Brief Summary:
Transforaminal epidural steroid injection TFESE is an interventional method frequently used in the treatment of radicular pain due to disc herniation TFESE which is applied under sterile conditions and under fluoroscopy guidance increases its effectiveness when applied in the early period first 3 months Inflammation and increase in neurotransmitters in the nerve root due to disc herniation trigger pain Steroids and local anesthetics applied to the nerve root with TFESE exhibit strong anti-inflammatory effects Factors affecting the success of TFESE include the type and dose of drugs the age of the patient any accompanying comorbidities the level of injection administered and other musculoskeletal problems Studies on the effect of these parameters on the effectiveness of TFESE are limitedCardiac arrhythmia muscle spasms tetany fasciculation paresthesia widespread body pain impaired bone mineralization electrolyte disorders such as hypokalemia hypocalcemia hypophosphatemia depression and seizures may occur due to magnesium deficiency One of the most important causes of low back pain is degenerative disc disease and magnesium deficiency has been shown to be associated with low back pain
Detailed Description:
The study will be conducted by retrospectively scanning the files of patients with paracentralsubarticular protruded disc herniation and who underwent transforaminal epidural steroid injection TFESE to the lumbosacral region at the Algology Department of Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Training and Research Hospital between January 2022 and January 2024 In order to prevent heterogeneity magnetic resonance imaging MRI of the patients will be evaluated in consultation with a radiologist The common consensus classification created by the American Society of Spine Radiology ASSR American Society of Neuroradiology ASNR and North American Spine Society NASS is used to classify disc herniations will be used Numeric Rating Scale-11 NRS and Oswestry Disability Index ODI will be recorded from the patients files before the procedure in the first month and in the third month to evaluate age gender symptom duration pain and functionality The initial pain severity of the patients will be determined by the NRS-11 score and a decrease of 50 or more in the NRS-11 score in the first month after the procedure will be considered as benefiting from the treatment The Mg level of the patients before the procedure will be scanned in the hospital system and those that can be accessed will be recorded
