Filter by:Patients who will undergo herniated disc surgery have serious pain after surgery. In order to minimise this pain and to ensure that they recover more quickly and use less morphine-derived painkillers, we aim to apply two types of painkiller injections before surgery. For this purpose, it is planned to apply painkiller injections on both sides of the level of the herniated disc with sedation before the operation. Afterwards, herniated disc surgery will be performed under general anaesthesia.
In the normal healthy population, the sagittal alignment can be divided into four types based on the size of the sacral slope and lumbar lordosis. The effect of this sagittal profile especially type 2 with almost straight lordosis on the clinical outcomes of patients after mini-open discectomy is unknown. In this study, the results of patients who underwent mini-open discectomy were evaluated according to sagittal profile types of the patients.
Introduction: Improving postoperative pain management after spinal surgery is a significant challenge for surgeons and anesthesiologists. Pain following spinal surgery, can lead to significant morbidity, limit early mobility, and increase the risk of chronic pain. This trial examines the analgesic effects of dexamethasone as an adjuvant to ropivacaine in wound infiltration after lumbar surgery. Methods: In this study, we randomly assigned sixty patients undergoing lumbar laminectomy and/or osteosynthesis into two groups of 30 patients each. The control group (R-group) received only Ropivacaine (150 mg of Ropivacaine 7.5% (20 ml) added to 2 ml of normal saline in the wound infiltration), while the intervention group (RD-group) received Ropivacaine with the addition of dexamethasone (150 mg of Ropivacaine 7.5% (20 ml) added to 8 mg of dexamethasone in the wound infiltration). Both groups were administered patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine for self-medication. Postoperatively, a blinded evaluator assessed pain at H0, recorded the assessment of surgical scar pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 4, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours, as well as the time to the first opioid request, cumulative morphine consumption, opioid-related side effects, and length of stay. All patients were scheduled for a 3-month follow-up call to monitor chronic pain progression.
To compare between local anesthesia combined with intravenous Dexmedetomidine and epidural analgesia as regard the effectiveness and patient satisfaction during percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy.
When the literature is examined, there are studies examining the relationship between low back pain and anxiety depression, quality of life and LDH in patients with lumbar disc herniation. There are many studies on the clinical use of manual therapy methods in LDH. Most of these studies examine the effect of manual therapy on pain and functional level. However, there are hardly any studies examining the effect of manual therapy on quality of life and psychological factors in LDH patients. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of mobilization, which is a manual therapy application, on psychological factors (kinesiophobia, pain catastrophic thought, anxiety and depression) and quality of life in LDH patients.
This study will be conducted to compare the effect of sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGS) versus neural mobilization on clinical outcomes such as 1- nerve root function in the form of: (A) peak to peak amplitude; (B) latency; (C) F wave. 2- pain pressure threshold (PPT) and 3- Neck disability index (NDI) in patients with cervical disc (C5-C6 and/or C6-C7) herniation. Seventy two patients from both gender with cervical disc (C 5-C 6 and/or C 6- C7) herniation with both sensory and motor nerve affections will be recruited for this study following referral from an experienced neurologist and confirmed diagnosis by MRI. The patients' age will range between 20-50 years, body mass index (BMI) from 18 to 25 kg/cm2. The patients will be assigned randomly by permuted block to three equal groups; group (A) will receive SNAGS in addition to traditional therapy, group (B) will receive neural mobilization in addition to traditional therapy and group (C) will receive traditional therapy. peak to peak amplitude, nerve latency and F wave will be measured by electromyography, , pressure pain threshold will be measured by commander algometer. Neck disability will be measured by Arabic neck disability index.
This study aims to evaluate the clinical (pain) and functional (patient reported outcomes) efficacy of percutaneous discectomies under CT guidance to treat lumbar disc herniations resistant to conservative treatment and nerve root infiltrations. The aim is also to evaluate the economic impact of the procedure, mainly through the length of hospitalization and the time to return to work. Patients were evaluated initially before surgery and then at 1, 3 and 6 months.
Spinal mobilization methods are passive maneuvers that are made lighter and do not exceed the physiological range of motion in order to increase joint mobility. Mobilization applications are easier and safer than manipulation applications involving forceful pushing. Although there are many literatures reporting the therapeutic efficacy of long-term mobilization applications on LDH, there is no study on the effect of applications on radiological findings of LDH. In the light of the information mentioned above, the aim of this study is; To examine the effect of mobilization applications on radiological findings and functional level in patients with LDH
Background: The selection of primary outcomes that reflect the real symptoms and conditions of patients is instrumental in clinical studies on the effectiveness of specific treatment modalities. This study aimed to explore the appropriate outcomes that reflect the real-world needs and concerns of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and provide a basis for designing related clinical trials. Methods and Findings: This cross-sectional nationwide web-based survey study was conducted in South Korea in November 2022. Patients who were diagnosed with LDH and had LDH-related radiating leg pain were enrolled. The questionnaire consisted of 5 parts: basic characteristics, disease onset, symptom and severity, priority symptoms for improvement, and important factors in treatment. Overall, 500 patients (100 patients from the each age group) were enrolled.
In anterior cervical disc surgery, head and neck extansion position and, surgical retraction used while reaching the anterior surface of the cervical vertebra can be affect the carotid blood flow and constituting a risk for cerebral ischaemia. In this study, we planned to investigate the relationship between head position and retraction, cerebral oxygenation and postoperative cognitive functions in patients undergoing anterior cervical disc surgery.
