Ostreoarthritis treatment with Rotational Field Quantum Magnetic Resonance Device –RFQMR-(Cytotron).

Dear Mr. Subbarao - I am sorry to hear this. I am planning to get this treatment done for my mother (aged 65) and currently in her 3rd stage of this problem. We learnt of this treatment from newspaper ad. of Safe Health Knee joint centre at Banjara Hills in Hyderabad. If you may answer our few questions below, we can take a proper decision -

1. Which center did you get this treatment done?

2. In what stage of ailment your mother was prior to starting the treatment?

3. Did the doctors/centre promise you a free 2nd treatment, should the first one fail? If they promised, did they fulfill the promise, and is your mother's condition the same after the 2nd exposure?

4. How much did the treatment cost you?

5. Did you get to do a reference check before starting the treatment, and did anyone give you a positive feedback before you took the treatment? I am trying to check if this treatment is a general failure for all, or if there is some amount of success rate (they claim 90%).

6. Any other points that we should keep in mind before going in for this treatment.

Thanks - Ashwani

Can you please update how your mother is feeling now after going through all sessions?

Thanks,

Well, she has just completed her repeat sessions. While she complains about the pain, she also perhaps acknowledges that there has been some improvement in her condition. Not entirely sure if that is due to her restricted diet (yes, she is on a restricted diet for about 8 months now) and exercise regime, which is good. I am not saying that restricting your diet isn't good, but we weren't aware of these requirements before starting the treatment.

Nonetheless, clinical results show a marginal improvement (about 5%) following the procedure.

Ala - I am sorry to hear that there was only 5% improvement even after "repeat" sessions, and that there were conditions on the diet as well. Even we were not made aware of the diet restrictions during our consultations. My mother is in 3rd stage of the condition and we are planning to get this treatment at Hyderabad. Any inputs from your side would help. Thanks

Hello Ala - Given that your mother may have completed 1 year after this treatment, I wanted to check the progress - as I am planning to get this treatment done for my mother who is in her 3rd stage of this condition. We are planning to get this done here at a centre in Hyderabad. They are also promising a "free" 2nd session just in case the treatment does not work well in the 1st session. Kindly advice. Thanks

Hi,

Thankfully, I 've had an opportunity to spend some long time (2 months) with my Mom recently. Here's what I have observed so far. Following the "repeat" session, I think she is improving. She is able to walk about 25-35 meters without any stops or need for rest. She can now stand for longer, (i.e. about 10-15 mins) without significant pains. She can sit and get up from a chair much more easily (earlier getting up from a sitting position was a nightmare and therefore she used to avoid either sitting or getting up, which kind a largely reduced her overall mobility). She walks up straight now as compared to kinda limping on each leg at a time earlier.

She continues to do her exercises, which I feel are central to her condition and improvements.

I don't intend to compare RFQMR and knee replacement (KR). - However, "the" reason I chose RFQMR over KR was - should this fail I could still opt for a KR, albeit that she was and is absolutely reluctant to choose KR.

I think it took a while for her get to where she is, but I am glad she got here. One could argue that she could have improved even w/o RFQMR by simply restricting to some very good amount of exercises and a diet regime that helps tissue regenration..

If money wasn't a factor for choosing this option - in that you are prepared to forget the spend and the time invested, then certainly worth giving a shot.

I guess my reservation stems from the fact that Insurance companies are not willing to cover this treatement. Which to me suggests that the treatement and its results aren't completely predictable yet.

Hope that helps.

Hello Ala - I greatly appreciate your detailed reply. This has assured me to go ahead with the treatment. You are very correct with the Insurance problem - but by God's grace we may be able to override this problem (finances). A couple of my last questions are as follows - i) Did you by any chance got this treatment done at Hyderabad (Safe Health Centre? ii) This centre is promising us a "free" repeat treatment if the 1st one fails - do we get this in writing from the centre - how was it in your Mom's case - was the repeat treatment free? iii) what was the age and weight of your mother at the time of initial treatment? iv) what stage was the problem at the start of the treatment? Thanks again for all your help

1. She had her treatment elsewhere.

2. The centre did not assure of a free second treatment, however clinical investigations and comparative reports suggested that she had less than 5% improvement, which in my opinion were the reasons of offering a repeat session. I must admit that the staff and management were professional enough to make that offer upfront, rather than us having to negotiate it.

3. She was upwards of 90Kg, aged 60.

4. I am not aware of any specific grade but I know that her condition was advanced and she had severe pain in both the knees.

I am glad that my comments were of help.

Regards

Hello Ala - Thanks much for your immediate reply and the answers to ALL my queries. Yes, ALL your responses were helpful and I will be sharing these with my parents (most importantly my mother, who is the patient), and this will help them to be mentally prepared (expectation setting) with the expected results / success of this treatment. Thanks indeed.

My 80 year mother approximate 80 kgs is healthy except or her knee. she walks few steps herself with the help of a walker. she also walks to the toilet and use european toilet by heself, with great pain using rails fixed on the wall whereever she walk so that she walks few steps.
Major problem is her difficulty to climb steps. She does it with great pain.
8 years ago doctors proposed to do knee replacement surgery, but she didnot agree to it. Will QMR help her at this age? howmany such patients were treated and howmany were beniitted? these inormations will benifit me to take her to a QMR centre in kerala or bangalore.

kind regards
