Abstract:
The results of the dexamethasone test were compared with the depression depth and pain intensity in patients with low back pain caused by degenerative changes and/or disc prolapse. In the light of these studies no correlation was demonstrated between the positive results of the dexamethasone test and depression symptoms and the intensity and duration of pain.
