The study aims to demonstrate that ITM significantly reduces intraoperative pain intensity during PELD, improving overall patient satisfaction and postoperative recovery.
The expected outcomes include reduced pain levels, improved understanding of pain mechanisms, enhanced coping strategies, and measurable changes in BDNF levels, indicating positive brain plasticity changes.
The study highlights the need for early detection and management of sciatic nerve neuropathy to improve post-operative outcomes and reduce chronic pain syndromes.
All studies reported statistically significant improvements in pain levels among participants engaged in visual arts activities, indicating a positive impact on pain management and psychosocial well-being.
The intervention resulted in immediate pain and stiffness reduction, sustained pain relief over 14 days, and improved recovery perception compared to placebo.
The study aims to identify predictors of a positive response to prednisone treatment, with expectations of improved pain and function in patients with acute sciatic pain.
Patients who could walk for extended periods before pain worsened and those whose pain was consistent throughout the day showed significant improvement in the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) after SCS.
The intervention led to significant reductions in pain intensity (mean difference 3.5, p < 0.001) and disability (mean difference 8.2, p < 0.001), as well as improvements in overall well-being (mean difference 13.7, p < 0.001) compared to standard care.
