Investigation of Preoperative Factors Influencing the Outcome of Motor Deficits in Patients Undergoing Lumbar Microdiskectomy
Sponsor
Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki
Enrollment
40 participants
Start Date
Jul 3, 2024
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Lumbar disc herniations may result in lower limb weakness. In such cases, there is a strong indication for surgical intervention through microdiscectomy. This clinical study aims to investigate preoperative factors that may influence the postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing this procedure.
Eligibility
Min Age: 18 Years
Inclusion Criteria2
- Patients suffering from lower limb paresis (motor deficit) caused by lumbar disk herniation undergoing a single-level microdiskectomy
- Age (years) > 17
Exclusion Criteria8
- Age (years) < 18
- Medical history of lumbar spine surgery
- Absence of limb paresis
- Motor deficit caused by other than disk herniation aetiologies
- Reoperation within 6 months after microdiskectomy
- Microdiskectomy at more than one level
- Cauda equina syndrome
- Peripheral neuropathy
