Abstract
Thermographic studies were performed in 30 cases with lumbar spinal canal stenosis. Two weeks after oral administration of 150mg/day Eperisone hydrochloride, 13 cases showed improvment in clinical complaints and elevation of skin temparature in both legs was observed. 17 cases showed neither clinical improvement and nor apparent elevation of skin temparature. The 13 improved cases showed further elevation of temparature two weeks after administration of Eperisone hydrochloride, with characteristically selective elevation on the posterior side of affected lower leg. The other 17 cases, showed some clinical improvement, but almost no apparent elevation of skin temparature of legs following the two weeks combined administration of 600mg/day Tiaprofenic acid with Eperizon hydrochloride.
