[Clinical and biochemical mechanisms of the formation of chronic low back pain].
A comprehensive survey of 78 patients with chronic vertebral low back pain was conducted. Among them were 23 (29,5%) patients with radiculopathy and 55 (70,5%) patients with reflex syndromes without exacerbations. It was shown that patients with compressive syndromes of lumbar dorsopathy were characterized by the high intensity of pain, pronounced neuropathic pain component, lower quality of life as well as the significantly low serum serotonin content that was correlated with the degree of neuropathic pain severity and depression level.
