Aim: to evaluate the effectiveness of two options for the original administration of Zeel^® T in dorsopathies.

Patients and Methods: 90 patients with acute lumbosacral dorsopathy underwent the follow-up. The examination program included neurological, psychological and electrophysiological (thermo- and rheography) analysis. Patients were divided into 3 groups, in which Zeel^® T was prescribed along with conventional therapy. In the comparison group, the drug was administered intramuscularly, while in the two main groups — topically by pharmacopuncture (injections in the area of acupuncture points) or phonophoresis, respectively.

Results: the study noted the therapeutic validity of topical drug administration, including a distinct analgesic effect. Differences within the main groups concerned thermographic characteristics, with the predominance of pharmacopuncture in distal hypothermia reduction. Changes in rheogram indices were comparable. According to the catamnesis, the incidence of dorsopathy exacerbations did not exceed 27% outside of reliable intergroup differences. However, only in the main groups the increase in neurological symptoms was minor.

Conclusion: the established effectiveness of pharmacopuncture and phonophoresis can be explained by the combination of reflex and drug effects provided by these methods. At the same time, the known differences in the achieved effects, as well as the execution peculiarities, determine the choice of a specific method. Based on the above, we can recommend the use of different administration methods of Zeel^® T depending on the existing conditions and therapy goals.
