Popis: Chronic pain sufferers with vertebral osteochondrosis (altogether 80 patients) have been examined. The course of the pain syndrome and its intensity were studied with a modified McGill's pain questionnaire. The latter proved able to provide a reliable reflection of the pain qualitative and quantitative characteristics allowing objective evaluation of pelotherapeutic analgetic potential. A course of pelotherapy resulted in pain relief and improved values of its basic components under study. Introduction of the analgetic coefficient promoted gradation of pelotherapy-induced analgetic effect.
