Low back pain caused by vertebrogenic pathology is encountered in 60-80% of adult population. We studied efficacy of balneopeloid factors of Klyuchi health resort (Perm Region) and transcranial electrostimulation (TCE) in 60 patients with primary chronic low back pain.

Pain relieved and psychovegetative status improved in both groups but the effect was more pronounced in group 2.
