Összefoglaló. Nemzetközi kutatások szerint a deréktáji fájdalom 2019-ben 568 millió embert érintett világszerte. Magyarországon a lakosság 20%-a él krónikus derékfájdalommal, ami nemcsak egészségügyi, de szociális és ökonómiai krízist is jelent. A probléma aktualitását jól mutatja az is, hogy a Nemzetközi Fájdalomkutatási Társaság a 2021. évet a derékfájdalomról szóló globális évnek kiáltotta ki. A derékfájdalmak megfelelő kezelése és a krónikussá válás megelőzése tehát kiemelten fontos. Ebben nyújthatnak segítséget az evidenciákon alapuló irányelvek. Magyarországon azonban jelenleg nincs hatályos, egységes irányelv, mely a derékfájdalmakkal, azon belül is a krónikus derékfájdalom kezelésével foglalkozna. A jelen közleményben a krónikus derékfájdalom evidenciákon alapuló diagnosztikai és kezelési lehetőségeinek áttekintését tűztük ki célul. Az irodalomkutatást követően, a jelenleg is hatályos, AGREE II. rendszer szerinti magas minőségű besorolást elérő, krónikus deréktáji fájdalomra vonatkozó, angol nyelvű nemzetközi irányelvek ajánlásainak összehasonlítását végeztük el. Tanulmányunkban hét irányelvet dolgoztunk fel (négy európai, kettő amerikai, egy kanadai), melyek mindegyikében a következő közös ajánlások kerültek megfogalmazásra: a súlyos patológiák kizárása az alarm tünetek alapján, a pszichoszociális tényezők figyelembevétele, a szükségtelen képalkotó vizsgálat visszaszorítása, az elsősorban aktív, nem gyógyszeres terápiák preferálása és a nemszteroid gyulladáscsökkentők körültekintő felírása. Az európai irányelvekben új elemként szerepelt a krónikussá válás korai rizikóbecslése. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(49): 1951–1961.
Summary. In 2019, low back pain caused the highest burden globally, among musculoskeletal disorders, affecting 568 million people. According to Hungarian sociodemographic data, 20% of the Hungarian adults live with chronic low back pain that is a global health priority. Therefore, the International Association for the Study of Pain announced 2021 as the global year about back pain. Evidence-based guidelines about the appropriate treatment of acute low back pain and prevention of chronic low back pain are therefore of paramount importance. However, there are currently no valid, uniform treatment guidelines in Hungary about acute and chronic lower back pain. In this paper, we aimed at summarizing up-to-date, evidence-based diagnostic and treatment recommendations for chronic low back pain. Using a literature review, we identified seven international treatment guidelines (four from Europe, two from the United States and one from Canada) in English for the management of chronic low back pain that were previously assessed by the AGREE II quality assessment tool. We found consistent recommendations in the guidelines such as exclusion of alarm symptoms, assessment of psycho-social factors, reduction of unnecessary imaging, initialization of primarily active, non-pharmacological therapies, and careful and cautious prescription of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. A new recommendation in the European guidelines is the early risk assessment of low back pain becoming chronic. Orv Hetil. 2021; 162(49): 1951–1961.
