Ведение пациентов с острой болью в спине в настоящее время и 10 лет назад

Management of patients with acute back pain is one of the urgent problems in modern medicine. Objective : to assess the management of patients with acute and subacute back pain in 2007–2008 and 2017–2018. Patients and methods . The authors present their own experience in treating 140 patients (87 women and 53 men) (mean age, 50.7±17.6 years) at present and 70 patients (40 women and 30 men) (mean age, 46.5±15.0 years) 10 years ago. Results and discussion. The experience shows the high efficiency of managing patients with acute back pain during information sharing (an educational conversation), a personalized approach (treatment of concomitant diseases and conditions) and, use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. However, these methods are not widely used in general clinical practice now, as 10 years ago. Conclusion . To improve the quality of medical care, the additional education and training of physicians are required for the management of patients with back pain.
