Clinical Trial Summary

The basic purpose of current research is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of therapeutic exercises and educational sessions after microdiscectomy through Minimally Invasive Surgery for disc herniation. A Randomized trial will be conducted on 60 patients from Ghurki hospital , divided into two groups. Simple random sampling will be utilized as sampling strategy. Assessment of physical activities of daily living and quality of life will be performed before and after 8 weeks of post intervention surgery through Oswestry Disability Index, Physical activity survey , SF 36 and Subjective Quality of Life scale respectively . A follow up assessment will be performed after 6 months. Analysis will be done through SPSS 21.


Clinical Trial Description

The increasing number of spinal injuries and pathologies directs the need of technological advancement in spinal surgeries and its approaches in Pakistan. Among various expansion in surgical procedures; minimally invasive surgery of spine has gaining more advantage for spinal decompression, spinal fusion and instrumentation over lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine areas considering multilevel pathology.(1) Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), has attracted increasing attention within the last decade. The common thread between all minimally invasive spine surgeries is use of smaller incisions and less deterioration of surrounding soft tissue, typically results in less pain after surgery and a faster recovery with reduced length of stay at hospital. The patient reported functional outcome after this procedure was found to be better in comparison with the open approach procedures.(2) Therapeutic exercise post-operatively was programmed to maximize recovery and to minimize potential future problems including disability and improving quality of life. Three different approaches for post-operative management has been practiced including: 1. Recovery phase: 4 to 16 weeks of limited activity following the surgery, 2. eliminating post-operative activity restriction leads to enhanced short-term outcomes for patients after limited open discectomy, 3. Incorporating therapeutic exercise intervention program.(3) The purpose of therapeutic exercise post-operatively was to maximize recovery and to minimize potential future problems including disability and improving quality of life. (4)The therapeutic intervention program comprises of two components: patient education and exercise therapy based on protocols by clinical expertise considering the philosophy of surgeon. Patient education comprises of a one hour counseling session. Therapeutic exercise program encompasses trunk strengthening exercises (both isometrics and dynamics) along with core stabilization exercises and endurance training. (5) ;
