Muscle Analyze In Patient With Disc Herniation

Completed
Conditions
Disk Herniated Lumbar
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Registration Number
NCT05245214
Lead Sponsor
Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University
Brief Summary

This study which was planned to investigate the factors affecting m. erector spinae (ES), m. multifidus (MF), m. psoas major (PM) and m. quadratus lumborum (QL), which stabilize the lumbar region in the case of disc herniation. In this study, the effects of disc herniation, herniation severity, age, and spinal biomechanics were investigated.

Detailed Description

This study was carried out on 330 individuals with and without lumbar disc herniation. All individuals were divided into 3 groups according to their age. The inclusion criteria: Having only disc degeneration and not having any other neurological or orthopedic disease. Patients who had previous spinal surgery, patients with lumbar scoliosis, spondylolisthesis or structural defect in the sacrum were excluded from the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Muscle cross-area1 Month

The cross-sectional area of the Multifidus, Erector Spina, Quadratus Lumborum, and Psoas Major muscles on both sides were measured using the T2-weighted axial Magnetig Resonance Imaging.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Lumbar Biomechanic1 Month

Biomechanic analysis was performed by measuring the sagittal curve using T2-weighted sagittal images.
