Abstract

Acute musculoskeletal (non-specific) back pain is one of the most common causes of medical visits and temporary disability. A patient with acute non-specific back pain should be informed about the benign nature of the disease, a favorable prognosis, the expediency of maintaining physical activity, and receive a recommendation to avoid bed rest. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants are most commonly used to relieve the pain. The use of group B vitamins as additional analgesics in acute non-specific back pain is discussed, data from placebo-controlled studies and a meta-analysis of studies on the use of group B vitamins as additional analgesics are analyzed. Data on the positive role of neurotropic group B vitamins in the prevention of relapses in patients with back pain are presented. The possibilities of therapeutic exercises in the prevention of repeated episodes of back pain are discussed.
