Abstract:

Reflex vertebrogenic syndromes are a group of pain disorders caused by degenerative-dystrophic changes in the spine and surrounding structures, without direct nerve root compression. These syndromes manifest as reflex muscle-tonic and pain reactions in various spinal regions — cervical, thoracic, and lumbar — leading to conditions such as cervicalgia, cervicobrachialgia, thoracalgia, lumbalgia, and lumboischialgia.
