Summary

This study followed 50 people with chronic low back pain for 10 years after they had a procedure that punctured a spinal disc. Researchers used MRI scans to check if the punctured disc wore out faster than expected. The main goal was to see if the puncture itself caused extra damage. Results suggest that the procedure does not speed up disc degeneration over a decade.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients eligible for early intradiscal procedures included those with low back pain (NRS \> 5) caused by discogenic pain due to disc degeneration or radicular pain due to disc protrusion and subsequent nerve root compression. All patients were required to have been resistant to conservative therapy. Diagnoses were based on patient history, physical examination, imaging studies, and, in some cases, provocative discography if discogenic pain could not otherwise be clearly identified. Exclusion Criteria: * • Perioperative complications. * Post-interventional lumbar spine surgery in the region to be examined. * Contraindications for a repeated MRI. * Metastases or infection of the spine since surgery. * Spinal canal stenosis. * A diagnosis of anxiety disorder, depression, or somatoform disorder since surgery, based on their medical history.
