Analysis of the Autonomic Regulation in a Case of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy after Ken Ware Treatment

Abstract

This is a study on autonomic neuroscience. In a previous paper in [1], we studied a subject affected from facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy before and after Ken Ware treatment (NPT). Using the non linear methodology of the Generalized Mutual Information (GMI) analysis of Sensory Motor Rhythm, we produced detailed results evidencing that the mentioned NPT treatment involved a net improvement of the patient under his subjective psychological condition, and in particular, under the neurological and sensory motor profile. We quantified with accuracy the improvement that the subject realized during such treatment. Of course, previous studies of several authors have evidenced that muscular dystrophies are strongly linked to a profound ANS disfunction. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to analyze the ANS of the subject before and after the treatment. We performed analysis in time as well as in frequency domain and by using non linear methods. The basic result of the paper was that, according to our analysis, the subjects started with a serious ANS disfunction before the NPT treatment and that a net improvement was obtained after this therapy. All the examined parameters resulted strongly altered before the treatment and all they returned in the normal range after the NPT.

Verification of the Validity of the NPT Treatment in Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: An Investigation Performed by Application of Random Matrix Theory

“…The sEMG recorded signals in six different regions of interest evidence that we are in presnece of fluctuations in the recorede muscular activities and we have so serious difficulties tio establish if such fluctuations still hidden some kind of correlation and of coherence among the transitions of the subsequent states of the muscular activities or if, on the contrary, they still exhibit some kind of correlation that of course it results impossible to establish by visual inspection as well as with traditional analytical methods. As said, we know that in normal conditions continuous chaos-chaos as well as chaos-order transitions are realized during muscular-neurological activity and the NPT treatment has the office to recover and improve such chaotic self-rearrangements in condition of pathology [47]- [51]; in the present case our objective is now to evidence the results that we obtained after the application of the RMT method in order to verify if the NPT treatment induced or not improvements in the subject.…”

“…As also said pre-viously the subject was submitted to the NPT treatment. We repeat that this is a treatment that we have considered repeatedly in a number of our previous papers [47]- [51]. Always it gave us very satisfactory results when we examined it under the clinical profile, under the profile of the subjective improvement of the subject and, finally, under the profile of its examination by our advanced linear and non linear methodlogies of investigation.…”

“…We selected to apply such RMT method just to examine and to verify the validity of this NPT treatment. We selected a disease that is one of the most severe pathologies, the case of the Hereditary Spastic Paraplegy (HSP) just to establish with the most accurate method if such NPT treatment is able to give improvements also in this case in addition to the cases of muscular dystrophy that we studied previously [47]- [51]. The results that we have obtained evidence without doubts that this NPT treatment represents a very encouraging advance not only in the field of the treatment in itself but substantially also in the foundations that it implies and recalling the dynamics of chaos and /or quantum chaos as well as the central role of the ANS component acting in a determinant mode on all the neuromuscular pathologies.…”

“…We evidenced in detail that such sEMG signal is marked but an intense set of interactions engaging a lot of chaos-chaos transitions as well as chaos m-order transitions in a regime of continuous self-arrangement and self-reorganization. We will not enter in the details here but we invite the reader to examine in details our previous contributions [47]- [51]. In these conditions, it should represent certainly a great clinical and medical advance if we could introduce a new method able to discriminate in detail such previously mentioned nature of the involved dynamics.…”

“…This is of course a neurophysical treatment that has been introduced by the first time from one of us (KW) and that has been explained in detail in our previous papers where we had the possibility to demonstrate the improvemenets that it induces when treating cases of muscular dystrophy. In such previous papers [47]- [51] we explained in detail also the theoretcial foundations of such based NPT method evidencing that they are based on vhaos theory and in particular in the rearrangemenet that is induced from the NPT in the continuous chaos-chaos transitions and chaos-chaos and chaos-order induced dynamics. Follow uing the NPT treatment, the patient was also able to systematically relax, there was an immediate relaxation of very long term HSP symptoms.…”
