Repeated, longer term exposure (5 years or more) to certain work-related activities may put people at risk of developing lumbosacral radiculopathy. [5] These behaviours may include physically demanding work, bending over or twisting at the trunk, lifting and carrying, or a combination of these activities. [5]
Treatment of RILP is primarily supportive [15] with mental, [2] [10] physiological [2] [1] [10] [15] and social aspects [10] and consideration of any aggravating (synergistic) neurological factors. [1] [10] To prevent compounding existing RILP symptoms and to minimize further progression Remove co-morbidity factors [1] [10] control diabetes and ...
It was proposed more than 20 years ago that autoantibodies play a role in the development of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. This was supported by the detection of oligoclonal IgG bands in the cerebrospinal fluid [ 23 ] and immunoglobulin as well as complement deposition on myelinated nerve fibers.
There is epidemiological information available on lumbar radiculopathy, such as 'Characterization of the incidence and risk factors for the development of lumbar radiculopathy,' by Schoenfeld AJ, et al. [1] or 'Lumbosacral Radiculopathy,' by Gerard A Malanga et al. [2]. A more qualified editor should edit this section to reflect the more common ...
A challenge associated with radiographic imaging is the typical ten-year lag between the beginning of inflammatory back pain and the development of radiographic sacroiliitis. [26] MRI imaging of the spine and entheses has made it possible to distinguish between inflammatory spinal lesions associated with ankylosing spondylitis and those ...
The risk for lumbar disc disease is increased in overweight individuals because of the increased compressive force on the nucleus pulposus, and is twice as likely to occur in men. [19] [21] A 2002 study found that lifestyle factors such as night-shift work and lack of physical activity can also increase the risk of lumbar disc disease. [22]
Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy (CSM) is a disorder characterised by the age-related deterioration of the cervical spinal cord. [1] Referred to be a range of different but related terms, a global consensus process selected Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy as the new overarching disease term. [2]
Post-mastectomy pain syndrome is a chronic neuropathic pain that usually manifests as continuous pain in the arm, axilla, chest wall, and breast region. [3] Pain is most likely to start after surgery, [3] although adjuvant therapy, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, may sometimes cause new symptoms to appear. [4]
