Abstract:

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the impact of treatment with Ipigrix on the dynamics of clinical symptoms, neurological status, and quality of life in patients with dorsalgia of the lumbosacral spine based on the DORISS non-interventional multicenter observational study.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

A total of 3563 patients with verified diagnoses of low back pain in 200 clinical centers across the Russian Federation who received comparable baseline therapy according to nosological standards were examined, some of whom additionally received oral or staged administration of Ipigrix. The primary endpoint of the study was the description of clinical and sociodemographic parameters, the consumption of medical resources, and the search for optimization of dorsalgia diagnosis in contemporary Russian outpatient neurological practice.

RESULTS

The population of patients included in the study represents a homogeneous group of educated, overweight people of working age with average severity of low back pain and related dysfunction. In 91.6% of cases nonspecific mechanisms of pain syndrome development with a moderate neuropathic component prevail in the genesis of back pain, being a reason for seeking medical advice once every 2 months on average. The overdiagnosis of lumbar radiculopathies is discussed, which most probably is of combined nature due to overuse and straightforward interpretation of neuroimaging results, nonsyndromological diagnosis, and classification defects.

CONCLUSION

Improving the methods of diagnosis and treatment of patients with PB will reduce the incidence and the number of relapses of pain syndrome
