SPINAL PAIN SYNDROME: DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMS AND APPROACHES TO COMBINATION THERAPY
Abstract
The paper considers an association between spinal pain syndrome and the magnitude of vertebral column changes in osteochondrosis and the specific features and characteristics of pain syndrome. It gives the data that allow the consideration of spinal osteochondrosis as a degenerative and dystrophic process that is concurrent with the compensatory rearrangement of a vertebral motor segment, chiefly a disk, and aimed at adapting the functional capacities of the vertebral column as a whole. The issues of therapy for spinal pain syndrome with a combination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and a vitamin B (B1, B6, and B12) complex are covered.
