Brief Summary:
Erector Spinae Plane Block is an effective pain therapy technique to relieve chronic low back pain in cases of degenerative disc disorders.
Detailed Description:
This study will be conducted on 40 adult patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine and admitted to the Neurosurgery Department at Alexandria Main University Hospital aged between 30 and 65 years old with Visual analog scale more than or equal to 4 not responding to conservative treatment, patients having grade 0, 1 or 2 lumbar disc degeneration without disc bulge or prolapse by X-ray and MRI with loss or decreased lumbar lordosis, patients with black disc and contained disc bulge on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and patients with grade I degenerative spondylolisthesis provided that the canal dimensions are normal or with mild stenosis. Patients with severe sciatic pain, patients with more than two levels of DDD of the lumbar region or with isthmic spondylolisthesis and high-grade instability, or patients with disc fragments encroaching upon the exit foramina and nerve root or with severe canal stenosis, also those with central obesity, recurrent disc prolapse or with previous abdominal surgery were excluded from the study. Steroid injection will avoided in patients with immunosuppression or uncontrolled diabetes.
Both a full history taking and a clinical examination will be completed. All patients underwent an MRI of the lumbar region for evaluation. Routine laboratory and other lab investigations will conducted.
