Overview
Brief Summary
Spondylolisthesis is a serious health condition that is often treated with surgery or pain-relieving lumbar epidural steroids. Patients with persistent and debilitating symptoms who have failed to respond to conservative treatment should consider surgery.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic efficacy of three ultrasound guided PRP injections of the facet joint capsule to surgical procedures in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis G1 and their effect on neurogenic pain relief and functional improvement over a one-year follow-up period.
Methods:
A one-year prospective randomised comparative clinical trial was performed on 60 patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis G1 who were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group 1: thirty patients were injected in the facet joint capsule with a series of three ultrasound-guided PRP injections at four-week intervals, and Group 2: thirty patients underwent surgery. They were exposed to clinical neuropsychological testing.They were assessed for pain and function using clinical neurological assessments, VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), FRI (Functional Rating Index), Roland Morris, and ODI.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
1-Visual analogue scale. ,
Time Frame: 12 months
VAS Visual analogue scale: According to the VAS, the pain severity was calculated by the patients on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (agonising pain)
2-The Persian Functional Rating Index (FRI )
Time Frame: 12 months
The Persian Functional Rating Index (FRI ), which is an accurate and valid instrument that contains 10 items that measure both pain and function, with an impairment score ranging from 0% (no disability) to 100% (severe disability) 2- The Persian Functional Rating Index (FRI ), which is an accurate and valid instrument that contains 10 items that measure both pain and function, with an impairment score ranging from 0% (no disability) to 100% (severe disability)
Secondary Outcomes
- Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for low back pain(12 months)
- The Roland-Morris questionnaire(12 months)
