Resumo
Among the causes of low-back pain in elderly patients, lumbar spinal syndrome and facet syndrom have a special place. The article considers the pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, clinical features of these pain syndromes, and modern potentials for their relief. NSAID ketorolac is proposed as a drug of choice for relief of low back pain back. Along with high analgesic activity, ketorolac has a rapid (10-15 minutes) and long-term (more than 6 hours) effect. In addition, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants can be used in the treatment of low-back pain.
