Filter by:In recent years, obesity has become one of the leading health problems worldwide. It is known that obesity can cause various diseases and negatively impact the quality of life. Therefore, many conditions believed to be affected by obesity and relevant to patients' quality of life have been scientifically investigated and continue to be researched. One of these conditions is postoperative pain, with studies in the literature indicating that postoperative pain levels increase in parallel with each unit increase in BMI. The incidence of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is on the rise and adversely affecting the quality of life. The primary surgical intervention for LDH is discectomy. In recent years, various less invasive techniques, such as microdiscectomy, have been described to improve both surgical and analgesic outcomes. However, even with microdiscectomy surgery, postoperative pain may occur, and its control should be well-managed. Inadequate pain control can lead to unwanted effects of postoperative pain. Regional analgesia techniques may be preferred for effective analgesic treatment after spinal surgery. Methods such as paravertebral block, erector spinae plane block (ESPB), thoracolumbar interfascial plane block are widely used for analgesia in spinal surgery. The effectiveness of these regional techniques may vary depending on various factors, one of which is BMI. The hypothesis in this study is that as BMI increases, the level of pain in patients may also increase. As a result, this study aims to investigate the relationship between BMI and postoperative pain levels in patients undergoing standard LDH surgery, anesthesia, and analgesia.
The aim is to quantify the fear of movement and quality of life of telephone education on lumbar disc herniation surgery.
This study is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial to compare whether applying cognitive intervention therapy before and after surgery in elderly patients aged 65 years or older undergoing non-cardiac surgery can reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium compared to conservative treatment.
The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the OsteoAdapt SP as a replacement for the autograft standard of care bone graft within the interbody cage, as well as identify the OsteoAdapt SP dose to be investigated in a future pivotal study.
Low back pain is the predominant cause of disability on a global scale. In the year 2015, the worldwide point prevalence of activity-limiting low back pain stood at 7·3%, suggesting that at any given moment, 540 million individuals were afflicted. In that same year, low back pain emerged as the primary cause of involuntary labor leave and premature retirement within Europe. In the United States, 44% of patients have utilized their health insurance for low back pain at least once, and 1 to 2% (approximately 3 million individuals) exhibit symptoms of sciatica as a result of a lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. Given the prevalence of disorders attributable to L4-L5 and L5-S1 intervertebral disc herniation, it is imperative to consider the potential risks associated with both surgical and non-surgical medical interventions, such as corticosteroid injections. Laser therapy emerges as a viable modality within the realm of physical therapy, particularly in the mitigation of inflammation. The modulating effects of laser therapy on inflammation have been documented, with no significant side effects reported thus far. Should the efficacy of laser therapy be substantiated, it could be incorporated into the suite of treatments endorsed by authoritative guidelines pertaining to back pain. Patients afflicted with radicular back pain have been the beneficiaries of assistance from physiotherapists possessing specialized knowledge in effective dosimetry. The objectives of this assistance include the amelioration of pain symptoms, the enhancement of functional indicators, the augmentation of the range of motion, and the modulation of the pressure pain threshold, all without the concern of side effects. Furthermore, adherence to the correct treatment protocol is of paramount importance. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of active high-power laser compared to sham laser on pain, disability, range of motion, and pressure pain threshold in patients with radicular low back pain due to lumbar intervertebral disc herniation.
The overall purpose of the study is to investigate whether selective spinal nerve root blocks can improve diagnostics of radiculopathy due to lumbar disc herniation (LDH), foraminal stenosis (FS), and recess stenosis (RS), and hence identify the patients that will benefit from surgical intervention.
Cervical spine problems are associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and related muscles.The aim of the present study was to investigate temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) and pain in individuals with cervical disc herniation (CDH) according to the level of neck disability.
This observational study collects clinical data as well as pathological reports from a patient with an intradural disc herniation, reports on the course of the patient's recovery through surgical treatment, summarizes the complications of this type of disease, and provides new ideas for improving the chances of preoperative diagnosis.
A case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Ankle Spine Syndrome or "RAFFET Syndrome II". This syndrome was reported in 6 patients (2 males and 4 females) out of 1000 patients with a history of chronic ankle injuries affecting their calf muscles' strength throughout the last 3 years. The patients suffered from unresolved CLBP with radiculopathy contralateral to their calf muscle atrophy (i.e., an ipsilateral calf muscle weakness induces contralateral lumbar radiculopathy) that did not respond to physical therapy or any medication for long.
This study aimed to examine the effects of vibration applied at different frequencies with a percussion massage gun on joint range of motion, pain, functionality and kinesiophobia in individuals with cervical disc herniation.All individuals participating in the study will receive a conventional treatment program. In the conventional treatment program, heat will be applied to the neck area for 20 minutes and TENS (100 Hz) will be applied to the painful area. Additionally, patients will be given joint range of motion (ROM) exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Vibration Group Vibration application will be applied to the individuals in this group in addition to conventional methods. Vibration application will be applied to the trapezius, levator scapula and cervical paravertebral muscles with a percussion massage gun (Compex Fix 2.0) along the origo-insersio line for 3 minutes for each muscle group. Vibration application will be made with the soft head of the percussion massage gun. Vibration therapy will be applied 3 days a week for 3 weeks.
