Such is the case with Philippe Chemaly, DO, MPH, a physiatrist. Already tried everything without success? When there is irritation or pressure on this nerve (from a herniated disc for example), it is called sciatica, and causes many different symptoms. Patients underwent a single intradiscal injection of combined HA derivative and AT-MSCs at a dose of 2107 cells/disc (n=5) or 4107 cells/disc (n=5). Ong et al (2016) stated that open discectomy remains the standard of treatment for patients with lumbar radicular pain secondary to a prolapsed intervertebral disc. Endres SM, Fiedler GA, Larson KL. Participants were 42 patients with LDH who underwent intradiscal condoliase injection. A multicenter randomized controlled trial on the efficacy of intradiscal methylene blue injection for chronic discogenic low back pain: The IMBI study. There are no randomized studies of its effectiveness, no animal research regarding the long term effects of disc heating, and no evidence of long-term safety. But then again everything is better than surgery it seems. Idk. Other outcome measures were improvement of psychological status, reduction in opioid intake, and return to work. Spine. Percutaneous disc decompression. One should note that positive results, similar to IDET, were reported in uncontrolled cohort studies of a similar procedure, percutaneous intradiscal radiofrequency thermocoagulation (PIRFT), also known as percutaneous radiofrequency thermomodulation. 2007;149(5):495-500; discussion 500. The inclusion of patients was therefore discontinued. Indications, techniques and evidence levels. "I warn them, 'If we do try this and you experience pain, we'll stop. First, although silk materials have numerous excellent biological and physical properties, they still cannot meet the requirements of human musculoskeletal system regeneration. Proponents believe that IDET works best when the painful disc has not collapsed more than 50 %. ", A technology assessment by the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement (2002) concluded as follows: "There is no convincing evidence that shows the short or long-term clinical efficacy of this procedure. 2016;16(1):111-126. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. These findings need to be confirmed by well designed controlled clinical studies. Interventional techniques: Evidence-based practice guidelines in the management of chronic spinal pain. No major AEs occurred in either treatment group. 2017;18(4):751-763. Chin Med J (Engl). Available at: http://www.nucleoplasty.com/dph/information/disc_decompression_white_paper.pdf. Our patients have been in your shoes. The Nerve & Disc Institutes IntraDiscNutrosis (using DiscLogix) treatment program is a medical breakthrough for people suffering from bulging discs, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, stenosis, sciatica, and other disc-related symptoms. Daste C, Laclau S, Boisson M, et al. If you have some feedback on this institute or anything at all really that could help, please comment. The authors concluded that these findings suggested that IDB is safe and effective; and indicated that IDB may fill an important niche as a minimally-invasive therapy to treat discogenic LBP in carefully selected patients. Asample aliquot of BMC was characterized by flow cytometry and colony-forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) assay to determine progenitor cell content. /*margin-bottom: 43px;*/ Of these, there was 1 randomized trial and 14 observational studies meeting inclusion criteria for methodological quality assessment. McCormick ZL, Choi H, Reddy R, et al. IDET Information. Does VAX-D really work? At 6-months patients in the CMM-alone group were eligible for cross-over if desired. The investigators identified 6 studies that met inclusion criteria, involving a total of 283 patients. The level of evidence is lacking with Level III. Allan E. Dyer, MD, PhD, who developed VAX-D, explains how the treatment "fixes" herniated disks, a frequent cause of lower back pain: "Your bones are separated by a cushion. In anarrative review, Helm et al (2009)evaluated the effectiveness of thermal annular procedures (TAPs) in reducing LBP in patients with intradiscal disorders. Clinical Policy Bulletins are developed by Aetna to assist in administering plan benefits and constitute neither offers of coverage nor medical advice. This is a small, short-term single-institutional study involving the private practice of a single investigator. BMC Musculoskelet Disord. No severe AEs (SAEs) were reported during a 12-month follow up period with no incidences of infection. The authors stated that taking into account of the afore-mentioned drawbacks and in the light of these preliminary data, they stated that a RCT is considered imperative. 2005;(3):CD001352. Since 2 RCTs are in progress on that procedure, assessment of biacuplasty may change upon publication of those studies. Nguyen C, Boutron I, Baron G, et al. Live/Registered. Intradiscal electrothermal therapy for chronic discogenic back pain -- horizon scanning review. those with a contained lumbar disc herniation (CLDH) (n = 12). 