[Treatment possibilities of the non-specific (psychosomatic) pain syndrome of the locomotor system].

The so-called psychosomatic pain syndrome of the locomotor system, particularly of the back (brachialgia, lumbalgia, sciatica), is often associated with deeper psychic disturbances, sometimes even with masked depressions or advanced neurotic conditions. Certain cases require special treatment such as psychotherapy or antidepressive pharmacotherapy. In many cases, however, a psychoanalgesic drug, Dolo Visano, has proven effective in these non-specific pain syndromes of the locomotor system. Dolo Visano is a combination of acetylosalicylic acid, codeine phosphate, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, nicotinic acid and meprobamate. The results of a clinical trial in 50 patients are described in detail. The drug was generally well tolerated.
