| | 11/03 BioMechanics: Ultrasound relief improves with hydrocortisone |
| | The two clinical studies that provide the practical basis for the present use of hydrocortisone phonophoresis were performed by Griffin et al14 and Kleinkort and Wood,21 who demonstrated that hydrocortisone phonophoresis was clinically more effective than ultrasound alone in the treatment of patients with a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. | | | The percent change in VAS for pain relief was twice as great (37% versus 16%) in the hydrocortisone treatment subjects as in the placebo treatment patients. | | | With the exception of one patient in the hydrocortisone treatment group who demonstrated reduced pain but no improvement in ROM, all other instances of pain reduction were consistent with ROM improvement. |

| | Safety Of Hydrocortisone As CFS Treatment Questioned |
| | The researchers conclude that though this is the first study, to their knowledge, to show an improvement in CFS due to a drug treatment, the low-dose hydrocortisone treatment probably is not viable in a clinical setting. | | | The researchers tested the amount of hydrocortisone in patients with CFS and found that they had on average about 30 percent less hydrocortisone than healthy controls. | | | Robin McKenzie, M.D., of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD., and colleagues studied the effect of low-dose hydrocortisone as a treatment for CFS. |

| | Newsroom Some CFS Patients Benefit from Low-Dose Steroid, But Side Effects Too Risky |
| | "The greater benefit seen in the hydrocortisone group, however, was modest, and there was clear evidence of adrenal suppression by the drug." Twelve of 33 patients on the therapy developed laboratory evidence of adrenal insufficiency. | | | The hydrocortisone recipients experienced significantly greater average improvement (6.3 vs. 1.7 points on a 100-point scale), and more of them improved by at least 5, 10 or 15 points. | | | To determine if they could restore the hormonal balance and thereby improve certain CFS symptoms, Dr. Straus and his former NIAID colleague, Robin McKenzie, M.D., designed a clinical trial to treat CFS patients with hydrocortisone, a synthetic form of cortisol. |

| | The challenge for the doctor treating a patient with a lack of hydrocortisone is to provide the lowest level of replacement which will allow the patient to feel well and have a normal life without the problem of overdosage. | | | Remember the doctor is only giving a replacement dose of cortisol and the patient is not being treated with the high doses of powerful steroids that may be given to patients with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. | | | Absence of hydrocortisone results in lethargy, malaise and low blood pressure, and when combined with another disorder such as an infection or a stomach disorder can rapidly result in collapse and even death. |