2009;145(3):279-286. Instead, IntraDiscNutrsosis combines multiple therapies into a unique treatment protocol, likely unlike anything youve tried before. The authors concluded that patients were pleased with the treatment results. However, this acellular matrix-based strategy has certain limitations, especially in elderly patients, whose tissues have low self-repair ability. Dyer tells his patients to engage only in walking during the month-long recovery process. Our IntraDiscNutrosis is a medical breakthrough for treating sciatica, bulging disc, herniated disc or degenerative discs and serious disc-related symptoms without surgery. All randomly assigned patients were included in the primary efficacy analysis. After 2 weeks, it was reduced to 3.2 0.6 (p < 0.001) and finally dropped to 2.0 0.6 6 months after intervention (p = 0.0001). Percutaneous intradiscal radiofrequency thermocoagulation for chronic discogenic low back pain. Itcould be an alternative to procedures like fusion or disc replacement. Pain Med. Because the patient has failed conservative treatments with oral analgesics and selective left L5 nerve root block, he requested intradiscal condoliase injection instead of revision surgery. Boswell M, Trescot A, Datta S, et al. Any case studies, results, endorsements, or testimonials presented on this page reflect the personal experience and opinions of the individual patient and do not prove our treatment works. 2001;14(4):353-360. Ottawa, ON: CCOHTA; April 2003. Decision memo for thermal intradiscal procedures (CAG-00387N). Some clinics say, 'Let's go for it.' Int J Spine Surg. "Younger patients do better. 2015;55(10):868-877. Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for facet-mediated neck and back pain. Since 2 RCTs are in progress on that procedure, assessment of biacuplasty may change upon publication of those studies. Intradiscal platelet-rich plasma injection for chronic discogenic low back pain: Preliminary results from a prospective trial. Azulay N, Forgerit M, Alava EG, et al. Acutherm uses a shorter catheter than is utilized with IDET. For pain assessment evaluation, the VAS was used. The lack of long-term and comparative data also makes it difficult to distinguish between the treatment effect and the natural history of the disease, as well as determine whether the benefits of this procedure are sustained beyond 12 months.". It contained no control group. J Spinal Disord Tech. The authors stated that a limitation of this study was the 1-way cross-over option, from IAS to C-RFA, but not vice versa. "The practitioner needs to be a good clinical observer.". "With VAX-D, there is no substitution for good physical therapy. The authors concluded that intradiscal O2-O3 chemonucleolysis for single-level lumbar disc herniations unresponsive to medical management, met the non-inferiority criteria to microdiscectomy on 6-month mean leg pain improvement. Because of unanswered questions about the durability of results and generalization of these findings, this single study is not sufficient to draw conclusions about the effect of IDET on health outcomes. Kallewaard et al (2010) noted that various interventional treatment strategies for chronic discogenic LBP unresponsive to conservative care include reduction of inflammation, ablation of intradiscal nociceptors, lowering intra-nuclear pressure, removal of herniated nucleus, and radiofrequency ablation of the nociceptors. As for Reiner, he's convinced he's made the right choice. Kwak and Chang (2018) stated that despite medication, exercise, and medical intervention, many patients complain of persistent discogenic neck pain. Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET), also known as intradiscal electrothermal annuloplasty (IDTA) or IEA, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a catheter and a flexible electrode that is inserted into the affected disc in order to heat the entire posterior edge of the annulus. 2019;32(2):113-119. First, the sample size was small (n = 14); thus, an increased number of patients would be needed for the effectiveness estimation of PRPr treatment. In all procedures, NRS and ODI scores were significantly decreased over time. Papadopoulos D, Batistaki C, Kostopanagiotou G. Comparison of the efficacy between intradiscal gelified ethanol (Discogel) injection and intradiscal combination of pulsed radiofrequency and gelified ethanol (Discogel) injection for chronic discogenic low back pain treatment. Two randomized controlled trials provided evidence of no benefit to health outcomes and one randomized controlled trial failed to demonstrate confidence of any benefit to the Medicare population. Levi D, Horn S, Tyszko S, et al. Huggins CE. Visual analog scale pain scores changed from 10 to 2 cm and 7 to 3 cm in 2 patients who claimed improvements at 12 months follow-up. This inflammation is typically the direct result of a damaged or herniated disc. This treatment is known to be 98% successful however it is not covered by insurance. In a systematic review, Manchikanti et al (2013) examined the effectiveness of mechanical lumbar disc decompression with nucleoplasty. No AEs were observed after the condoliase treatment, and the pain radiating to the left leg improved within 2 weeks. 