The quality of life of patients with chronic pain syndrome remains one of the most pressing issues. Pain is considered chronic if it lasts or recurs for more than 3-6 months. This contributes to disability, depression, sleep disorders, poor quality of life, and what is important in this situation, the cost of treatment. According to statistics, the average prevalence of chronic pain in the adult population is 20%. Practitioners everywhere are in search of new methods of pain relief. Purpose of research. The quality of life of patients with chronic pain syndrome has traditionally remained a topical issue. Given the permanent nature of pain and the completeness of approaches to its relief, the modern Clinician is constantly looking for new treatment methods that meet the principles of evidence-based medicine and safety. Material and methods. This paper presents the results of using Neurouridine® in 30 patients with peripheral neuropathy. 30 patients were randomized for a 3-week treatment period. Average age: 47.5±1.5 years. All patients received standard symptomatic therapy, and an oral combination drug containing b vitamins, folic acid, choline, and Uridine was added to the treatment in the 150 mg mode once a day. Patients made three visits to the outpatient neurological office: visit 1-to evaluate pre-treatment, visit 2-after 10 days of treatment, and visit 3-after 20 days of treatment. Each patient was presented with two performance evaluations at each study visit: pain assessment on the CRS NRS scale, and the fps Face scale. Results and discussion. Analysis of the results of the treatment showed improvement in the form of reduced pain, improved quality of life in 65.90%, rapid recovery of performance in 32.10%, reduced need for analgesics in 59.90% and complete disappearance of symptoms in 25.30% of patients. Pain was assessed using the HI NRG scale, the AZA Face scale, and the frequency of analgesics at the patient's first, second, and third visits. Conclusion. The use of Neurouridine® for analgesic purposes has shown a positive effect on reducing symptoms in patients with peripheral neuropathy. The results confirm that this therapy provides a clear regeneration of the nerves, relieving pain, and reducing the soreness characteristic of nerve damage.
