Abstract
Objective: to comparatively evaluate the clinical efficiency of cervicocranialgia therapy with dexketoprofen (flamadex) and tolperisone (calmyrex), as well as with their combination.
Patients and methods. The investigation enrolled 90 patients aged 30–60 years with cervicocranialgia, who were randomized into three equal groups. Group 1 included 7 men and 23 women who took dexketoprofen; Group 2 consisted of 13 men and 17 women who were prescribed dexketoprofen and tolperisone; Group 3 comprised 18 men and 12 women who used tolperisone. The three patient groups underwent assessment of the intensity of pain on a visual analogue scale and the degree of muscle tone on a 3-point scale and evaluation of the efficiency of therapy and the hemodynamic effect of the drugs in the common carotid and vertebral arteries.
Results and discussion. In all the groups, their treatment reversed neck pain, headache, and dizziness, normalized muscle tone, and improved hemodynamics in the carotid and vertebral arteries. The effect was more pronounced in patients receiving combination treatment (Group 2). The therapy showed a high safety and a good tolerability.
Conclusion. Dexketoprofen and tolperisone have been demonstrated to be effective and safe in treating cervicocranialgia.
