Abstract
Management of patients with acute back pain is one of the urgent problems in modern medicine.
Objective: to assess the management of patients with acute and subacute back pain in 2007–2008 and 2017–2018.
Patients and methods. The authors present their own experience in treating 140 patients (87 women and 53 men) (mean age, 50.7±17.6 years) at present and 70 patients (40 women and 30 men) (mean age, 46.5±15.0 years) 10 years ago.
Results and discussion. The experience shows the high efficiency of managing patients with acute back pain during information sharing (an educational conversation), a personalized approach (treatment of concomitant diseases and conditions) and, use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. However, these methods are not widely used in general clinical practice now, as 10 years ago.
Conclusion. To improve the quality of medical care, the additional education and training of physicians are required for the management of patients with back pain.
