Filter by:Decompression therapy is a result-oriented approach but it expensive and minimum availability in Pakistan. In physical therapy, we use different exercises to solve multiple spine problems. Some exercises used to treat orthogenic components such as mobilization, manipulation, SNAGS, and traction. Some exercises used to treat myogenic components such as muscle energy technique, neuromuscular reeducation, active isolated stretch, etc. Some exercises used to treat neurogenic components such as Neurodynamics, Active release technique, etc. As we know the fascia is an important component in our body most of the time the fascia restriction makes the patient condition verse. A researcher introduced the systems of exercise more the 35 years ago which works especially on the spine at every intervertebral level including costal and pelvic articulation. These exercises are called Elongation Longitudinaux Avec Decoaption Osteo-Articulaire (ELDOA) or simply Longitudinal Osteo-Articular De-coaptation Stretching (LOADS). It can be described as a fascial stretch that's localized tension at the level of a specific spinal segment and create decompression. In which he combined improving the tone of the intrinsic muscles of the spine along with reinforcing the extrinsic muscles related to the spine aim the back and stretching the interlinking paraspinal muscles. ELDOA exercise is designed for every level of the spine from the base of the skull to the sacroiliac joint. In each ELDOA exercise, we create fascial tension above and below the joint or disc that one is trying to "open up" or decompress. The outcomes include; Release vertebral compression, improved blood circulation, Disc re-hydration, improve muscle tone, and awareness. One of my studies also proved that ELDOA Exercises improve the pain and functional level in spinal disc protrusion patients.
In this study, compare the effects of Cyriax manipulation and Decompression in patient with lumber disc prolapseThis research will provide an important addition to the evidence based treatment intervention in physical therapy in the field of manipulation as there is no such research work have been done on comparative study of cyriax manipulation and decompression in lumber disc protrusion.
This study will compare the quality of analgesia and reduction of opioid use, between standard of care and two groups of local anesthetic blocks in different location in the quadratus lumborum plane, for postoperative pain control after lumbar spinal fusion and if it reduces opioid consumption.
High blood pressure is a serious and common health problem. This disease affects 1 billion people all over the world and responsible for 7,1 million deaths. Trials involving more than 1 million people state that stroke incidence rises as blood pressure rises. The effects of high blood pressure on cerebral perfusion is not well realized. Intraoperative blood pressure management of patients with high blood pressure is not well known. And it is still not clear how autoregulation of cerebral perfusion is affected by high blood pressure. Systemic arterial pressure changes have little effect on cerebral perfusion. This is regulated by changes of precapillary resistance. When systemic arterial blood pressure drops, it is regulated by vasodilatation of arteriolar smooth muscles. And when systemic blood pressure rises, it is regulated by vasoconstriction of arterioles. Cerebral perfusion is well preserved between 50-125 mmHg changes of mean arterial blood pressure (MAP). Patients with high blood pressure have higher ranges. Patients with chronic high blood pressure can better tolerate higher blood pressures. But even physiologic drops of systemic blood pressure can cause ischemia. Anesthetic drugs have variable effects on cerebral blood flow and physiology. The drugs used with anesthetic drugs, the noxious stimulus of surgery, intracranial compliance, blood pressure, and carbon dioxide pressure can all alter and complicate these effects. Anesthetic drugs must be selected carefully in patients with high blood pressure. It is still investigated whether, management of blood pressure under anesthesia, should be individualized. For patients with high blood pressure, some neuromonitorization technics have been evaluated to prevent neurologic complications under anesthesia. But there is not a technic, which is considered as a gold standard. Cerebral blood pressure has been studied by, nitrous oxide method, krypton uptake method, and xenon injection methods previously. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is the best monitorization technic of intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and cerebral metabolism. But it can not be applied to all patients. Recently, it is possible to measure blood flow of cerebrum with transcranial Doppler ultrasound in anesthesia practice. In this trial, the investigators aim to evaluate cerebral perfusion of hypertensive patients with transcranial Doppler during lumbar disc surgery to optimize the blood pressure under anesthesia. To best of our knowledge, there is no trial evaluating cerebral perfusion of hypertensive patients with transcranial Doppler ultrasound.
