Detail
Condition
Lumbar Discogenic Pain and Contained Herniation
Key Mechanisms
Multi-mechanistic strategies addressing pressure, fissures, nerve ingrowth, and inflammation.
Target Population
Patients with chronic lumbar discogenic pain and contained herniations.
Care Setting
Single-center retrospective cohort study.
Key Highlights
DPAE group showed a mean VAS reduction of 5.29 compared to 4.17 in the Disc-FX group (p < 0.001).
Higher composite success rate in DPAE group (70.0% vs. 51.1%, p < 0.05).
Reintervention rate was lower in DPAE group (7.3% vs. 14.8%, p = 0.047).
DPAE demonstrated better improvement in ODI and PGIC scores.
Complication rates were not significantly different between groups (6.4% vs. 9.1%).