700. list-style-type : square !important; The California Technology Assessment Forum (CTAF) conducted a technology review (2003) of IDET and concluded that IDET with the Radionics Radiofrequency system and with the Oratec IDET system did not meet CTAF technology assessment criteria. Additionally, more investigation into the basic science of the action of intradiscal electrothermal annuloplasty is required. The authors reported that no serious adverse events in either arm of the study occurred, without defining serious adverse events. 2005;18 Suppl:S119-S124. 2022;76:103845. Pain. An assessment by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (2004) found that no randomized trials have been conducted to study the efficacy of nucleoplasty. The original IDB + CMM study subjects were followed for a total of 12 months (n = 22). The primary outcome measure was the change in VAS from baseline to 6-months. Her symptoms did not respond to intravenous antibiotics alone; MRI of the cervical region revealed an extensive SEA anterior to the spinal cord, spinal cord myelopathy due to anterior compression by the lesion, and a pre-vertebral abscess extending from C2 to T1. Furthermore, RECs combined with the gel were implanted into IVDs following discectomy in sheep with degenerated IVDs. Thanks. Two patients had increased symptoms and opted for surgery. Doctors have used nonsurgical spinal decompression in an attempt to treat: More research is needed to establish the safety and effectiveness of nonsurgical spinal decompression. The above policy is based on the following references: Last Review 2008;9(8):1016-1021. The authors concluded, "Nonspecific factors associated with the procedure account for a proportion of the apparent efficacy of IDET, but its efficacy cannot be attributed wholly to a placebo effect. Intervertebral disc temperature measurements during nucleoplasty and IDET procedures. Percutaneous lumbar disc decompression using the Dekompressor: A prospective long-term outcome study. Patients in the PDD group had significantly greater reduction in leg pain scores and significantly improved ODI andSF-36, physical function, bodily pain, social function, and physical components summary scores than those in the TFESI group. The clinical outcomes were evaluated by NRS and ODI at pre-treatment, 1month, 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment. There is no pain during treatment, no side effects, and no need to take downtime or recovery time off of work. No complications were observed. Randomized prospective trial of cooled versus traditional radiofrequency ablation of the medial branch nerves for the treatment of lumbar facet joint pain. Eur Spine J. Moreover, these researchers stated that further large-scale studies are needed to confirm the clinical evidence for the use of PRPr for the treatment of patients with discogenic LBP. Hashemi M, Poorfarokh M, Mohajerani SA, et al. Moreover, the authors noted that this study was limited because it was a single-case study; they stated that further studies involving more number of cases are needed to determine the effects of intradiscal PRF on patients with discogenic neck pain. Six months following continuous CMM-alone treatment, subjects in this study group were allowed to "cross-over" to IDB + CMM (n = 25); and followed for an additional 6 months. However, this study was a single-arm, open-label, phase I pilot study, and thus caution should be applied when drawing any conclusions regarding long-term safety and efficacy. The SF-36 Physical Functioning scores improved from 51 (18) to 70 (16) points after 6 months, while the SF-36 Bodily Pain score improved from 38 (15) to 54 (23) points. No authors listed. The straight leg-raising test was limited to 25 on the left side. In a prospective, parallel-group, double-blind, randomized, controlled study, Nguyen and colleagues (2017) evaluated the effectiveness of a single glucocorticoid intradiscal injection (GC-IDI) in patients with chronic LBP with active discopathy. All rights reserved. } These preliminary findings need to be validated by well-designed studies. Consecutive patients (12/2004 to 11/2005) with discogenic lumbosacral radicular pain who underwent PLDD with Dekompressor were included in this study; NRS leg pain score and ODI score data were collected at 6 months and 1 year. The authors stated that a randomized prospective study is needed. Spine. Typically they're less obese, have less [spinal] degeneration going on, more abdominal strength and better flexibility," he says. After removal of duplicate citations, a total of 226 articles were initially identified from the search terms. Short-term outcome and predictors of therapeutic effects of intradiscal condoliase injection for patients with lumbar disc herniation. Guo X, Ding W, Liu L, Yang S. Intradiscal methylene blue injection for discogenic low back pain: A meta-analysis. } r/Minnesota is what YOU make it! 2009;34(10):1078-1093. Before or after therapy, you may have other types of treatment, such as: Ask your doctor whether or not you are a good candidate for nonsurgical spinal decompression. To know how effective it really is, researchers need to compare spinal decompression with other alternatives to surgery. The outcome measures employed in this study were satisfaction with symptoms and self-reported improvement. Prior to visiting and signing up with the Disc Institute, I had been going to chiropractors for years. in 8 reviews, Mannella, he carefully explained the process that causes disc herniation or bulging and the mechanism by which this can be healed. in 5 reviews, I tried physical therapy, yoga, spinal injections and none of those helped at all. in 3 reviews. Percutaneous navigable intradiscal decompression in treatment of lumbar disc herniation: A single-center experience. At this time, this surgery is only done in the lumbar region. Following treatment, no patient experienced AEs or significant narrowing of disc height. Recommendations were based on the criteria developed by Guyatt et al. The bilateral approach is intended to facilitate controlled lesioning between the electrodes in the disc. The authors concluded that limited observational data supported the use of intradiscal biologic agents for the treatment of discogenic LBP. background-color: #663399; These investigators performed a literature review of in-vitro, in-vivo, and clinical studies. Helm Ii S, Deer TR, Manchikanti L, et al. However, results from the study on methylene blue injections have not been replicated in other RCTs. The loss of study subjects in the CMM-alone group was indirectly related to an ethical concern that it was not in the best interest of patients to continue ineffective CMM and suffer from back pain; thus, they were offered an opportunity to cross-over to IDB+CMM as a rescue treatment, which had already demonstrated its effectiveness. Kallewaard and associates (2019) noted that a study published in PAIN in 2010 showed remarkable effects of intradiscal MB injections compared with placebo on pain intensity in patients with chronic discogenic LBP (CD-LBP). He has a great bedside manner and, unlike most surgeons, he isn't cut happy. The MRgPIT procedure was feasible with an average intervention time of 17.1 5.7 mins. No AEs of intradiscal PRF stimulation were observed. 2006;15(Suppl 2):S192-S300. The study did not find evidence for a benefit of PIRFT, although it can not rule out a moderate effect. Differences in secondary measures favored IDB; no differences in opioid utilization were noted between groups. No intra-operative and post-operative complications were reported. 2017;11(3):380-389. Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET), also known as intradiscal electrothermal annuloplasty (IDTA) or IEA, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a catheter and a flexible electrode that is inserted into the affected disc in order to heat the entire posterior edge of the annulus. 2000 Apr;13-14. Data sources included relevant literature identified through searches of PubMed and EMBASE from 1966 through December 2011, and manual searches of the bibliographies of known primary and review articles. The main outcome measures evaluated were the percentage of pain relief based on VAS or numeric rating scale (NRS), percentage of patients with more than 50 % reduction in pain, percentage of patients meeting one or more success criteria after Nucleoplasty, and improvement in patient function. The primary outcome was the percentage of patients with LBP intensity less than 40 on an 11-point NRS (0 [no pain] to 100 [maximum pain] in 10-point increments) in the previous 48 hours at 1 month after the intervention. Kumar and colleagues (2017) stated that adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) offer potential as a therapeutic option for chronic discogenic LBP because of their immunomodulatory functions and capacity for cartilage differentiation. list-style-type: decimal; The SVF contains a mixture of cells including adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and growth factors and has been depleted of the adipocyte population. It is not chiropractic, physical therapy, pain management, or any other traditional method you've tried to relieve your pain.. .arrowPurpleSmall, a:hover.arrowPurpleSmall { New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. The Nerve & Disc Institute is owned by Solomon L. Cogan, D.C. 2022 The Nerve & Disc Institute. A total of 33 subjects were selected to be treated with intradiscal MBI. The sham procedure was identical to the active treatment except that probes were not directly inserted into the disc space, and RF energy was not actively delivered. OL OL OL LI { TEC Assessment Program. This technique utilizes the Bialys TransDiscal System. Short-term effectiveness was defined as 1-year or less and