NATURAL MEDICATIONS AS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY TO TREAT THE PAIN SYNDROME IN RHEUMATOLOGY

E.V. Shikh, N.N. Eremenko

Abstract

Nonsteroid anti-inflammatory medications are the basis of pharmacotherapy for the pain syndrome, which is accounted for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and febrifuge effects. The existing data on the dangers experienced during the prolonged application of the nonsteroid anti-inflammatory medications determines the necessity to look for the new medications with the similar pharmacodynamic effects. An alternative way to treat patients, suffering from chronic pain syndrome, might be plant extracts, in particular, zinaxin made of ginger and galangal in compliance with lipocap technology, which has anti-inflammatory, anesthetic and chondroprotective effects.
Key words: children, pain syndrome, rheumatic diseases.
