Regression of pain sindrome in patients with dorsopathy under the influence of multichannel electrostimulation

Objective. To study the effectiveness of complex treatment, including multichannel electrical stimulation, on pain syndrome in patients with lumbosacral dorsopathy with moderate pain syndrome. Material and methods. Patients with lumbosacral dorsopathy with moderate pain syndrome were observed, the general population of which (n = 60; 31.41 ± 4.27 years) was divided into two samples: patients in group 1 (control, n = 30) received standard drug therapy; Patients in the 2nd group (main, n = 30) additionally received multichannel electrical stimulation, 10–12 daily procedures. The dynamics of the pain syndrome sign was assessed according to the NRS scale. The observation periods were before treatment, after the course and 6 months later. Results of the study showed that before the start of treatment, the signs of pain syndrome according to the NRS scale in patients in both groups were increased and comparable, and their distribution corresponded to normality. In patients in the 2nd group, after complex treatment, including multichannel electrical stimulation, the pain syndrome decreased, and the effect lasted up to 6 months. In patients in the 1st group, improvement was observed only after the course of treatment. Conclusion. Complex treatment, including multichannel electrical stimulation, gives a longer-term effect in the form of pain reduction for six months. Monotherapy, using only drug therapy, is less effective.
