Combination therapy shows effectivenessCombined Rehabilitation with Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Resveratrol, and Cholecalciferolin Discogenic Sciatica in Young People: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Relevant clinical insights presented
We set out to explore whether a rehabilitation program combined with specific supplements could effectively treat sciatica in young patients. Our study involved 128 individuals who were divided into three groups: one receiving both rehabilitation and supplements, one only with rehabilitation, and one with only supplements.
After treatment, the group with both rehabilitation and supplements showed significant improvement in pain relief and overall quality of life compared to the others. While the supplement-only group didn’t perform as well, this combination approach proved beneficial, particularly in reducing pain and enhancing stability.

Vitamin B complex aids back pain[Study of the clinical efficacy and safety of the scheme of step therapy of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and a complex of B vitamins in patients with low back pain].
Medium relevance to back pain
We explored how effective vitamin B complex, alongside nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, is in treating back pain. Our study involved 70 patients divided into two groups, one receiving a vitamin B complex blend and the other a different pain relief combination.
Both groups showed improvement, but the first group experienced a clearer reduction in pain levels over time. By the third visit, they reported significantly less discomfort compared to the second group. Though both treatments were effective, the vitamin B complex showed a more pronounced impact on pain relief and patient satisfaction.

We sought to understand how intramuscular vitamin B12 could help alleviate low back pain in patients with mechanical lumbago. In a rigorous study involving 60 participants, we compared the effects of vitamin B12 to a placebo.
Our findings indicated that those receiving the vitamin reported significantly less pain and disability, as measured by a visual scale and disability questionnaire. Notably, those on vitamin B12 also used less paracetamol than the placebo group.
Overall, our study confirmed that vitamin B12 can be effective for treating low back pain without nutritional deficiency.

We examined how Dolo-Neurobion, a blend of essential B vitamins and an analgesic, affects acute lumbosacral pain. In a study of 53 patients, we found that this treatment yielded good to excellent results in 77.4% of cases, while 15.1% experienced moderate effects. The approach combined initial parenteral dosing with continuation through oral intake, and any necessary antibiotics were also used. Most notably, we observed no significant side effects, making Dolo-Neurobion a promising option for back pain relief linked to pelvic organ issues.

Vitamin B12 aids postoperative recoveryEffects of dexamethasone combined with vitamin B12 on percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy early outcomes: a randomized controlled trial.
High relevance for surgical outcomes
We explored how combining dexamethasone with vitamin B12 could impact early recovery from back and leg pain after a specific spine surgery called percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID).
In our study, patients were divided into two groups: one received only the surgery, while the other got epidural injections of both medications during surgery.
Results showed that the combined treatment significantly reduced pain and inflammation, leading to better early recovery outcomes. This suggests that using this combination might be a great option for patients undergoing this type of surgery.
