Bezdrátová míšní stimulace - navrhovaný algoritmus před implantací

Background: We focus on interventional diagnostics and treatment by spinal cord stimulation (SCS) taking place in our workplace. SCS is a financially demanding therapy, so patient selection is considered important. Methods: We present a brief summary of the diagnostic interventions used on spinal cord structures that confirm or exclude pain generators in patients with complicated … Číst dál

Terapeutické možnosti u pacientů s refrakterní anginou pectoris: míšní stimulace

Refractory angina pectoris is defined as angina resistant to optimal medical treatment and standard coronary revascularisation procedures. Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) provides relief from symptoms of Refractory Angina Pectoris (RAP), but its mechanism of action remains incompletely understood. This paper provides a short description of the current possibilities in the use of neuromodulation for … Číst dál

SPORT A JEHO VLIV NA DEGENERACI MEZIOBRATLOVÝCH PLOTÉNEK

Physical strain, which has a direct influence on the excessive increase of intra-discal pressure, is possibly one of the main risk factors in the formation of degenerative changes of the intervertebral discs. Recreational and professional sport activities cause repetitive increase of intra-discal pressure, which can initiate degenerative changes of the intervertebral disc. Different types of … Číst dál

Comparing the effectiveness of treatment with radio frequency denervation, cryoablation adn endoscopic debridement of the facet joint

One of the main causes of chronic lower back pain is lumbar facet syndrome (LFS). It develops due to the damage of the facet joints and subsequent irritation of the adjacent sensory nerves. The diagnosis of LFS is based on comprehensive clinical examinations of the patient, evaluation of imaging diagnostic studies and nerve blockades under … Číst dál

Radiofrequency denervation of facet joints in low back pain therapy at lumbar facet syndrome

Facet joints were first described as a possible origin of back pain in 1933. Back pain is now the most common type of pain in humans. They are often the result of degenerative changes in the spine, including the facet joints, affecting a significant portion of the population still of working age. For an increasing … Číst dál

Percutaneous endoscopic techniques and their position in diagnostic and treatment process focused on vertebrogenic diseases: epiduroscopy and endoscopic discectomy

Percutaneous endoscopic techniques are modern minimally-invasive methods that enable effective treatment of pain and accompanying neurological symptoms in patients with an intervertebral disc herniation and/or other epidural pathologies. Available evidence supports their efficacy and safety therefore, they deserve a stable position in addressing specific types of spinal pathologies. Epiduroscopy is a suitable diagnostic and therapeutic … Číst dál
