NSAIDs in the acute pain treatment from the viewpoint of a neurologist

MUDr. Tomáš Nežádal, Ph.D.
Institut neuropsychiatrické péče, Praha

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have a common analgesic, antipyretic and at higher doses in particular antiphlogistic

effect that differs this pharmacological group from other non-opioid analgesics. The term non-steroidal define these substances

in 1960 against the steroids administred in rheumatology. These are some of the most commonly used drugs. Neurologist's view

on the NSAIDs is not too revealing, but spectrum of NSAIDs in neurology is wide, with acute and chronic pain conditions, from

vertebral and radicular syndromes to migraines and a large group of other headaches. This insight tries to chart the position of

NSAIDs among other analgesics, their possible side effects and common neurological indications.

Keywords: NSAIDs, side effects, vertebral syndrome, headaches
