BACKGROUND Clinical examination of patients with chronic lumbar radiculopathy aims to clarify whether there is nerve root impingement. The aims of this study were to investigate the association between findings at clinical examination and nerve root impingement, to evaluate the accuracy of clinical index tests in a specialised care setting, and to see whether imaging clarifies the cause of chro...

Selective Nerve Root Block (SNRB) is a precise local injection technique that can be utilised to target particular inflamed nerve root causing lumbar radiculopathy for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Usually, SNRB therapeutic, combination of anaesthetic agent steroid injected under imaging guidance, whereas purposes, just the injected. While ideal treatment strategy relieve from its c...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether a change in apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value could predict early response to CT-guided Oxygen-Ozone (O2-O3) injection therapy in patients with unilateral mono-radiculopathy due to lumbar disc herniation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 52 patients with unilateral mono-radiculopathy received a single intradiscal (3 mL) and periganglionic (5 mL) injecti...

Neck pain is almost universal and is a common patient complaint. Although the differential diagnosis is extensive, most symptoms are from biomechanical sources, such as axial neck pain, whiplash-associated disorder (WAD), and radiculopathy. Most symptoms abate quickly with little intervention. There is relatively little high-quality treatment evidence available, and no consensus on management o...

OBJECTIVES Cervical radiculopathy is widespread in society, and the methods used in the treatment cover a wide range from conservative treatment to surgical treatment. There is not yet a full consensus on the use of invasive approaches for the optimal treatment of radicular pain. However, cervical epidural steroid injection (CESI) has been used in patients with symptoms of cervical discopathy. ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the occurrence of symptomatic and asymptomatic root compression caused by herniated discs and spondylotic foraminal stenosis by MRI in patients with recent onset cervical radiculopathy. PARTICIPANTS 78 patients with symptoms and signs of cervical radiculopathy of less than one month's duration. METHODS The authors determined the clinically suspected level of root comp...

Lumbar radiculopathy is one of the most common diseases of modern civilisation. Multimodal pain management (MPM) represents a central approach to avoiding surgery. Only few medium-term results have been published in the literature so far. This study compared subjective and objective as well as anamnestic and clinical parameters of 60 patients who had undergone inpatient MPM because of lumbar ra...
