Overview
Character of the study:
A pilot project.
Objective:
To verify the influence of a rest regimen together with the nutritional supplement Geladrink Fast in patients with acute attack of painful syndrome in lumbodorsal region with verified discopathy.
Methods:
15 patients without any other pharmaceutical or physical therapy used the preparation Geladrink Fast according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. The evaluation of the pain was on a ten-degree pain scale.
Results:
In 9 p0atienbts there was decrease of pain by 2-3 degrees.
Conclusion:
The preparation Geladrink Fast may play a role as a useful supplement of other kinds of treatment in patients with discopathy.
Key words:
