Introduction. Lumbar algal syndrome is defined as pain that persists over 12 weeks and is determined by degenerative or traumatic vertebral processes. Chronic back pain is the costliest benign health problem faced by patients in industrialized countries and one of the most common causes of limiting the activity of persons under 45 years of age. [2,4] The treatment of chronic back pain can be structured. In 3 phases depending on the duration of symptoms. From the first stage of the disease, physiotherapy with analgesic effect, myorelaxant, and anti-dementia is recommended, in combination or not with the drug treatment. [3,5] These treatment schemes may also be followed in the following stages of pathology. Case presentation. Patient B.C. male, 44 years old, originally from the rural area, as a driver was admitted to the IMSP "State Hospital" (Chisinau), with accusations of pronounced lumbar pain, stinging and irradiation in the lower limb straight up to the knee level with acute exacerbation during the meal and prolonged orthostastatism. From anamnestic: The patient is a smoker for 20 years, leads a sedentary lifestyle, lumbar pain for 6 years with exacerbations 2-3 times a year. Established diagnosis: Subacute Lombosciatica on the right of vertebrogenic origin, persistent moderate algal syndrome; static and walking disorders; obesity grade I. The value of the algal syndrome tested according to the VAS scale was evaluated by the patient with 9-10 points. Signs of elongation: The Lasegue and Wassermann-Matskevich tests were positively appreciated on the right. Functional testing according to the Oswestry Disability Index Questionnaire [1] was scored by 4 points, finger-soil test = -23cm, Șober test = 10/12 cm. Quality of life was assessed by 56 points after the Short-Form Questionnaire [1]. Results. The patient received drug treatment and conventional rehabilitation therapy (kinetotherapy, electrotherapy) in combination with dry cupping therapy along the path of the lumbar paravertebral musculature. After 6 weeks from the beginning of the treatment the pain was noted with 2-3 points. The value of the Oswestry Disability Index Questionnaire reached 1 point. Lasegue and Wassermann- Matskevich tests - negative bilateral, finger-sol test = -4cm, Șober test = 10/15 cm. The summary value of the quality of life indices increased to 89 points (Short-Form questionnaire). Conclusions. The complex medical rehabilitation program associated with cupping therapy has greatly improved the functional status and quality of life of the person with lumbar algal syndrome. Cupping therapy can be a part of complex physio-functional rehabilitation programs.
