Osteochondrosis is characterized by degenerative changes in the intervertebral joints. The disease is complicated by the development of pain syndrome against the background of inflammation and edema of surrounding tissues. Specialists explain the occurrence of osteochondrosis in that when sympathetic nerve fibers are affected, impulses gradually passing through them to the blood vessels are weakened. As a result - violation of lumen and spasm of blood vessels, decreased blood supply to organs and tissues of the body. Treatment of osteochondrosis includes a whole complex of measures, including exercise therapy, massage, physiotherapy, manual therapy, the use of medicines, etc.
Effects of vasodilator drugs with cervical osteochondrosis
Great importance in drug therapy for osteochondrosis of the neck have vasodilator drugs. These medicines have the following effects:
- improve microcirculation in the pathological zone;
- eliminate stagnation of blood in tissues;
- restore the transmission of nerve impulses;
- normalize metabolic processes.
List of vasodilator drugs for osteochondrosis
The list of vasodilator drugs used in osteochondrosis is quite extensive. Note the most popular of them.
Eufillin
The medicine has an antispasmodic effect, improves cerebral and peripheral blood circulation. Also, the drug is used for electrophoresis - a procedure aimed at restoring microcirculation and regenerating intervertebral cartilage.
Pyracetam
The agent also belongs to the group of vascular drugs used for osteochondrosis. Receiving tablets improves cerebral blood supply and recovery of metabolic processes.
Cavinton (Vinpocetine)
This drug has a pronounced vasodilating effect. The drug has an antihypoxic effect (improves the absorption of oxygen) and normalizes metabolic processes.
Berlition
The drug is a concentrate of lipoic acid. The drug promotes increased blood flow, normalization of the functions of the neurovascular bundles, restoration of nerve impulses, vasodilation.
Xantinol nicotinate
This vascular agent causes the expansion of peripheral vessels and the activation of metabolic processes in tissues, improves the absorption of oxygen.
Vasodilator drugs-injections
Experts emphasize that when injected, the effect of medications is more pronounced. Also, when injected, the drug can be injected directly into the inflamed part of the cervical spine. Osteochondrosis of the neck is treated with medications.
Ketonal and Ketorolac
These drugs belong to the group of non-steroidal agents that reduce edematous phenomena, inflammation and pain syndrome.
Diclofenac and Voltaren
These drugs are anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic. Medicinal injections relieve stiffness, eliminate swelling and swelling of the joints.
Milgamma
This complex preparation contributes to the improvement of trophic nerve endings, which inevitably suffer from the development of cervical
Actovegin
Injections of Actovegin activate metabolic processes in tissues, stimulate regeneration in tissues, improve vascular tone and cerebral circulation. The solution can be administered intramuscularly, intravenously or intraarterially depending on the severity of the course of the disease.
Medical practice confirms that therapy with pharmaceuticals can reduce the manifestation of symptoms in the osteochondrosis of the cervical spine and accelerate the process of recovery.
