ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION. The prevalence and severity of the consequences of dorsopathies allows us to classify these conditions as significant medical and social problems. At the same time, their characteristic resistance to standard methods of influence leads to the search for new treatment regimens.
AIM. To analyze the mechanisms and effectiveness of the system of sequential course application of electrical stimulation methods in the treatment of patients with lumbosacral dorsopathy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 90 patients under the age of 65 with prolonged exacerbation of lumbosacral dorsopathy were selected for observation. The results of clinical and radiological analysis were supplemented by the data of psychological and instrumental analysis. In the first phase of the study, patients were divided into two groups, in which standard treatment was performed. In the 1st group, the comparison group of 30 people, the impact was limited, and in the 2nd, the main group (of 60 people), electroacupuncture was additionally used — the activation of a number of points with an electric current by means of acupuncture needles inserted into them. After a month, the patients independently underwent a cycle of non-invasive transcutaneous electrical stimulation. At the same time, in the comparison group, as in 1/2 of the main group, the true impact was performed, while in 1/2 — imitation, with the use of models.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. At the end of the first stage of treatment, a significant advantage in terms of effectiveness of the main one over the comparison group was revealed. These differences were manifested in the degree of regression of neurological symptoms, including the dynamics of algias, as well as in the improvement of mental and vascular levels. After six months, only in the 1/2 of the main group, where patients underwent true transcutaneous electrical stimulation, the stability of the results was recorded, which was combined with a significantly smaller number of exacerbations of the vertebrogenic process.
CONCLUSION. The advantage, in terms of effectiveness and therapeutic reliability, of the consistent use of electrical stimulation courses is primarily due to the formation of a trace reaction, characteristic of both physiotherapy and reflexology.
