title: [Combined rehabilitation treatment of patients with spinal dystrophy using epidural pharmacotherapy].
abstract: The article presents the results of treatment of 70 patients with spinal lumbosacral dystrophy complicated by dislocation of the intervertebral disks. All the patients had long-term history of the disease and exacerbation resistant to conservative treatment. Later, this treatment was changed for epidural long-term local pharmacotherapy (ELLP). The effect of this treatment was assessed by changes in pain syndrome in early and long-term periods, in MRT and CT images. ELLP proved effective as the response reached 83.2%. The maximal 95% response was achieved in combined treatment: ELLP + physio-, balneo-, kinesitherapy, massage. MRT and CT image dynamics show that pathological substrate disappears or significantly decreases in size in 83.4% cases.
