Trigger Point Incidence After Lumbar Disc Herniation Surgery

NCT04136197 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 110
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Our purpose is to determine the incidence of trigger points in patients who remain in a fixed position for a long time during lumbar disc herniation surgery.

Conditions

Trigger Point Pain, Myofascial

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Manual Palpation

  The patients are positioned in a sitting and prone lying posture.Trigger points are discrete, local, hypersensitive spots located in a taut band of muscles. Palpation of the trigger point will cause elicitation pain over the affected area and radiation of pain toward a zone of reference and a local twitch response.

  Change from baseline (preoperative state) to postoperative first and third day

• Visual Analog Scale

  Pain will be assessed with Visual Analog Scale (VAS).The VAS is usually a horizontal line, 10 cm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end with "No Pain" (score of zero) on the left side up to "pain as bad as it could be" or the "worst imaginable pain" (Score of 100 \[100-mm scale\]) on the right side.The patient was asked to mark the line point that represented his or her current pain.

  Change from baseline (preoperative state) to postoperative first and third day

Interventions

Manual palpation for incidence determination DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The patients are positioned in a sitting and prone lying posture. Trigger points are discrete, local, hypersensitive spots located in a taut band of muscles. Palpation of the trigger point will cause elicitation pain over the affected area and radiation of pain toward a zone of reference and a local twitch response.
