简要总结

Low back pain is a debilitating condition with a lifetime prevalence of 50-80% and results in severe biopsychosocial impact. Compression of nerves is common in low back pain leading to severe radicular pain and can be due to disc degeneration, spinal stenosis, inflammation and epidural adhesions. Post lumbar laminectomy syndrome or failed back surgery syndrome can affect up to 40% of patients and epidural fibrosis is thought to contribute to 60% of such cases . Adhesiolysis is a commonly performed procedure for such conditions which releases the nerve from entrapment. It is performed by a specialized spring coiled catheter (Racz catheter) which breaks the fibrous tissue my mechanical means and use of hyaluronidase. Epidural steroids are given afterwards to reduce inflammation, but may cause side effects like increases blood sugar levels, hypertension, water retention, lowering of immunity and infections. Dextrose is now being commonly employed for chronic pain conditions. The postulated mechanisms of dextrose in managing chronic pain include tissue regeneration, sensorineural effect, reduction of sensitization and hydrodissection All these factors may help in adhesiolysis procedure and attenuation of pain. We hypothesize that epidural administration of 10% dextrose would result in better pain relief than steroid after epidural adhesiolysis in patients with chronic lumbar radicular pain
