Filter by:Spinal mobilization methods are passive maneuvers that are made lighter and do not exceed the physiological range of motion in order to increase joint mobility. Mobilization applications are easier and safer than manipulation applications involving forceful pushing. Although there are many literatures reporting the therapeutic efficacy of long-term mobilization applications on LDH, there is no study on the effect of applications on radiological findings of LDH. In the light of the information mentioned above, the aim of this study is; To examine the effect of mobilization applications on radiological findings and functional level in patients with LDH
Background: The selection of primary outcomes that reflect the real symptoms and conditions of patients is instrumental in clinical studies on the effectiveness of specific treatment modalities. This study aimed to explore the appropriate outcomes that reflect the real-world needs and concerns of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and provide a basis for designing related clinical trials. Methods and Findings: This cross-sectional nationwide web-based survey study was conducted in South Korea in November 2022. Patients who were diagnosed with LDH and had LDH-related radiating leg pain were enrolled. The questionnaire consisted of 5 parts: basic characteristics, disease onset, symptom and severity, priority symptoms for improvement, and important factors in treatment. Overall, 500 patients (100 patients from the each age group) were enrolled.
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the efficacy of percutaneous intradiscal radiofrequency as a treatment for radicular pain from lumbar disc herniation. The main question it aims to answer is: • Can percutaneous intradiscal radiofrequency lower the severity of radicular pain from lumbar disc herniation Participants will be treated with percutaneous intradiscal radiofrequency and evaluated for radicular pain severity before and 3 months after the procedure. There is no comparison group.
The primary objective is to use machine learning methods on large survey and health register data to identify participants with different treatment trajectories and health outcomes after surgical and/or conservative treatment for spinal disorders. Secondary objectives are to 1) conduct external validation of the prediction models, and 2) explore how the prediction models can be implemented into AI-based clinical co-decision tools and interventions.
The study aims to study the effect of intraoperative epidural application of anesthetic cocktail following endoscopic lumbar discectomy in improving postoperative pain, length of hospital stay, time at first dose analgesia, post-operative opioid consumption, functional outcomes, time return to work, and postoperative complications
This study is a First in Human, prospective, multi-center clinical study intended to collect safety and performance information for the Spinal Stabilization Technologies PerQdisc® Nucleus Replacement System and procedure concurrently following a successful discectomy using a minimally invasive posterolateral (MIPL) approach. Patients that are at least 21 years or older, presenting with symptomatic radiculopathy from a focal lumbar disc herniation that requires surgical decompression will be included in this study.
Low back pain is one of the leading causes of disability and its social burden and economic cost are quite high. The lifetime prevalence in the population is frequently reported between 40% and 70%. Although there are many reasons that can lead to low back pain, radicular pain, which develops mostly secondary to lumbar disc hernia, is one of the most common pathologies. Epidural corticosteroid and local anesthetic injections are an important treatment option in the treatment of lumbar radicular pain that does not respond to conservative methods. epidural injections; includes transforaminal, interlaminar and caudal approaches. The advantage of the transforaminal approach is that it allows access to the anterior epidural area, which is the region of pathology, and that it can spread to the target specifically around the inflamed nerve roots. The standard imaging technology used for steroid injections with this approach is fluoroscopy. However, the aforementioned approaches carry the risk of dural puncture, epidural hematoma, epidural abscess, nerve damage, paralysis and many complications. In addition, radiation exposure is another problem. It may be possible to avoid a significant part of these risks by applying interfacial blocks used in regional anesthesia and postoperative pain control in the lumbar region. Recently, Erector Spina Plan Block (ESPB), an interfascial block technique, has been frequently applied under ultrasound (US) guidance as an alternative method to conventional paravertebral block. Investigators also frequently refer to this procedure in the clinic for patients with lumbar radicular pain. In the literature, there are case reports of lumbar ESPB applied to patients with radicular pain due to disc herniation. Beyond case-level reports, there is no clinical study investigating the efficacy of this procedure technique for applications in the lumbar region. Starting from here, the aim of this study is; Investigators determined to compare the efficacy of erector spina plane block and transforaminal anterior epidural steroid injections in patients with radicular pain due to lumbar disc herniation.
In anterior cervical disc surgery, head and neck extansion position and, surgical retraction used while reaching the anterior surface of the cervical vertebra can be affect the carotid blood flow and constituting a risk for cerebral ischaemia. In this study, we planned to investigate the relationship between head position and retraction, cerebral oxygenation and postoperative cognitive functions in patients undergoing anterior cervical disc surgery.
Surgical treatment is applied in 15% of individuals diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of Su Jok application, which is one of the non-drug methods, in reducing or completely eliminating pain and anxiety after lumbar disc surgery and increasing the quality of recovery.The universe of the study, between November 2022 and June 2023, Istanbul Kartal Dr. Patients with lumbar disc surgery will be recruited in the Neurosurgery Clinic of Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital. Data will be obtained with Introductory Information Form, McGill Pain Scale Short Form (SF-MPQ), Visual Analog Scale (Visual Comparison Scale) (VAS), STAII State Anxiety Scale, Quality of Recovery Questionnaire (QOR-40). The individual who will undergo lumbar disc surgery will be visited in the clinic one day before the surgery and will be informed about the study. The sampled individuals will be included in the intervention and control groups using a random number table created with MS Excel software. Su Jok will be applied to the patients included in the intervention group at the third hour after the operation. Before the application, Quality of Recovery Questionnaire (QOR-40), McGill Pain Scale Short Form and STAII State Anxiety Scale will be administered. After the application, the pain levels of the patients will be re-evaluated with the Visual Analogue Scale (Visual Comparison Scale) (VAS) and their anxiety levels will be re-evaluated with the STAII State Anxiety Scale. On the first and second days after the surgery, the patients will be visited again in the clinic and the Quality of Healing Questionnaire (QOR-40), Visual Analog Scale (Visual Comparison Scale) (VAS) and STAII State Anxiety Scales will be administered before the Su Jok application, and then the Su Jok application will be repeated.After the application, the pain levels of the patients will be re-evaluated with the Visual Analogue Scale (Visual Comparison Scale) (VAS) and their anxiety levels will be re-evaluated with the STAII State Anxiety Scale. Patients will be interviewed again at the control appointment 10 days after discharge, and their quality of recovery will be determined using the Quality of Healing Questionnaire (QOR-40). In the control group, pain, anxiety and healing quality levels will be determined in the same periods without any application.
This study will comprehensively evaluate the outcomes and endpoints of these two different FDA-approved artificial disc implants used to treat cervical spondylotic myelopathy and/or radiculopathy today: Biomet Zimmer Mobi-C and Nuvasive Simplify. Both implants are structurally different with the Nuvasive Simplify implementing a three-piece design with two endplates and a semi-constrained mobile core while the Biomet Zimmer Mobi-C implements an unconstrained three piece design. Subjects will be age-matched and randomly assigned to either implant with informed consent. All subjects will undergo a variety of assessments that evaluate neck disability, quality of life, pain, physiological outcome (radiographic assessments), and neck range-of motion before and after their procedure. One baseline testing will be conducted along with three post-operation visits (three months, six months, and one year) in accordance to standard follow-up procedure. Thus, the duration of participation in the study will be approximately one and a half years.
