Abstract

Discogenic radiculopathy is the most severe form of degenerative-dystrophic lesion of the spine, which is based on disc degeneration with subsequent involvement of adjacent vertebral bodies, intervertebral joints, and ligamentous apparatus [2,8]. So far, there are many unresolved questions in the etiology and pathogenesis of this disease. Despite the progress in understanding the pathomorphology and clinic of discogenic radiculopathy, the search for pathogenetic, and, therefore, highly effective treatment has not been completed [4,15].

Today, in the practice of a neurologist, the definition of lumbosacral radiculopathy (RCR) is widespread as a nosology characterized by damage to the nerve roots at the lumbosacral level with damage to the intervertebral discs (IVD) and joints of the spinal motion segments (SDS), ligamentous and muscular apparatus with the formation compression-ischemic and concomitant muscular-tonic syndromes caused by functional overstrain of organs and systems.

In this paper, in accordance with the international trend, the term “chronic lumbar radiculopathy” refers to chronic pain in the lumbar region of non-visceral etiology.
