QUALITY OF LIFE WITH BACK PAIN IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCALIZATION (CERVICAL PAIN, BACK PAIN)

This article is based on examination data of 486 patients, who were divided into two groups according to anatomical principles - patients with pain in the neck - cervical dorsalgia and in the lower back - lumbosacral dorsalgia. An analysis of the quality of life showed that according to the Vernon and Major test in patients with cervical dorsalgia, there was a significant decrease in the quality of life of patients and corresponded to moderate limitations in life activity (p < 0.05). Moreover, in patients with nociceptive pain the average scores were slightly higher, which corresponded to serious limitations in relation to patients with neuropathic pain. According to the Roland-Morris questionnaire, a decrease in the quality of life of patients with lumbosacral dorsalgia was established and corresponded to moderate limitations in life activity (p <0.05). The result of the Oswestry questionnaire states depression of vital functions with moderate and severe pain.
