There is increasing interest in the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of sciatica and whether these could be potential targets for treatment. We sought to investigate serum biomarker levels in patients with low back-related leg pain, including This systematic review focusses on inflammation as an underlying pathogenic mechanism in sciatica. We addressed two questions in particular: (1) what inflammatory biomarkers have been identified in patients with sciatica in the literature so far? 2) is there an association between the One of the most treatable causes of lower back pain and associated sciatica is lumbar disc herniation (LDH), which is characterized by rupture of the hard outer wall (annulus fibrosis) in a lumbar intervertebral disc. In the current study, we aimed to: (1) develop and characterize a rat model of
Retrospective observational histological study.To evaluate the reliability of gadolinium enhancement as a marker for inflammation by associating gadolinium enhancement findings with the degree of inflammation as measured by macrophage infiltration in disc The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying sciatica and back pain are not well understood. In the present study, a sciatica model was developed to investigate the contributions of inflammation and compression of the dorsal root (DR). The procedure used autologous disc to apply direct pressure to
METHODS
Systematic review and meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on pain reduction, overall improvement, and reported adverse effects in people with sciatica.
BACKGROUND
NSAIDs are one of the most frequently prescribed drugs for
A 73-year-old woman with chronic tophaceous gout presented with acute right-sided sciatica. Conventional radiology and CT scan of the lumbar spine revealed severe degenerative changes at the level of L3/4 and L4/5 disc and tophaceous deposits around the facet joints bilaterally. Investigations
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most frequently prescribed drugs for the treatment of sciatica. A previous Cochrane review on the efficacy of NSAIDs summarised findings for acute and chronic low back pain (LBP) and sciatica. This is an update of the original review
BACKGROUND
Routine lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may not show any evidence of the cause of sciatica in some cases. The relationship between nerve root compression detected on lumbar MRI and sciatica is also sometimes uncertain.
OBJECTIVE
To ascertain whether axial (and, when
Few controlled trials have been carried out with non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs in this indication, mainly as a result of methodological difficulties. A prerequisite for correct evaluation is compliance with certain fundamental principles. The study must be controlled (i.e. comparative,
OBJECTIVE
Limaprost, a prostaglandin E1 analog, has vasodilatory properties and increases blood flow of the nerve root. However, it has not been clarified whether limaprost affects pain sensation associated with radiculopathy due to lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). The aim of this study was to compare
