Abstract
Dorsopathies are large and disparate group of diseases of the musculoskeletal and articular-ligamentous apparatus of the spine, which are united by the presence of pain syndrome in the trunk and extremities. Pain as a clinical phenomenon is one of the most diffi cult to interpret complaints encountered in medical practice. Despite the signifi cance of the problem, there are still diffi culties in objectivising and assessing the severity of the pain syndrome. Currently, methods of pain status assessment can be divided into objective, based on the analysis of the level of induced pain and instrumental registration of results; and subjective, such as the use of visual analogue pain scale. At the same time, the assessment of pain and painfulness from the position of osteopathic methodology is an important link in the course of distinguishing the prevalent component of DM, as well as in the framework of differential diagnosis. However, in practice, there may be some diffi culties in objectifying the degree of pain severity and assessing its change on the background of treatment. If for pain it is possible to use the analogue scales already mentioned, there is no such possibility to assess painfulness. We have described a clinical case to study the possibility of using pressor algometry in a patient with cervical dorsopathy to assess pain sensitivity (painfulness) and select correction techniques.
