Scientifically Tested: The Effectiveness of the KUBCO Spinal Orthosis
Since its introduction, the KUBCO Spinal Orthosis has been scientifically tested in several clinics for its effectiveness and benefits for patients with chronic back pain. The results clearly show that the KUBCO Spinal Orthosis offers sustainable improvement in quality of life and can simultaneously reduce the costs of pain therapy in the long term.
The Study: Successes of the KUBCO Spinal Orthosis in Clinical Application
Since 2004, patients treated with a dynamic Kubin Orthosis (KUBCO Orthosis) at the Asklepios Burgseekliniken Bad Salzungen, and since 2010 also at the Asklepios Katharina-Schroth-Klinik Bad Sobernheim, have been surveyed. The results of the survey were summarized in a scientific study.
Study Design and Patient Group
Participants
A total of 598 surveyed patients, 89% female and 11% male
Average Age
Patients between 28 and 78 years old, with an average age of 57 years
Response Rate
438 completed and usable questionnaires, almost three-quarters of all participants
Study Objectives
The study included patients with chronic pain in the lower thoracic spine (T-spine) and lumbar spine (L-spine). Diagnoses included scoliosis, osteochondrosis, herniated discs, rotational slip, lumbago, and lumbar radiculopathy.
The study aimed to assess the wearing time, comfort, and impact of the KUBCO Spinal Orthosis on pain, medication requirements, quality of life, and patient performance.
Study Results
The results of the study showed a highly significant positive effect of the KUBCO Spinal Orthosis on the examined criteria:
Pain Reduction
Significant decrease in pain for most patients
Medication Requirements
Reduced need for pain medication through regular use of the orthosis
Quality of Life
Noticeable improvement in daily life, increased mobility, and joy of living
The KUBCO Spinal Orthosis has also proven to be a long-term cost-saving measure, as it can avoid expensive and risky surgeries in many cases. This raises the question of facilitated cost coverage by insurance.
Who This Orthosis is Right For
The KUBCO Spinal Orthosis is ideal for patients with chronic back pain or specific spinal conditions such as scoliosis, osteochondrosis, and lumbago. It provides targeted relief and helps alleviate pain and improve quality of life.
