your legs won’t obey you.”

Read about other symptoms in the article “Intervertebral hernia of the lumbar spine.”

Manufacturers

Above are instructions for Karipazim, which is produced in Moscow, more precisely, in the Moscow region: Serpukhov district, Obolensk village, Industrial site, building number 9. There is also a Georgian Karipazim. For obvious reasons related to the deterioration of international relations between the Russian Federation and Georgia, since March 2007, the Georgian-made drug has ceased to be supplied to Russia.

There is unverified information that since April 2021, Georgian-made Karipazim, from the Kutateladze Institute of Pharmacochemistry, has again been supplied to Russia. This is an official drug, cleared by customs, with the required registration certificate.

But in 2021, in various pharmacy chains you can buy Karipazim produced by the pharmaceutical company, which is none other than Medflorina LLC, which produces this drug in the Serpukhov region, the owner of the registration certificate. In 2021, lyophilisate for external use with a dosage of 350 PE can be purchased at an average price of 113 rubles per bottle, and for a package of 10 bottles you need to pay 1,438 rubles. This is a rather unusual situation when a small wholesale costs more than the retail price for one bottle. Karipazim ampoules are not produced, and the product is not sold in solution.

There are also local preparations with papain (ointment, gel), but they will be discussed in other articles.

How an electrophoresis session is performed in the clinic

Electrophoresis sessions are carried out in a special physiotherapy room.

What devices are used

The most popular device for carrying out the procedure is Potok-1. It has long proven itself in the market and does not lose its effectiveness and demand. This is what is used in most clinics.

But there are a large number of modern devices:

• Elfor;
• Nevoton;
• Mustang-Physio-GalvaFor et al.

Electrophoresis devices

The differences between them are minimal. All are easy to use, they have a compact shape and are affordable. The operation of any device is based on galvanic current, which flows continuously, with constant intensity, in one direction. But sometimes Trabert current is used. It has higher frequency, amplitude modulated currents that do not move in a straight line. They can pass sinusoidally, pulsate or change randomly.

Devices can also be equipped with:

• sinusoidal modulated currents;
• pulsed diadynamic currents (DDT);
• fluctuating current.

What types of intervertebral hernias are most difficult to treat?

4 stages of treatment for intervertebral hernia

Procedure

Before the procedure, the specialist prepares the apparatus and solution. You need to adjust the required current strength, which is selected by the attending physician. Electrodes are then attached to the patient with wipes moistened with a special liquid consisting of prescribed medications and water.

Gaskets are installed based on the location of pathological foci. They need to be attached as close to their center as possible. Due to this, the maximum positive effect is obtained.

Electrode location:

• For a cervical hernia,
  the first electrode (+) is attached to the neck, the other (-) to the lumbar area.
• In case of pathology of the thoracic discs
  - (+) is attached to the thoracic spine, (-) to the lower back.
• For a lumbar hernia
  , the method of split electrodes is used: (+) attached to the lower back, split (two electrodes) (-) attached to the legs - in the back of the thighs or calves.

Then turn on the device and slowly increase the current based on the recommendations. This eliminates discomfort for the patient. During the first session, the electrodes are left on for only 10-15 minutes in order to observe the patient’s condition and completely eliminate negative consequences.

What should the current be?

The current strength for all types of hernias is on average the same. The device is set at 6 milliamps and gradually increased to 15. But these values ​​may vary depending on the characteristics of the human body and the stage of the disease.

Session duration

The duration of the session for cervical hernias is from 5 to 15 minutes. When treating the thoracic and lumbar areas, the procedure will take an average of 20 minutes.

What should be the duration of the course?

The course for cervical hernias is 15 sessions, for pathologies of the thoracic and lumbar spine - 20. These are average numbers, the exact number is determined by a specialist, based on the needs and characteristics of the body. Procedures can be done daily or every other day. The main thing is to complete the entire course in order to achieve a positive effect.

How does the patient feel?

During the procedure, the patient may experience a slight tingling or warmth under the electrodes. Under no circumstances should there be pain or burning sensation. If they occur, the procedure is completed immediately.

