BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Electrodiagnostic studies can be used to confirm the diagnosis of lumbosacral radiculopathies, but more sensitive diagnostic methods are often needed to measure the ensuing motor neuronal loss and sympathetic failure. METHODS Twenty-six patients with lumbar radiculopathy and 30 controls were investigated using nerve conduction studies, motor unit number estimation (MUNE...

We evaluated the efficacy of pregabalin in patients with chronic lumbosacral radiculopathy. This randomized, controlled, withdrawal trial included five phases: screening (4-18 days); run-in (4-10 days) to screen out placebo responders; single-blind (28 days) to identify pregabalin responders; double-blind to randomize responders to pregabalin or placebo (35 days); and final study medication tap...

Cervical and lumbosacral radiculopathies are conditions involving a pathological process affecting the spinal nerve root. Commonly, this is a herniated nucleus pulposis that anatomically compresses a nerve root within the spinal canal. Another common etiology for radiculopathy is spinal stenosis resulting from a combination of degenerative spondylosis, ligament hypertrophy, and spondylolisthesi...

Vertebrogenic lumbosacral radiculopathy, being a global problem of modern healthcare, occupies one the leading places among reasons for visiting doctors various specialties and disability people different age categories. According to scientific medical research by number authors, an episode back pain, at least once in lifetime, is noted 100% able-bodied population developed countries. The high ...

Background: F-wave study, part of electrodiagnostic study, has had a controversial sensitivity in the diagnosis of lumbosacral radiculopathy. Objectives: We aimed to compare F wave parameters obtained from the tibial nerve of both extremities in patients with unilateral S1 radiculopathy. Materials and Methods: The study was done from March to September 2015 in the Electrodiagnostic laborator...
