Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy of the complex therapy of nonspecific low back pain (LBP) with amelotex, calmirex, kompligamB in comparison with the monotherapy with amelotex.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
This observational study included sixty patients, aged 53.73±11.84 53 years, with nonspecific LBP. Patients were divided into 2 groups: the basic group (n=30) received calmirex (150mg 2 times a day during 10 days), amelotex (7.5 mg 2 times a day, 7 days) and kompligamB (1 ml once a day, 10 days). The control group (n=30) received only amelotex (7.5 mg 2 times a day, 7 days). The dynamics of the condition was assessed on a 10-point numerical rating scale (at rest, walking, palpation), the Oswestry functional status questionnaire (Oswestry Disability Index; ODI), as well as indicators of laboratory markers reflecting the severity of the inflammatory process (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein (CRP)).
RESULTS
The severity of pain syndrome significantly decreased in both groups, to a greater extent in the basic group, and ODI indicators also significantly improved in the basic group. CRP indicators showed more pronounced changes in the basic group.
CONCLUSION
The complex therapy that affects all links in the formation of pain syndrome should be recommended to patients with LBP.
