LATEST DRX9000 STUDY SHOWS 88.9% SUCCESS RATE
DATA FROM A RECENT MULTI-CENTER PILOT STUDY UTILIZING AXIOM WORLDWIDE’S
DRX9000™ REVEALS A DRAMATIC SUCCESS RATE OF 88.9%!
Clinical results to be presented at the 2007 annual conference of the American
Academy of Pain Management.
Tampa, FL September 5, 2007:
The clinical results of an IRB-approved prospective,
multi-center, phase II, non-randomized pilot study utilizing the DRX9000™ will be
presented at the 18th Annual Clinical Meeting of the American Academy of Pain
Management in Las Vegas, NV September 27- 30, 2007. The study, authored by Dr.
John Leslie of The Mayo Clinic, was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and
safety of the DRX9000 in the treatment of chronic lower back pain. Patients enrolled
in the study had suffered an overall average of ten years of chronic back pain. After
two weeks of treatments on the DRX9000 there was a 50% reduction in pain scores
and upon completion of the entire six week protocol an amazing success rate of
88.9% was documented. The patients also reported an improvement in their Oswestry
Disability score. Abstracts and copies of the presentation will be made available
following the release of the study data at the American Academy of Pain
Management.
Non-treatment or control groups were not included making efficacy outcome versus
placebo or spontaneous recovery difficult to determine. Randomized double-blinded
or comparative long-term outcome trials are needed to further prove the efficacy of
non-surgical spinal decompression systems such as the DRX9000Ô for the routine
treatment of chronic LBP. This study was partially funded by Axiom Worldwide.

PATIENT RESEARCH DATA ON AXIOM WORLDWIDE’S DRX9000™ PRESENTED AT CONFERENCE OF INDIAN ASSOCIATION OF PHYSIOTHERAPISTS
Paper in which data is presented wins award.
Tampa, FL May 10, 2007: Research data on Axiom Worldwide’s DRX9000™ was presented at the 45th Annual Conference of The Indian Association of Physiotherapists. The Indian Association of Physiotherapists is a member of the World Confederation of Physical Therapy. This year’s conference was held February 1-4, 2007 at Science-City, Kollkata, India. The research data was presented in a paper titled, Treatment of Low Back Pain by Spinal Decompression by Ms. Malti Hiranandani, Chief Physical Therapist at The Back and Neck Clinic, Hyderabad, India. During Ms. Hiranandani’s research the experiences of 75 patients between the ages of 25 to 75 who were treated on the DRX9000™ were studied. According to Ms. Hiranandani’s report, among the study participants were 17 cases of bulging discs, 15 cases of protruded discs, 5 cases of extruded discs, 16 cases of degenerated discs, 7 cases of post-surgical recurrence of pain, 5 cases of desiccated discs, and 5 cases of stenosis (soft tissue). To assess the treatment on the DRX9000™, data was collected utilizing a Visual Analog Scale, SLR measurements and the slump test before and after treatment. The slump test is a sitting dural tension test used as an orthopedic physical assessment tool in which the patient sits upright while the therapist passively raises the left and/or right leg. A positive test is indicated if the patient complains of back pain. According to Ms. Hiranandani’s report at the conference, treatment on the DRX9000™ was determined to be effective based on feedback from the patients, orthopedic testing and VAS scores. Ms. Hiranandani summarized her findings by stating that treatment on the DRX9000™ “… is effective for the treatment of low back pain. It is evident from both subjective and objective examination results.” Ms. Hiranandani was awarded the “Capri Prize” for her research.
The forgoing study was not sponsored by Axiom Worldwide. However, the author of the study, Malti Hiranandani, is affiliated with Axiom Worldwide's distributor in India. Axiom has made no determination of and makes no representations as to the design, scope or manner in which the study was conducted. Axiom Worldwide's referencing the presentation of the study should not be construed to mean that Axiom Worldwide represents that the study establishes any conclusive success rate or the efficacy of the device. The information is offered simply to demonstrate the exciting activity ongoing with the DRX9000™. As always, individual patient’s experiences with the DRX9000™ may vary and patients should always consult with their physician to determine whether treatment on the DRX9000™ makes sense for them.
