Serious causes that need to be considered include infection, malignancy, rheumatologic diseases and neurologie disorders. The following drug groups principally can be applied for back pain: non-opioid analgesic (acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), muscle relaxants, opioid analgesic, antidepressants. Another drug is flupirtine a centrally acting
non-opioid analgesic. Flupirtine has a specific mode of action as selective neuronal potassium channel opener and shows analgesic, muscle tone normalisation properties and protects from pain chronification