long-term effectiveness was defined as greater than 1-year. Exercise does nothing for an intradisk lesion or a herniated disk. The authors concluded that Nucleoplasty-based percutaneous disc decompression in patients with symptomatic contained disc herniations is safe and improves QOL as measured by the SF-36, EQ5D, and VAS for pain,3 generic QOL outcome instruments. Ina prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled trial, Gersztenand colleagues (2010)assessed clinical outcomes with percutaneous plasma disc decompression (PDD) as compared with standard care using fluoroscopy-guided trans-foraminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) over the course of 2 years. They stated that patient improvement and satisfaction with this surgical alternative supports further study of the therapy. In all cases, their condition was refractory to initial conservative care and 1 epidural steroid injection had failed. The ODI was used to assess disability-related to lumbar spine degeneration, and patient satisfaction was assessed using the modified MacNab criteria. Subjects were then monitored for adverse events (AE), range of motion (ROM), VAS, present pain intensity (PPI), ODI, BDI, Dallas Pain Questionnaire (DPQ) and SF-12 scores over a 6-month period; safety events were followed for 12 months. There is no pain during treatment, no side effects, and no need to take downtime or recovery time off of work. Visual analog scale scores of patients were recorded in the pre-operative period and 24 hours, 3 months and 6 months after the procedure. 510(k) No. Ogbonnaya S, Kaliaperumal C, Qassim A, O'Sullivan M. Outcome of nucleoplasty in patients with radicular pain due to lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. This trial was carried out in 3 European hospital spine centers. 2000;25(20):2601-2607. to limit the bias of a single assessment, the self-reported VAS pain scale should have been associated with other health survey questionnaires that encompass pain and functional evaluation. A clinical study of 29 participants who underwent intradiscal PRP injections for discogenic LBP found statistically and clinically significant improvements in pain and function through 2 years of follow-up. J Neurointerv Surg. P/N 07834. The theory is that this process creates a negative intradiscal pressure (pressure within the disc itself), which is thought to have two potential benefits: Pulls the herniated or bulging disc material back into the disc Yang and associates (2018) presented a case involving a pre-vertebral abscess complicated by a spinal epidural abscess (SEA) secondary to intradiscal O2-O3 chemonucleolysis for treatment of a cervical disc herniation. These preliminary findings need to be validated by well-designed studies. These investigators evaluated the current evidence for 3 such treatments: In a prospective, randomized, cross-over, multi-center trial , Desai et al (2016) compared the effectiveness of IDB versus conventional medical management (CMM) in the treatment of lumbar discogenic pain. Any case studies, results, endorsements, or testimonials presented on this page reflect the personal experience and opinions of the individual patient and do not prove our treatment works. National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). Intradiscal electrothermal therapy used to manage chronic discogenic low back pain: New directions and interventions. Marin (2005) stated that Nucleoplasty is a promising minimally invasive technique for the treatment of symptoms associated with contained herniated disc. Bloomington, MN: ICSI; 2005. Airaksinen O, Brox JI, Cedraschi C, et al. Int Orthop. In a 10-year matched cohort study, disc puncture and pressurized injection were found to increase the risk of clinical disc problems requiring lumbar surgery, new imaging findings, and prolonged back pain, although another prospective study suggested no acceleration of intervertebral disc degeneration in young patients after a 5-year follow-up. Intervertebral disc biacuplasty for the treatment of lumbar discogenic pain: Results of a six-month follow-up. The authors stated that this study had several drawbacks. Moreover, the results of the treatment in terms of effect and duration replicated what has been previously shown in other studies. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (2004) concluded that "[c]urrent evidence on the safety and efficacy of percutaneous intradiscal electrothermal therapy for lower back pain does not appear adequate" and that "[t]he natural history of this condition, the difficulty in assessing pain and the potential for a placebo effect all present problems when interpreting the evidence on this procedure.". Ogbonnayaand colleagues(2013) evaluated the effectiveness of nucleoplasty in the management of discogenic radicular pain. In a recent review, Barndes et al (2002) commented: "IDET is an innovative tool for the treatment of discogenic back pain. bottom: 20px; Your disc has built-in mechanisms to repair itself, and IntraDiscNutrosis gets them working again.
