QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH BACK PAIN
Abstract
The article presents data on the effect of pain syndrome in patients with dorsopathies on the quality of their life. Back pain is an actual problem of modern medicine. In 82-95 % of cases back pain is caused by dorsopathies. Chronic dorsopathies restrict patients' capacity for work, reduce quality of life, change minds and behavior. Therefore improvement of the quality of life of patients is an important aim of therapy. We studied the effect of back pain on the quality of life of patients with dorsopathy. To assess the quality of life we used non-specific questionnaire SF-36. This questionnaire allows to estimate "basic condition of the body", "physical functioning", "role functioning", "pain intensity", "social functioning", "emotional state", "life activity" and "mental health". The features of parameters of quality of life depending on the nature of pain in patients with dorsopathy were determined, the relationship between quality of life and the intensity of pain in patients with dorsopathy was showed as the result of the research.
