Questions and answers

 
  Painful muscle spasm - the tonic muscle tension that occurs in response to pain irritation is characterized by an increase in muscle tone with prolonged involuntary contractions of the skeletal muscles that cause pain.

  What conditions are accompanied by painful muscle spasm (BMS)?

  -lumbago-classic example of BMS;

 

  -lumbalgia, lumbar ischialgia;

 

  cervicalgia, cervicobrachialgia;

 

  -radiculopathies;

 

  myofascial pain;

 

  back pain in oncology;

 

  diseases of the internal organs.

  Key recommendations for relieving painful muscle spasm?

  -medical therapy;

 

  -observance of motor regime;

 

  -mode of work and rest;

 

  FTL, massage;

 

  -reflexotherapy;

 

  local injection therapy;

 

  -Topic NSAIDs and muscle relaxants (ointments).

  What groups of drugs are used to treat painful muscle spasm?

steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;

 

  muscle relaxants;

 

  antidepressants.

  Why muscle relaxants should be used in the treatment of painful muscle spasm?

  - inhibit spinal reflexes;

 

  -reduce reflex muscular tension;

 

  -reduce pain;

 

  -improve motor functions;

 

  -increase the effectiveness of manual and drug therapy, exercise therapy and massage, enhance the effect of novocaine blockade and physiotherapeutic treatment.

  Adding muscle relaxants to NSAIDs and physiotherapy helps to reduce treatment time due to faster regression of pain, muscle tension, improved spinal mobility and reduces the risk of side effects of NSAIDs by reducing the dosage of the latter during combination therapy.
