Filter by:This intervention study is to evaluate the efficacy of a combination of conservative treatments compared to isometric exercise on clinical outcomes in patients with cervical radiculopathy. It is a randomized, parallel, 2-arm superiority trial study. The study will be conducted at the District General Hospital in Trincomalee, where patients with cervical radiculopathy seek medical care. Patients who refer to the Department of Physical Medicine (DPM) from the Out Patients Department (OPD), orthopedic clinic and surgical clinic with a diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy or neck and arm pain (symptoms extending distal to the shoulder) will be eligible for recruitment. The study details will be explained to the subjects in the language that they best understand. Written informed consent will be obtained from the individuals who express their willingness to participate in the study, and they will sign the informed consent document accordingly.
Low back pain is a common disease in all ages and it effects seriously quality of life. Medical treatment,interventional methods and surgery are the treatment options. Transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFSI) is one of the interventional method for radiculopathy with low back pain. Michigan State University(MSU) classification is a MRI based disc herniation classification. It helps to classified disc herniation in types, places and sizes. The aim of this study to evaluate the pain and oswestry disability index in patients who have radiculopathy with low back pain, undergone TFSI according to MSU classification.
The management of chronic lumbar radicular and neuropathic pain is complex and the treatment success rates are low. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) has been described in these cases. In order to determine whether high-voltage PRF show better results than PRF a prospective, doble-blinded and randomized study is conducted in patients with chronic lumbar radicular and neuropathic pain.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is thought to impact radiculopathy symptoms. The pressure exerted by fatty tissue on muscle tissue can also significantly affect the nerves. This condition causes radiculopathy. Therefore, high BMI causes an increase in the incidence of radiculopathy. Consequently, it is thought that pain caused by cervical radiculopathy may be related to BMI and affect functionality. Also, it is believed that with the increase in the load on the cervical region, there will be an increase in degenerative disorders and an increase in the incidence of radiculopathy. This study examines the relationship between BMI and peripheral muscle strength, pain, range of motion, disability, quality of life, and functionality in patients with cervical radiculopathy.
Radiculopathy is a clinical condition which involves one or more nerves resulting in impaired function. The site of injury in radiculopathy is at the level of the spinal nerve root. The result is pain known as radicular pain, weakness in limb, numbness, paresthesia and difficulty in controlling specific muscles. The objective of the study will be to see the effects of myofacsial release and nerve flossing technique on pain and disability in patients with lumbar radiculopathy.
To Compare the effects of high-level laser therapy (HLLT) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on pain in patients with lumbar radiculopathy.
-The goal of this observational study is to learn about the impact of the changes in cranio-vertebral angle on the cervicogenic dizziness and the risk of falling in the patients with cervical radiculopathy .The main question it aims to answer is: Is there an impact of the changes in cranio-vertebral angle on the cervicogenic dizziness and the risk of falling in the patients with cervical radiculopathy ? The participants will be undergone measuring the cranio-vertebral angle ,assessment of cervical proprioception and other tasks and questions through 3scales . Researchers will compare between study group and control group to see if there isimpact of the changes in cranio-vertebral angle on the cervicogenic dizziness and the risk of falling in the patients with cervical radiculopathy .
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of performing combined lumbar traction and repeated back extension exercise (McKenzie) on soleus H-reflex, pain, and disability in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy. The main question that it aims to answer is: Does the combination of lumbar traction and back extension exercise (McKenzie) improves soleus H-reflex, pain, and function in patient with lumbosacral radiculopathy? participants will be randomized into 2 groups: one group will include repeated back extension exercise (McKenzie Approach) without mechanical traction and the other group will include the same but in combination with mechanical traction.
Cervical radiculopathy is a common and disabling condition involving local pain in the neck region and pain that radiates into the upper limb. Recent data suggest that cervical traction may effectively reduce disability and pain, with a dose-response relationship. The main aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the effect of an intensive cervical traction protocol for patients with cervical radiculopathy on depression, insomnia, and quality of life (1).
Currently, microscopic discectomy is performed as a minimally invasive surgery, thus reducing impact of so-called conventional "open" discectomies. Although more technically demanding, discectomy with full endoscopy made possible a significant reduction of surgery invasive impact, thus making possible to broaden the field of endoscopic surgery indications. This study is based on hypothesis that complete endoscopic discectomy offers several advantages over traditional microscopic discectomy, including a smaller skin incision and therefore fewer scars and less muscle damage, lower infection rate, less blood loss, less painful post-operative recovery and shorter hospital stay length.
