Filter by:Sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGS), is a form of manual therapy, involved a combination of a sustained facet glide with active motion, followed by overpressure. Natural apophseal glides (NAGS), a modification of SNAGS, involves a mid to end-range facet joint mobilisation applied anterocranially or posterioanteriorly along the plane of treatment, combined with a small amount of manual traction which increases movement within the spine, and decreases symptomatic pain . A study reported that Natural Apophyseal Glides (NAGS) and Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAGS) demonstrated significant effects in reducing pain and disability in subjects with chronic neck pain . This technique, SNAGS, is however an evolving manual therapy techniques which its effectiveness has not been thoroughly investigated in cervical radiculopathy treatment raised author's curiosity to compare and document efficacy of SNAGS with cervical traction in Nigeria since comparative studies evaluating SNAGS and manual cervical traction relative efficacies among Nigerians are yet to be documented if at all available. Consequently, the quest is to look for a quicker and a better way of relieving cervical radiculopathy in this environment . The more reason why we have to compare it with a conventional mechanical traction.
Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injection is helpful for the treatment of lumbosacral radicular pain. Tunnel view technique is the basis of X-ray assisted intervention. In this technique, it is necessary to handle the block needle in order to adjust the direction of needle to the tunnel view toward target. If a mirror is used during needle handling, overall procedure time and radiation exposure can be reduced.
Background & Purpose: Cervical radiculopathy is a neurological disorder, which commonly results because of nerve compression. There are different types of physical therapy interventions that are used for cervical radiculopathy. The evidence of effectiveness of manual therapy in cervical radiculopathy is still limited. Short-term hypoalgesic effects after manual therapy was found in different musculoskeletal conditions. However, the effectiveness of manual therapy in patients with cervical radiculopathy hasn't been investigated yet. Therefore, the aim of study is to examine the short-term effect of manual therapy (mobilization) on the sensory features in patients with chronic cervical radiculopathy.
Lumbar disc herniation is the most important and frequent affection in rheumatology. The first treatment is based on an non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.Physiotherapy also is used.But when there is no efficient result, it's usual to propose to the patient corticoid injection, percutaneous intervention or arthrodesis. Recently DISCOGEL® is a medical device used for lumbar disc herniation. However there is no studies evaluating the benefit and the efficiency of this technic. Since a few years, the rheumatology service of GHPSJ practise this technic using DISCOGEL® with patient resistant to the medical treatment . So the aim is to evaluate the benefit of DISCOGEL® retrospectively.
Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Injection is helpful for the treatment of lumbosacral radicular pain. But needle handling during the procedure may cause pain and discomfort to the patient. At the local skin anesthesia step, local anesthetics injection to the muscle layer along the needle pathway as well as the subcutaneous layer may reduce the procedural pain. In addition, it can reduce the injection site pain that may occur after the procedure.
The five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) has been used in many medical disciplines, but has never been correlated with or validated in regard to degenerative spinal diseases. The investigators aim to assess the possibility of using the standardized 5R-STS as an objective measure of functional impairment and pain severity in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal diseases.
This study evaluates the incidence of intravascular injection during cervical transforaminal epidural block using blunt needle, compared to the sharp needle. The investigators will performed cervical transforaminal epidural block using blunt-type block needle in half of participants or sharp-type block needle in the other half.
Treatment of chronic low-back pain with low-dose naltrexone and acetaminophen combination: a small, randomized, double-Blind, and placebo-controlled clinical trial with an open-label extension for none-responders
The purpose of this study is to determine if light sedation with spinal anesthesia reduces the incidence of delirium compared to receiving general anesthesia during spinal surgery in older adults.
This is a trial to validate the use of the STarT Back Screening Tool (SBST) in the Military Health System for patients with low back pain presenting to primary care.