The electrophoresis procedure is painless

Cost of electrophoresis

The cost of electrophoresis treatment consists of the cost of medications and the procedure. The average price of medicines is 70 rubles, and procedures – from 500 rubles.

Disappointing results

So, summarizing all of the above, we can draw the following conclusions:

1. Indeed, there is a drug called Karipazim, a patent application and patent registration, but this drug and the corresponding electrophoresis technique are separated by instructions. Karipazim is used in complex treatment and helps dissolve protein compounds, keloid scars and adhesions, but is not and cannot be used for the destruction and reduction of intervertebral hernias;
2. The patent for the invention itself is called very vaguely, namely: “a method for treating neurological and orthopedic-traumatological pathologies.” Nothing is said here about herniated intervertebral discs and the method of their radical treatment;
3. According to their physicochemical properties, proteolytic enzymes, including papain, dissolve proteins, which is described in the patent application. But glycosaminoglycans, the basis of cartilage tissue, do not consist of amino acid residues, but are polysaccharides in structure. Therefore, proteolytic enzymes are powerless to change the structure of mucopolysaccharides that make up cartilage. From this simple biochemical fact follows the complete inconsistency of using Karipazim for the treatment of intervertebral hernias;
4. the technique itself is not the use of Karipazim in its pure form, since from the opposite side Eufillin enters the body, as well as, albeit in small quantities, Dimexide. No tables, mathematical calculations of concentration, or other quantitative evidence of the choice of these particular drugs were provided in the patent application. Everything was on an empirical level;
5. The official instructions for the drug do not have such indications as use in neurology and orthopedics, since it is registered only
   as a means of cleansing wounds from burns. It can be used in any other way only at your own peril and risk, up to the criminal liability of the doctor in case of harm to the patient’s health; in fact, the use of Karipazim for all purposes other than burns is a contraindication, and a gross violation of the instructions, from the point of view of the letter of the law. Therefore, expanding the indications by filing a patent (and registering it) should have automatically entailed conducting evidence-based studies and re-registration of Karipazim with new, expanded indications. This did not happen, and the existing illegal treatment of disc herniations with Karipazim is a potential threat of lawsuits against private healthcare facilities;
6. Data on Karipazim as a drug for the treatment of intervertebral hernias are unknown in countries with developed medicine. This drug is not used for electrophoresis or for any other manipulations either in the USA or in Western Europe. The world community, for example, knows that clinics in the Czech Republic treat patients with herniated intervertebral discs at the world level, but that Karipazim is used in leading clinics in Israel is a fiction;
7. Karipazim is used only by doctors and patients living in the countries of the former USSR. There are no studies in reputable foreign journals, no recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), no mentions in Cochrane reviews or other authoritative sources about this drug;
8. a treatment method that involves long periods of time (90 sessions at intervals of months, up to 9 months) has a very high probability that there will be an independent and spontaneous reduction in pain and an increase in the range of motion in the back, especially in the case of joint use of other methods treatment;
9. From a histochemical point of view, it is unclear why Karipazim exerts its healing effect only far in the depths, between the vertebrae, on cartilage tissue, which does not consist of protein. Why doesn’t it have any effect on other healthy tissues that contain a large amount of protein and lie superficially? These are skin, subcutaneous tissue, ligaments and muscles. If Karipazim dissolves proteins so well, then it should react with the surface of the skin, causing proteolysis of its proteins, and “fizzle out” long before penetrating into the vertebrae.

In conclusion of this short article, we can say that the use of electrophoresis sessions with Karipazim for the treatment of intervertebral hernia is always carried out in private centers, and it is never provided in public clinics under the compulsory health insurance policy. This means that this type of effect on the patient’s body will be beneficial for pharmaceutical companies only if it is actively promoted by a doctor.

Of course, no one has canceled or is canceling the effect of placebo, and the more expensive the price for the drug, the more sophisticated the unusual method of its administration, the more self-hypnosis the patient experiences. The change in mental perception of pain can be very significant, up to the complete disappearance of pain and psychogenic anesthesia. We all remember very well how Anatoly Kashpirovsky, putting the patient into a trance, maintained full contact with her, including speech, while she was undergoing breast surgery without anesthesia, and this was broadcast on television.

