Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a common condition occurring in the population in different age groups; it is characterized by a tendency to relapse.Acute pain may transform to chronic pain, causing patient disability. The goal of LBP treatment is to timely relieve painful sensations so that the patient can return to his/her normal life as soon as possible. The patient is required to participate in the therapeutic process. Ketonal that shows high efficacy and good tolerability is widely used to treat patients with LBP. The medication is available in different dosage forms, which makes it possible to individualize the therapeutic process and to reduce drug load due to its possible topical application.
