Filter by:LDH is a common phenomenon that is often described in association with various pathological processes affecting the neuromuscular and locomotor systems. It is not only associated with pathology but it can also be observed in healthy individuals with no evidence of any dysfunction. Since LDH is observed in such a large percentage of healthy subjects, it is probably more appropriate to perceive it as a physiological phenomenon with silent clinical biomechanical changes
Lumbar disc herniation (HDL) is one of the main causes for low back pain and sciatica. Although non surgical care remains the gold standard as first treatment, lumbar discectomy is used to effectively relieve symptoms that persist for prolonged periods. With surgical techniques evolution, minimally invasive spine surgery has emerged in recent decades as an alternative to conventional open surgery and is widely used for HDL treatment. Several minimally invasive surgical endoscopic techniques have been developed for disc herniation: Single Portal Endoscopy (SE), Video Assisted Endoscopic Discectomy, and recently Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy (UBE). Currently, SE is considered as the minimally invasive surgery gold standard for HDL but, over the past two years, UBE for the treatment of degenerative lumbar diseases has increased exponentially with faster learning curve than other endoscopic techniques. As an emerging technique, further studies are needed to better understand UBE. This is why Dr. Cristini's team wish to analyze a cohort of patients for whom this technique has been used since July 2022, in particular the complication rate. Controlling a new technique requires a learning phase. This is why Dr. Cristini's team also wishes to describe the learning curve on the cohort of patients for whom UBE was used since July 2022.
Low back pain is a symptom that is frequently seen in the general population and reduces the quality of life of patients. Conventional medical treatment for patients with low back pain includes oral medication, lifestyle modification, education, exercises, lumbar traction and manual manipulation, heat application, and other interventional procedures. Epidural injections, one of the interventional procedures, are one of the common treatment methods for low back pain, especially caused by disc prolapse. Steroids are commonly used to reduce inflammation in the epidural space. Epidural steroid injection can be given to the lumbar epidural space via transforaminal, interlaminar and caudal routes, and the effectiveness rate of each is different. These interventional methods used to treat low back pain can be applied in combination. The main purpose of this study is to observe how adding lumbar sympathetic blockade will affect the patient's pain in the postoperative period in patients to whom we applied caudal epidural and transforaminal steroid injection.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of SeaSpine Shoreline device in surgery of the cervical spine.
to compare ultrasonography (USG)-guided intertransverse process block and modified thoracolumbar interfascial plan (mTLIP) block in the treatment of postoperative pain in patients undergoing lumbar disc herniation surgery under general anesthesia.
This study is Interventional, Parallel, Double-blinded, Randomized study. Subjects aged 20 to 70 years who had a Lumbar discectomy or laminectomy, MegaShield-SP® and Guardix-SP Plus will be applied.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of specific three-dimensional (3D) positions of the trunk on patients with lumbar discogenic pain with radiculopathy aiming to find a position that directly decompresses the impinged root as well as the effect of this position on the CSA of the L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1 intervertebral foramen (IVF) using 3D-CT scan imaging of the real spine
Brief Summary: Inflammatory back pain is a chronic condition localized in the axial spine and sacroiliac joints.1 It often accompanies mechanical issues like lumbar disc herniation. While non-surgical interventions such as medication, physiotherapy, and epidural steroid injections are typically the initial approach, surgical options may be considered if these prove ineffective.2 Resolvins, derived from omega-3 fatty acids, have shown promise in reducing inflammation and pain. They help to resolve inflammatory responses, promote tissue repair, and decrease disc size, potentially reducing the need for surgery.3,4 This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of adding oral resolvins to transforaminal epidural steroid injections for treating lumbar disc herniation (LDH) The control group (Group C: n=25) will receive epidural steroids, while the study group (Group R: n=25) will receive both oral omega-3 supplementation and epidural steroids on the same day. Additionally, the study group will continue taking oral omega-3 supplements for six months. The primary outcome measure will be changes in protruded/extruded disc size assessed via MRI, with secondary outcomes including pain levels measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and serum cytokine levels (IL-6, IL-17, IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha) over the study period. Discussion: This trial anticipates that combining the anti-inflammatory properties of resolvins with epidural steroid injection will provide a beneficial treatment for patients suffering from inflammatory low back pain.
Utilizing the "responsive acupoint palpation" technique and infrared thermography, we investigated the distribution patterns of pressure-sensitive acupoints across different lumbar spinal segments in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methodology: The Finger TPS tactile pressure measurement system was employed to conduct sensitivity examinations on the acupoints of the L1~L5 lumbar spine in 80 LDH patients (Group 1) and 80 healthy individuals (Group 2), applying a standardized force of 60N. When a sensation of comfort was elicited, the points were marked on a human cutaneous nerve segment map. We then utilized infrared thermography to collect and compare the temperature differences of the top 10 most frequently responsive acupoint areas in the experimental group against those in the control group.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Xplane ultrasound with radiography for guidance of lumbar interforamen puncture in patients with lumbar disc herniation. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - The feasibility that the Xplane ultrasound assists surgeon in mastering lumbar interforamen puncture faster than radiography. - The clinical accuracy and safety of the Xplane ultrasound-guidance lumbar interforamen puncture faster. Participants will undergo lumbar interforamen puncture with guidance of Xplane ultrasound or radiography. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the first success rate, number of punctures, number of radiographies, puncture time and operator confidence score.
