title: [Sexual dysfunction in chronic painful radicular syndrome and the ways of its correction].

To correct the disorders found, use was made of chorionic gonadotropin as part of multimodality therapy, which led to acceleration of painful radicular syndrome regress, less frequent occurrence of disease relapses and contributed to sexual rehabilitation if combined with familial psychotherapy.
