Back pain: Use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nayz, ketorol)

Abstract

To thoroughly collect medical history data and to elucidate the causes, degree, specific features, and trend of pain syndrome are of great importance in the diagnosis of acute back pain. When back pain is treated, it is necessary to keep in mind not only the intensity and onset of the pain and its other characteristics, but also a propensity to the chronicity of the process, individual patient characteristics, age, and comorbidity. Analgesics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and myorelaxants are effective in treating acute back pain. Data on the use of NSAIDs (nayz and ketorol) to relieve back pain are presented. The issues of chronic back pain and the administration of antidepressants, psychotherapy, and therapeutic exercises are discussed.
