S. Babinets, A. L. Nadkevych   Department of Primary Medicosanitary Aid and Family Medicine of the I.Ya. Horbachevsky Ternopil State Medical University, Ternopil   Abstract More significant positive evolution of pain syndrome elimination in osteopenia-associated lumbar osteochondrosis in the case the course of meloxicam pharmacopuncture is included in the complex treatment in comparison with the group of conventional treatment (from 100% to 6.7 and 26.35%, respectively). Implication of meloxicam pharmacopuncture in the complex treatment of patients with osteopenia- associated lumbar osteochondrosis resulted in certain decrease of anti-inflammatory cytokines (necrosis factor for tumors-α and interleukin-1) as well as increase of anti-inflammatory interleukin-10 cytokine in comparison with conventional intramuscular drug injection. 3 months’ conventional treatment enhanced by meloxicam pharmacopuncture revealed reliable tendency to the recovery of lost bone weight (2.46±0.04) % according to Young Adult % value) and more substantial decrease (considering NO2 metabolite level). of endothelial dysfunction (from 5.1±0.02 to 3.8±0.05 mcmol/l, p<0.05), what confirmed high anti-inflammatory meloxicam efficacy as well as the practicability of its injection into acupuncture points according to the suggested technique.   Key words: reflex manifestations of lumbar osteochondrosis, osteodeficiency, pharmacopuncture, meloxicam (movalis), cytokine status, endothelial dysfunction.
