FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely neurology, and is applicable for treating damaged intervertebral discs. That is ensured by conservative management. The latter is added by combined dimephosphone therapy by the dimephosphone intake and the electrophoresis procedures with 1.5% dimephosphone solution. The dimephosphone electrophoresis is conducted in 1.5 hours after the morning and evening dimephosphone intake. A cathode is applied directly on a projection of a damaged spine. An anode is applied on an inferior cervical or lumbosacral spine. The therapeutic course makes 15 electrophoresis procedures of 15-20 minutes.
EFFECT: method provides higher clinical effectiveness in damaged intervertebral discs of the cervicothoracic and lumbosacral spine ensured by the selected dose schedule of dimephosphone providing simultaneous intake of dimephosphone introduced orally, from blood into the damaged segment and deposition in subjacent tissues of ionised dimephosphone introduced by the electrophoresis that leads to prolonged therapeutic action of the preparation.
