Abstract
Chronic migraine and cervicalgia have a significant impact on the quality of life of patients. Traditional treatment methods do not always provide long-term improvement, which necessitates the search for alternative methods of therapy. Electrotherapy and botulinum therapy are considered as promising methods for reducing pain and improving the general condition of patients.
Objective: Comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of electrotherapy and botulinum therapy on muscle tone and pain syndrome in patients with chronic migraine and cervicalgia.
Material and methods: The study included 61 patients with chronic migraine and cervicalgia, divided into two groups. Patients of the first group (n=31) received a course of electrotherapy (TENS), patients of the second group (n=30) - botulinum therapy. The pain threshold was assessed by the method of algometry before and one month after treatment in key muscle groups (sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles).
Results: Under the influence of electrotherapy and botulinum therapy, a significant reduction in pain syndrome was noted. However, patients who received electrotherapy had a more pronounced decrease in muscle tone and pain in all muscle groups studied, which was confirmed by a significant increase in the pain threshold (by 53-71%) compared to botulinum therapy (by 26-38%).
Conclusion: Electrotherapy and botulinum therapy are effective methods of treating chronic migraine and cervicalgia, but electrotherapy showed more pronounced results in reducing muscle tone and pain. These studies confirm the feasibility of using electrotherapy as a preferred method of treating this category of patients.
期刊介绍：
The journal deals with the study of the mechanism of a physiological and therapeutic effect of physical and health resort factors, methods and results of their employment, as well as with theoretical and practical problems involved in the use of exercise therapy in combined treatment of different diseases. The results of research and experience of using physical and health resort methods in medical practice and organization of physiotherapeutic and sanatorial and health resort service, book reviews on physiotherapy, health resort science and exercise therapy are published. Scientific life of allied specialities, proceedings of congresses, conferences, symposia (including foreign), the activity of republican and local societies, etc., are covered.
