Radiological findings showed spondylotic canal stenosis with osteophytes and disc protrusions. The Bi-Digital O-Ring Test indicated a strong abnormal response around the right side of his neck and right shoulder, including the area of the vertebral artery and at acupuncture point GB 21, where positive resonant responses to Cytomegalovirus and Streptococcus faecalis were detected. Antibiotic and anti-viral agents, as well as Ku-Oketsu-Zai, a type of Oriental herbal medicine for overcoming blood stagnation or stasis, were administered according to the drug compatibility test using the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test and the following clinical results were obtained. Infection at the site of the vertebral artery and the peri-artcrial sympathetic nerve plexus was considered as a cause of the prolongation of the symptoms including Barr\u00e9-Li\u00e9ou syndrome, in this case. In addition we especially noted, in this clinical case, that the patient\u2019s impaired grasping force dramatically improved from 8 kg to 52 kg in a very short periods of time when the patient held suitable medicine selected with the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test drug compatibility test We assume that the drug action was transferred electromagnetically, by which the pathological electromagnetic oscillations caused by trauma and following infections were scavenged. This effect might lead to an improvement in the coordination of the neuromuscular system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3727\/036012997816356644","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,3]],"date-time":"2015-11-03T00:29:30Z","timestamp":1446510570000},"page":"167-174","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Bi-Digital O-Ring Test Used in the Successful Diagnosis &amp; Treatment (With Antibiotic, Anti-Viral Agents &amp; Oriental Herbal Medicine) of a Patient Suffering from Pain &amp; Weakness of an Upper Extremity &amp; Barr\u00e9-Li\u00e9ou Syndrome Appearing after Whiplash Injury.A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Satoshi","family":"Ayuzawa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heiichi","family":"Yano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine, Kashiwa Hospital, Jikei University School of Medicine, Chiba, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takao","family":"Enomoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurobiology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Shanghai Medical University, Shanghai, 200032, P.R.China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroo","family":"Kobayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ishioka Neurosurgical Hospital, Ibaraki, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tadao","family":"Nose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dept. of Neurosurgery, Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1997,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-3959(94)90123-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_1","first-page":"1246","article-title":"Sur un syndrome sympathique cervical post\u00e9rieur et sa cause fr\u00e9quente: l\u2019arthrite cervicale","volume":"33","author":"Barr\u00e9 M","year":"1926","unstructured":"2.
