Evaluation of the L2 spinal nerve root infiltration as a diagnostic tool for discogenic low back pain.
BACKGROUND To assess whether unilateral L2 infiltration with local anesthetic can be used to identify patients who will have negative discograms and thus eliminate the need for the discogram. Discogenic low-back pain is considered to have afferent pathways in the sinuvertebral nerves, mainly originating from the ventral rami of the spinal nerves. There is evidence that pain arising from the low...
متن کاملThe afferent pathways of discogenic low-back pain. Evaluation of L2 spinal nerve infiltration.
The afferent pathways of discogenic low-back pain have not been fully investigated. We hypothesised that this pain was transmitted mainly by sympathetic afferent fibres in the L2 nerve root, and in 33 patients we used selective local anaesthesia of this nerve. Low-back pain disappeared or significantly decreased in all patients after the injection. Needle insertion provoked pain which radiated ...
متن کاملDiscogenic low back pain.
Most lumbar disk herniations improve over time with or without medical treatment. Disk herniations and annular tears may not be symptomatic and are shown to exist in patients without any symptoms. In some patients, chronic low back pain may result from the syndrome of internal disk disruption. Treatment of chronic pain of diskal cause can be challenging and have varying results in terms of succ...
متن کامل[The pathogenesis of discogenic low back pain].
OBJECTIVE To study the pathogenesis of the pain of discography and the discogenic low back pain. METHODS 19 specimens of lumbar intervertebral discs from 17 patients with discogenic low back pain during posterior lumbar interbody fusion, and 12 physiologically aging discs and 10 normal control discs were collected to investigate the morphologic features and innervation containing neuropeptide...
متن کاملClinical diagnosis for discogenic low back pain
Discogenic lower back pain (DLBP) is the most common type of chronic lower back pain (LBP), accounting for 39% of cases, compared to 30% of cases due to disc herniation, and even lower prevalence rates for other causes, such as zygapophysial joint pain. Only a small proportion (approximately 20%) of LBP cases can be attributed with reasonable certainty to a pathologic or anatomical entity. Thus...
