[The use of myorelaxants in the treatment of chronic non-specific pelvic pain].

UNLABELLED: Chronic nonspecific pelvic pain is one of the most pressing problems of modern neurology, due to complex interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic studies. The etiology and pathophysiology of pain syndromes are studied from the point of view of each individual medical specialty, but do not consider the relationship and interaction of pathogenetic factors. In many areas, clinical guidelines for the treatment of chronic pelvic pain have been developed, but without taking into account the multidisciplinary approach to this polyetiological disease.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the efficacy of tolperisone (calmirex) in patients with chronic nonspecific pelvic pain receiving standard therapy.

MATERIAL AND

METHODS

In the course of clinical work, 61 patients with chronic nonspecific pelvic pain were observed. To identify the dynamics of the study, all patients were assessed for the severity of pain using a visually analogue scale (VAS), the area of pain, muscle-tonic reactions estimated by the index of muscle tension according to Khabirov. Deviations of the biomechanical parameters of the pelvic region and restoration of the musculoskeletal system statics were evaluated. According to the study protocol, the efficacy of tolperisone (calmirex) was studied in patients receiving standard therapy.

RESULTS AND

CONCLUSION

Myofascial and muscle-tonic reactions play a significant role in the development and maintenance of chronic nonspecific pelvic pain. At the same time, tolperisone (calmirex) together with standard therapy of chronic nonspecific pelvic pain contributes to an effective regression of pain of myofascial and muscular-tonic origin, and creates a favorable restorative background for non-drug treatment.
