Re: Coronado-Zarco R, Cruz-Medina E, Arellano-Hernandez A, et al. Effectiveness of calcitonin in intermittent claudication treatment of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. A systemic review. Spine 2009;34;22:E818-27.

摘要

In their recent article, Coronado-Zarco et al claim that calcitonin has no value in neurogenic spinal claudication associated with lumbar spinal stenosis. This is based on data from 4 articles, which were not meta-analyzed due to "great heterogeneity" of the data.
