[The correction of cognitive and psychological disorders in the patients presenting with vertebrogenic pain syndrome].

The objective of the present study was the dynamic estimation of the intensity of pain syndrome with the use of a visual-analog scale (VAS), characteristics of the psychological status and cognitive disorders, quality of life, and brain electrogenesis in 50 patients presenting with vertebrogenic pain syndrome of lumbar-sacral localization. It was shown that long-standing pain syndrome plays the dysadaptive role, causes structural and functional changes in the central nervous system (CNS), and is responsible for psychoemotional and cognitive disorders. The introduction of transcranial stimulation in the combined treatment of such patients promotes correction and reversibility of the above disorders, enhances the efficacy of electrotherapy, and improves the quality of life in the subjects with vertebrogenic pain syndrome.
