PROSPECTS FOR THE APPLICATION OF PHARMACOPUNCTURE IN MOTOR DISORDERS AND MYOFASCIAL PAIN SYNDROMES

This article is dedicated to the therapeutic properties of pharmacopuncture (also known as biopuncture), a method based on injecting medicinal substances into reflexotherapy points. The presented material is the result of our research on the effectiveness of pharmacopuncture in pathological conditions associated with pain syndromes and movement restrictions. Pharmacopuncture is classified as an original approach since it combines principles of traditional medicine with classical medical practices. This method aims to achieve therapeutic effects in specific nosological forms by administering medications into reflexotherapy points. Our research revealed that pharmacopuncture using the Midokalm drug, which belongs to the group of central muscle relaxants, demonstrates high efficacy. Additionally, when Midokalm was applied through pharmacopuncture, an enhancement in therapeutic potential was observed. Keywords: Reflexotherapy, Pharmacopuncture, Motor Disorders, Muscle Relaxant.
