Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Methods of diagnosing and monitoring chronic back and cervical pain are disclosed. The methods involved subjecting a body fluid sample from a patient suspected of having chronic lower back or cervical pain to two-dimensional electrophoresis or an immunoassay and measuring relative amounts of protein or proteins which increase or decrease in concentration as compared to a standard control. Also disclosed are kits for use with the diagnostic methods. L'invention se rapporte à des procédés de diagnostic et de contrôle pour les douleurs lombaires et cervicales de type chronique, qui consistent à soumettre un échantillon de fluide corporel d'un patient supposé souffrir de douleurs cervicales ou du bas du dos du type chronique à une électrophorèse bidimensionnelle ou à une immunoanalyse, puis à mesurer les quantités relatives de protéine(s) dont la concentration augmente ou diminue par rapport à un témoin standard. L'invention décrit également des kits à utiliser avec ces procédés de diagnostic.
