Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study was to compare standardized chiropractic treatment spinal manipulation to back surgery microdiscectomy for patients with sciatica secondary to lumbar herniated disc refractory to medical management
Detailed Description:
Context Operative management of lumbar radiculopathy caused by lumbar disc herniation LDH in patients refractory to medical management provides rapid and effective symptom relief However both short and long term benefits of surgery continue to be scrutinized
Objective To compare clinical efficacy of Chiropractic Treatment against Microdiscectomy in patients suffering from sciatica secondary to LDH
Study Design Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial allowing crossover recruitment 2000-2004 1 year follow-up
Setting Elective primary care physician referrals made directly to neurosurgical spine surgeons at the Foothills Hospital and Medical Centre University of Calgary
Patients Forty consecutive consenting patients with sciatica from LDH refractory to at least three months of non-operative care and found appropriate for surgery
Interventions Surgical microdiscectomy or standardized chiropractic treatment Crossover to the alternate treatment allowed after 3 months
Main Outcome Measures McGill Pain Score Roland Morris Disability Index Aberdeen Pain Scale and SF-36 General Health Survey before treatment initiation and after 3 6 12 24 and 52 weeks
