StaceyYount Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Hey,Jim was looking up stuff for a lecture last night and happened to come across this web page. that discusses Barre-Lieou Syndromehttp://www.prolonews.com/barre__prolotherapy_newsletter.htmAnd I just wondered if anyone had heard of this before, or had been diagnosed or has had treatment for this. The web site is mainly aobut prolotherapy injections which I have no idea and am not sure about... The syndrome is what intrigued us. Talking about the neck and headaches and sympathetic nervous system and lists many of our symptoms. Just close enough that we are going to look more into it but thougth I would share and see if anyone else has heard of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lthomas521 Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 My guess is that "Barre-Lieou syndrome" is a wastebasket term that chiropractors and accupuncturists and so on use when they want to attribute whatever is wrong with you to what they imagine to be a structural abnormality of the vertebrae in your neck. It's not a term that real neurologists seem to use very much. http://jnnp.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/75/2/319Prolotherapy generally involves the injection of irritants to promote the development of scar tissue in specific locations. Personally, I would avoid it unless I had some clearly identified mechanical problem that a little bit of strategically placed scar tissue could fix. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.f...l=pubmed_docsum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poohbear Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 when I did a search for this on webmd the condition didn't even come up so it made me wonder if it's something Dr's either don't know about or don't believe in. Then again, it could be a typed in the wrong thing!!! I'm not the best computer person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
