[Structum in combined treatment of low back pain syndrome]
Aim:
To assess duration of a clinical response and tolerance of structum in patients with low back pain (LBP) and comorbid cardiovascular disease.
Material And Methods:
25 patients with primary LBP and coronary heart disease (n = 13) and/or essential arterial hypertension (n = 18) were examined and treated for 6 months with structum.
Results:
To the end of the first treatment months structum significantly relieved pain intensity, spinal motility, increased exercise tolerance. Excellent and good response to structum were observed in 71% patients, no response was in 29%. Tolerance of the drug was good in 23 (92%) patients. The effect persisted for 3 months. CHD characteristics did not change while arterial pressure went down noticiably.
Conclusion:
Structum is highly effective in the treatment of LBP. Its long-term intake had no effect on CHD.
