Filter by:The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of caudal epidural steroid injection and caudal epidural pulsed radiofrequency stimulation in the relief of symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis. This evaluation used the numerical rating scale (NRS) to assess pain relief and the Medication Quantification Scale III (MQS III) to assess the effectiveness of the interventions on medication consumption. The rates of adverse events related to the interventions were also compared.
Objective To analyze the effectiveness and safety of robot-assisted percutaneous endoscopic posterior/transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (RPE-P/TLIF) in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis with instability. Methods A single-center prospective study from September 2018 to April 2022, patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and instability who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were treated with RPE-P/TLIF. Pain visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of low back pain and lower limb pain before operation, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year after operation and at the final follow-up, and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) was used to evaluate the degree of lumbar spinal function. At the last follow-up, MacNab criteria were used to evaluate the clinical efficacy. Imaging evaluation included the measurement of intervertebral space height, lumbar physiological curvature, fusion rate and pedicle screw accuracy by preoperative and lateral X-ray films.
This multicenter, non-comparative clinical trial, led by two principal investigators in Spain, aims to evaluate the safety and performance of a robotic assistant, based on a electromechanical tracking system, in patients requiring transpedicular screw fixation. The study, conducted in two different hospital centers, involves patients with vertebral fractures, spinal stenosis, kyphosis, and other related conditions. The primary objective is to determine screw accuracy by assessing the degree of screw invasion into the pedicle using the Gertzbein-Robbins scale, with a target of achieving 96% acceptable screw placement. Trained radiologists will evaluate the screw invasion into the pedicle. The study is scheduled to span 12 months and each intervention includes a 1-month follow-up. Throughout this time frame, patients will undergo regular assessments, and outcomes will be closely monitored.
It is seen that patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis often experience balance problems. Although the relationship between muscle thickness and balance has been explained, there are insufficient studies investigating the relationship between balance problems and muscle thickness in patients with LSS. In addition, no study has been found comparing the difference in muscle thickness and cross-sectional area in LSS patients with poor and normal balance. In addition, in LSS, pain, disability and fear of falling in balance disorders are nor clear. The aim of our study is to examine the relationship between balance and biopsychosocial factors that can affect it.
The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the 2 Minute Step Test (2MST) in patients with symptomatic degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis and to explore its correlation with objective assessment methods, namely the 2 Minute Walk Test (2MWT) and the 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT).
This study is a randomized controlled non-inferiority trial designed to evaluate the impact of implementing the 'Early Recovery After Surgery Clinical Pathway (ERAS CP)' on patient-reported pain levels at the time of discharge following Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (OLIF) surgery
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.
The specific aims of this proposal are to: Examining the effects of dorsal column stimulation on pain from lumbar spinal stenosis related to lumbar epidural lipomatosis. The primary outcome will be improvement in VAS score of combined back and leg pain at 6 weeks follow-up. Secondary outcomes will include improvement in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) back pain scores, VAS leg pain scores, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) , as well as SCS complication rate.

Lumbar spinal surgery is one of the operations performed for the treatment of leg and back pain. Severe pain may occur at postoperative period in patients following lumbar fusion surgery. The ultrasound(US) guided erector spina plan block (ESPB) is injected with a local anesthetic into the deep fascia of the erector spinae. Visualization of sonoanatomy with US is simple and the spread of local anesthetic solution can be seen easily the deep fascia of the erector spinae. In the literature, it has been reported that ESPB provides effective analgesia after lumbar spine surgery. The surgical team visualizes the transverse processes and erector spina muscle during surgery. The aim of this study is to compare US-guided ESPB and surgical infiltrative ESPB for postoperative analgesia management after lumbar spinal fusion surgery.
To investigate the effect of different degrees of fat infiltration on rocuronium use in lumbar surgery was monitored by trapezius muscle relaxation.
