[The psychological characteristics of patients with neurological manifestations of lumbar osteochondrosis]. 1997

V N Grigor'eva, and A V Gustov

Both clinical-neurological and psychological examinations of 42 patients with neurological manifestations of lumbar osteochondrosis with chronic or chronic recurring course were carried out. The main features of personality in most cases were anxiety, hypochondria, passivity and demonstrativity. The clinical signs of nonspecific psycho-emotional tension was found in 70% of cases. Its level correlated negatively with the effectiveness of the treatment. It was established that the negative influence of personality on the course of disease and on the effectiveness of its therapy was connected with the predisposition of such individuals to unfavourable type of reaction toward disease and to development of psychic adaptation disorders.
