[Pain in the lower part of the spine in spinal osteochondrosis: experience in using chondroprotective drugs].

AIM: To assess the response to chondroitin sulfate (structum) in low back pain (LBP) due to spinal osteochondrosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 30 patients (mean age 51.4 years) with a definite primary LBP took structum in a dose 1 g/day for 24 weeks. The diagnosis was made according to WHO recommendations (2000). The response was assessed with uniform international questionnaires and visual analogue scale. RESULTS: The treatment reduced pain syndrome and improved spinal function in 73.3% patients with LBP studied. CONCLUSION: It would be valid to include long-acting chondroprotective drugs in the program of LBP in spinal osteochondrosis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Movalis was given in daily dose 15 mg for 7 days, then 7.5 mg daily for 14 days to 22 patients with LBS aged 34-56 years. All the patients had lumbosacral intervertebral osteochondrosis complicated with secondary radiculitis or myofascial syndrome. RESULTS: Movalis noticeably relieved pain syndrome. At the end of the treatment two-thirds of the patients were able to move. Tolerance of the drug was good, satisfactory and bad in 10, 7 and 1 patients, respectively. CONCLUSION: Movalis is effective in LBP syndrome.
