COMPLEX REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH LOW BACK PAIN

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common diseases in medical practice, reaching 70%, with nonspecific pain observed in90% of cases. The aim of the work is to show the possibilities of complex rehabilitation treatment of patients with pain syndrome in the lower back, including therapeutic blockade and physical therapy according to the method developed by us. The study included42 patients with LBP aged 24 to 54, of which 28 (66.7%) men and 14 (33.3%) women, who were randomly divided into 2 groups. Patients of the main group (30 people) were given selective injections, from 2 to 7 injections depending on the severity of the painsyndrome and the duration of the disease. Patients of the control group - 12 people, were treated in accordance with the standard of care for LBP. After the course of treatment there was a decrease of clinical symptoms in both groups. The results of a comparativeclinical and instrumental study show a higher efficiency of differentiated use of selective injections of drugs and therapeutic exercis-es than standard medical care for LBP (analgesics, NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, physiotherapy).