Therefore, proven methods should really be considered the main ones in the treatment of hernias. In the case of conservative treatment, this includes traction, therapeutic exercises, diet, normalization of body weight, swimming, and therapeutic blockades. If conservative treatment is ineffective, these are operations, the best of which is complete removal of the hernia with disc replacement. Modern polymer materials make it possible to completely restore volume and freedom of movement, and the service life of the artificial disc is estimated at many tens of years.

Carrying out at home

Before starting self-medication, it is imperative to consult a doctor. He will prescribe a course of treatment and the necessary medications. The wrong dosage or medication may cause more harm than good. Also, if you are not sure that you will do everything correctly during the first procedure, it is better to have a medical professional nearby and show everything.

For galvanization, many doctors advise purchasing the Potok-1 or Elfor device. They have simple controls, different modes with different current strengths. The price of the device varies from 5,000 to 12,000 rubles. You will also need pads made of gauze or fabric.

Scheme:

1. Prepare a working solution. Attention, you can only use freshly prepared mixture.
2. The electrodes are fixed exclusively on napkins moistened with a solution, otherwise a chemical burn is possible.
3. Remove clothing from the required area of ​​the body to apply electrodes.
4. Secure the electrodes and place bags of salt, sand, etc. on top of them for a tighter fit.
5. At the end of the procedure, gradually reduce the current supply, turn off the device and only then remove the electrodes.
6. Stay calm for 10-15 minutes.

If all prescribed doctor's recommendations are followed, electrophoresis performed at home is in no way inferior in effectiveness. However, it is still worth visiting a doctor in the middle and at the end of the course so that he can determine how much the treatment has helped and whether it is worth adjusting. If pain occurs, the procedure should be stopped immediately and consult a specialist.

What medications are used for electrophoresis for hernia

Karipazim

Carazipam for electrophoresis

It is a solution for external use, which contains papain, a natural plant substance. The main effect of the drug is the breakdown of necrotic elements and the dilution of blood clots, viscous secretions and other protein compounds. Electrophoresis has a beneficial effect on cartilage tissue, stimulating its regeneration, and enhances the restoration of intervertebral disc tissue.

For external use only. Side effects include allergic reactions. Contraindications: pregnancy, breastfeeding and hypersensitivity to the main component. Does not have a systemic effect on the body.

No cases of drug overdose have been identified. There are no important clinically significant interactions with other drugs. Produced in Georgia and Russia. The price for one ampoule, on average, is from 60 rubles.

The course of treatment must be at least 14 procedures.

Karipain Plus

Karipain Plus for electrophoresis

The drug contains papain, bromelain (an enzyme isolated from pineapple pulp), lysozyme (an antibacterial agent), collagenase (an enzyme that breaks down collagen) and excipients (sodium chloride and lactose monohydrate). It relieves local inflammatory processes and reduces joint pain. Stimulates microcirculatory processes and restores skin elasticity. With the help of galvanization, it penetrates deep into the tissue, stimulates natural reconstructive processes, and softens the hernia. This helps relieve inflammation and reduce pain.

Among the contraindications:

• pregnancy period;
• acute inflammatory processes;
• tissue necrosis;
• disintegration of the intervertebral disc;
• allergic reactions.

No cases of overdose have been identified. There are no important clinically significant interactions with other drugs. Produced in Georgia and Russia. The price for one ampoule, on average, is from 210 rubles.

The number of sessions is individual, on average 10-20 sessions.

Novocaine

Novocaine for electrophoresis

The main active ingredient of the drug is procaine hydrochloride 5 mg or 20 mg. Auxiliary ingredients: sodium chloride, water for injection. The drug is available in the form of an injection solution. Has a local anesthetic effect. Therefore, it is prescribed mainly to patients with pronounced pain syndrome due to a hernia.

Contraindications include hypersensitivity to the main active ingredient, progressive cardiovascular disorders, and pregnancy.

Side effects include:

• headache;
• drowsiness, weakness;
• blood pressure surges;
• tachycardia;
• nervous excitement.

