Analysis of the results showed that chondroprotector is effective in lumbosacral dorsopathy at the prescribed dose: its use reduces the severity of symptoms by more than 50% from the initial level in 83.3% of patients, reduces the intensity of pain in 90%, eliminates the neuropathic component of pain in 73.3%, and significantly improves the quality of life by more than 10 points for each indicator of the SF-36 questionnaire in 76.7%. Chondroprotector showed a high safety profile; all patients demonstrated high compliance and completed the study in according to the plan. Thus, chondroprotector can be recommended in the treatment of lumbosacral dorsopathy with radiculoischemia.
