Complex assessment of regional hemodynamics with tetrapolar rheography and laser Doppler fluometry in patients with low back pain syndrome

Objective. To assess hemodynamic disturbances in pts with low back pain syndrome (LBPS). Material and methods. 57 pts with LBPS were examined (12 female and 45 male) aged 18 to 53 years (mean age 36,7 years). Spine osteochondritis was diagnosed in most of them. 34 had subacute and 23 - chronic LBPS...

Description
Summary:Objective. To assess hemodynamic disturbances in pts with low back pain syndrome (LBPS). Material and methods. 57 pts with LBPS were examined (12 female and 45 male) aged 18 to 53 years (mean age 36,7 years). Spine osteochondritis was diagnosed in most of them. 34 had subacute and 23 - chronic LBPS course. In 32 pts peripheral hemodinamic indices were examined with tetrapolar rheo- vasography by “ARM-RhEO" apparatus. In 25 pts total local blood flow was assessed in pain points with laser-Doppler fluometry (LDF-2 apparatus). 35 healthy individuals of comparable age and sex were included in control group. Results. 77% of pts showed small vessels tone decrease most prominent in pts with subacute LBPS course. Arterial wall elasticity diminution was revealed in 63% of cases, significant reduction of blood filling level - in 82%, venous flow-out obstacle - in 87%. There was a connection between degree of local blood flow increase in back pain points and (PI) score: 0,19 V in pts with PI>60 u and 0,13 V in pts with PK40 u (in control group - 0,08 V, p<0,05) what shows perifocal edema in most painful points. Conclusion. Revealed regional hemodynamic and microcirculation disturbances can objectively confirm participation of hemodynamic disturbances in pain syndrome genesis and serve as a basis for perfection of LBPS treatment methods.
