The role of non-steroid anti-inflammatory medicines in the treatment of pain syndrome in patients with lumbar pain

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, NSAIDs) are drugs that have analgesic (analgesic), antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects. Their mechanism of action is based on blocking certain enzymes (COX, cyclooxygenase), they are responsible for the production of prostaglandins - chemicals that contribute to inflammation, fever, pain. The word "non-steroidal", which is contained in the name of the group of drugs, emphasizes the fact that drugs in this group are not synthetic analogues of steroid hormones - powerful hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs.
