Abstract

Dorsopathy (DP) is the most common variant of musculoskeletal pain syndromes. Taking into account the chronic course of the disease with a tendency to recurrence, the high incidence of comorbid conditions, the need for a large number of medications, a serious problem is the choice of an effective drug with sufficient safety for use in individual patient. The article presents data on the possibility of the use of flupirtine, an original drug with the ability to activate potassium channels, providing analgesic and anti-spasmodic effects. The safety of the drug in patients with DP is analyzed.
