Abstract
Objective:
To study the efficacy and safety of artrosilene in the combination with piascledine in patients with low-back pain.
Methods:
Sixty patients, 42 women and 18 men (mean age 53,6±10,4 years) with chronic nonspecific low-back pain were treated with artrosilene (ketoprofen lysine salt) in the combination with the chondro protector piascledine (a mix of avocado and soybean oil extracts).
Results:
There the persistent decrease in the intensity of pain syndrome and severity of vertebral syndrome and improvement of quality of life.
Conclusions:
The drugs can be recommended for treatment of nonspecific low-back pain.

01:23Degenerative Disc Disease ll: Pathophysiology
30
The symptoms of degenerative disc disease arise from a combination of mechanical compression, vascular compromise, and biochemical inflammation, which together disrupt nerve function and produce pain.Mechanical CompressionDisc degeneration reduces height and elasticity, predisposing to herniation of the nucleus pulposus, a major cause of radicular pain. Herniations may be protrusion (bulging with intact annulus), extrusion (nucleus extends beyond disc but remains connected), or sequestration...

3.3K
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

01:29Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction
40
Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...
