Rehabilitation of patients with vertebrogenic muscular-tonic and radicular syndromes allows not only to get rid of pain, but also to return a person’s ability to move, restore working capacity and significantly improve the quality of life, minimizing the risk of future exacerbations.
AIMS
Development of scientifically based approaches to comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with vertebrogenic muscular-tonic and radicular syndromes aimed at restoring lost functions, reducing pain syndrome and returning patients with DDZP to active everyday life.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
A total of 89 patients with vertebrogenic muscular-tonic and radicular syndromes with dorsopathy were examined. The average age and duration of the disease in patients were 52.1±7.34 years and 5.0±1.12 years, respectively. The dynamics of the clinical and objective state of patients with DDZP was assessed using various treatment regimens. Statistical processing of the study results was carried out using the Statistica 10.0 software package. Differences were considered significant at p<0.05.
RESULTS
The results of the study demonstrate a significant improvement in the clinical and objective condition of patients with DDD when using various treatment regimens, especially when using therapy according to regimens III and IV. Evaluation of the dynamics of complaints showed that treatment according to these regimens is more effective than according to regimen I. Objective indicators, which include radiographic signs of scoliosis and MRI data, also indicate positive dynamics when using therapy regimens III and IV. In most patients who received therapy according to these regimens, signs of disc deformation disappeared. The identified improvements in ENMG signs during therapy according to III and IV regimens show a decrease in radicular and neuromuscular disorders.
CONCLUSIONS
In the rehabilitation of patients with vertebrogenic muscular-tonic and radicular syndromes, the most effective treatment method is courses of manual therapy and acupuncture.
