DYNAMICS OF DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS AFTER COMPLEX NEUROLOGICAL TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH LUMBOSACRAL INTERVERTEBRAL DISC HERNIATION

Intervertebral disc herniation is the most common and most severe manifestation of spinal osteochondrosis. It develops a radicular pain syndrome, which may be accompanied by paresis or paralysis of the muscles of the lower extremities, sensory disturbances, and impaired pelvic organ function. 19% of patients with herniated discs require surgical treatment. Dystrophic changes in the lumbosacral spine are most pronounced at the age of 20 to 50 years and are one of the most frequent causes of temporary disability and often the disability of the patient. Up to 50% of all surgical interventions in neurosurgical hospitals are performed for disc pathology at the lumbosacral level.