The aim of this study was to determine the Turkish validity and reliability of Lumbar Spine Surgery Expectations Survey developed by Mancuso.
Rationale: Treatment with transforaminal epidural injections is part of usual care in patients suffering from lumbar radiculopathy. However, not all patients experience a satisfactory result from this treatment and it is unclear what percentage of patients responds well and if any clinical or radiological factors exist that predict a positive response. Objectives: Primary: to develop a model based on demographic, clinical and radiological parameters for prediction of treatment success after TEI Secondary: to estimate the short-term efficacy of TEI in patients with LDH and spinal stenosis based on pain, functionality and perceived recovery scores, to determine the correlation between clinical and radiological baseline parameters and physical and psychological patient outcome measures, to determine the rate of additional injections and rate of surgery after treatment with TEI, to determine the short-term (cost)effectiveness of TEI on physical and psychological patient outcome measures, and to determine the rate of complications associated with TEI Study design: Prospective cohort study Study population: Patients that are scheduled for TEI as part of usual care suffering from a new episode of lumbar radiculopathy Main study parameters/endpoints: leg and back pain scores at baseline, 30 minutes, 2 and 6 weeks after treatment. ODI, HADS, Quality of Life and PCI at baseline, 2 and 6 weeks after treatment. Perceived recovery at 2 and 6 weeks after treatment. Usage of healthcare at baseline, 2 and 6 weeks after treatment.
97 patients in 3 randomized groups were treated by Microdiscectomy for lumbar disc herniation; Group A was operated at 6 weeks of symptoms, Group B at 3 months and group C at 6 months. These patients were followed for 3 years for the clinical and functional outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a Zhineng Qigong intervention for patients with chronic low back pain and/or leg pain, and to test feasibility aspects.
Acute postoperative pain begins with surgical trauma and decreases with tissue healing. Untreatable postoperative pain is one of the most important problems due to the increase in respiratory, cardiac and thromboembolic complications. Lumber disc surgery is widely performed, and patients often complain of postoperative pain. Preventing and managing postoperative pain after lumber disc surgery is very important for anesthetists. For this purpose, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, intravenous opioids, preemptive analgesia methods, intravenous patient controlled analgesia methods and regional anesthesia techniques are used within the multimodal analgesia strategy. Regional anesthesia techniques are becoming increasingly widespread due to their efficiency and increased applicability thanks to the use of ultrasonography. Regional anesthesia techniques used in lumber disc surgery include paravertebral block, local anesthetic infiltration, epidural analgesia, and erector spina plan block and modified thoracolumbar interfacial plan block in recent years. The erector spina plane block was first described in 2016, and the thoracolumbar interfacial plane block in 2015, and its modification was developed in 2017. Although they vary depending on the level of application, they offer analgesic activity in a wide range. Although there are publications about the use of these blocks for postoperative analgesia after lumber surgeries, which block is more effective has not been investigated. This study may contribute to the development of new options for pain management after lumber disc surgery by comparing erector spina plane block and modified thoracolumbar interfacial plane block, which have recently been used for postoperative pain treatment, with limited research, with each other and the standard technique, intravenous patient controlled analgesia, can add new applications to multimodal analgesia methods, increase patient satisfaction and contribute to the early recovery process. The objective is to compare the erector spina plane block and modified thoracolumbar interfacial plane block in patients undergoing lumber disc surgery with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia in terms of analgesic efficacy. Hypothesis The erector spina plane block and modified thoracolumbar interfacial plane block may decrease the postoperative pain scores, opioid consumption and time to first analgesic requirement compared with intravenous patient controlled analgesia.