Novocaine enhances the effect of sedatives, anesthetics and muscle relaxants. Therefore, it must be used for electrophoresis strictly as prescribed by the attending physician.

They mainly use a drug of Russian origin. The price for 10 ampoules of 0.5% 10 ml starts from 50 rubles. The duration of the course and dosage are regulated by the doctor.

Eufillin

Eufillin for electrophoresis

The active ingredient of the drug is aminophylline. The effect of the drug leads to a decrease in muscle contractile activity. Eufillin is mainly used in pulmonology. In the treatment of hernias, it is used to dilate blood vessels, which improves blood flow in the lesion and stimulates venous outflow. Due to this, pain is reduced and swelling in the area of ​​inflammation is resolved. Thanks to galvanization, the drug has a targeted effect without having a systemic effect.

Local application reduces the occurrence of side effects. A slight drop in blood pressure, dizziness, and tachycardia may occur. Contraindications: allergic reactions, convulsions, severe liver or kidney failure.

Eufillin increases the effect of glucocorticoids, drugs that excite the central nervous system. Reduces the activity of lithium salts. The country of manufacture of the drug is Russia. A box of 10 ampoules will cost 40-60 rubles.

Trypsin

Trypsion for electrophoresis

Trypsin is an enzyme of the hydrolase class that breaks down peptides and proteins. Therefore, its pharmacological effect is regenerative and anti-inflammatory. The main function is the disposal of half-life products.

Contraindications: tumor processes, pregnancy, allergic reactions. Side effects include: tachycardia, allergies.

There are no important clinically significant interactions with other drugs. Trypsin is produced in Russia. The price for trypsin 10 ampoules of 10 mg each starts at an average of 500 rubles.

Composition, release form and official indications

According to the official instructions, the drug is available in bottles in two different dosages: 350 PE and 700 PE. This corresponds to a twofold difference in enzyme concentration. One of them is more concentrated, the second is weaker. But currently, in the retail network you can only buy a dosage of 350 PE in pharmacies. According to the instructions, the product is used externally only. Karipazim is indicated only for deep burns (IIIa), in order to lyse dead or necrotic tissue. As a result, the burn wound is cleaned and granulation, or healing, occurs more successfully.

According to the instructions, the contents of the bottle must be dissolved in an isotonic solution (0.9% NaCl) or in a solution of novocaine (0.5%), in an amount of 10 ml. The result is solutions containing 35 or 70 PE per milliliter. They impregnate napkins that are applied to the burn surface. Wipes are changed daily, and before replacement, surgical treatment of the wound is performed. The drug facilitates the removal of necrotic tissue. There are no other indications, as well as other methods of use, in the official instructions.

FAQ

Can electrophoresis be used for children?

Galvanization is often used in pediatrics. There is no need to be afraid of this procedure. It does no harm, is non-invasive, absolutely painless. But only a doctor should select the necessary medications, frequency and amplitude of the current.

Is it possible to combine electrophoresis with other procedures - acupuncture, massage, paraffin baths?

Electrophoresis is compatible with many other procedures, such as acupuncture, various therapeutic and cosmetic massages, and paraffin baths. But a complex treatment regimen is developed by a doctor, since between some manipulations it is necessary to take a break from several hours to several days.

Reviews

Before taking a new drug, the patient is tormented by doubts, and he does not know what to do in this situation, whether to use this drug or choose an alternative. For this purpose, there are reviews on the basis of which a person can make a final decision.

Serafima: Karipazim helped me avoid surgery, which I was very afraid of. I was pleased with the effect of this medicine.

Ivan: Despite the fact that the first improvements are observed at the end of the second course, I do not agree, since after the first my well-being improved. The hernia itself also decreased in size.

Anton: I had high hopes for Karipazim, but, unfortunately, he did not live up to my hopes. Having spent a large amount of money and time, no changes occurred.

The use of Karipazim allows one to avoid surgery, which makes patients very happy. Its natural composition minimizes the development of side effects, which is very important for many patients. You should not neglect your health, and at the first deviations you should visit a doctor.
