[Vertebral pain syndrome and quality of life in senior women with vertebral fractures depending on their quantity and localization.].

The features of vertebral pain (VP) and quality of life in postmenopausal women were analyzed depending on the number and location of vertebral fractures (VF). It was found that the intensity of pain in thoracic and lumbar spines, according to McGill pain index, was significantly higher in patients with two or more VF compared to women without any fractures, and absence of differences in subjects with a single VF. Most indices of 11-component Numerical Rating Scale at the thoracic spine were significantly higher only in females with two or more VF.
