The clinical symptoms of Lumbar Disc Herniation (LDH) can be effectively ameliorated through Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT), which is closely linked to the brain's pain-regulating mechanisms. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers an objective and visual means to study how the brain orchestrates the characteristics of analgesic effects. From the perspective of multimodal MRI, the investigators applied functional MRI (fMRI) and Magnetic Resonance Spectrum (MRS) techniques to comprehensively evaluate the characteristics of the effects of SMT on the brain region of LDH from the aspects of brain structure, brain function and brain metabolism. This multimodal MRI technique provides a biological basis for the clinical application of SMT in LDH.
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.
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 order to further investigate the key brain targets and central response mechanism characteristics of analgesia, the dominant disease of LDH was taken as the object of this study, which was divided into operation group, comfort group and healthy subjects group. Firstly, DTI probabilistic tracking method was used to detect the changes of the brain white matter in each group. Then, the low-frequency amplitude (mfalff) and local consistency (ReHo) of each group were compared by fMRI scanning imaging technology, and the features of local brain functional connectivity (FC) of pain matrix related brain regions as seed points were analyzed. Finally, MRS Technique was used to detect the brain signals of related metabolites glutamic acid (Glu) and 1-aminobutyric acid (GABA), so as to elucidate the network regulation of lever-positioning operation on the analgesic brain effect of LDH and the biochemical mechanism of central nervous system. This multimodal MRI technique provides biological basis for the clinical application of lever localization in LDH.
This is pilot study for a 3-arm parallel pragmatic randomized controlled trial that will compare pharmacopuncture therapy, acupunture therapy and physical therapy, medication(prn) for cervical disc herniation.
The aim of the study is to investigate serum cytokine levels and the efficacy of lumbar stabilization exercises in patients with lumbar disc herniation with and without neurological deficits. Patients who applied to Hacettepe University Hospitals Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department with low back pain complaints and were referred for treatment will be included in the study.
The proposed investigation is a multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled comparison of the BAGUERA®C to the control, a similar, legally marketed total disc replacement device in subjects with symptomatic cervical disc disease (SCDD) at two contiguous levels. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the two-level BAGUERA®C Cervical Disc Prosthesis (investigational group) or to the two-level Mobi-C® Cervical Disc (control group). Subjects enrolled in the study will be evaluated pre-operatively, at the time of surgery, discharge, and at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months and then annually until 7 years post-surgery.
This study includes one type of product named C-CURVE which is a Stand-alone Cervical Interbody Cage. This product is available in two materials: PEEK and Titanium. The C-Curve Cervical Interbody Devices is one single implant used for insertion between two adjacent vertebrae (cervical spine). C-Curve has been designed to restore and/or maintain adequate interbody height, and thus help stabilize one or more cervical levels while fusion occurs. This system has also as objectives to increase of the quality of life, decrease patient's pain and decrease a potential dysphagia (clinical performances). This system must only be used in the cervical spine. This post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study aims to confirm the acceptable benefits/risk profile of the device for the patients and to fill essential requirements to maintain the CE mark through a clinical evaluation.
