Article Synopsis
  • Gabapentinoids, like gabapentin (GBP) and pregabalin (PGB), are used to treat neuropathic pain from lumbar radiculopathy, but there’s limited research comparing their effectiveness.
  • A meta-analysis reviewed studies from 1960 to 2023, finding that PGB significantly reduced pain compared to GBP in the short term (up to 6 weeks), but both were similar in efficacy for long-term relief (6-12 weeks).
  • The analysis showed no significant difference in adverse effects between GBP and PGB, which can help physicians make informed prescribing decisions for lumbar radiculopathy.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate how polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) and microcurrent therapy (MT) functioned synergistically in a cast-immobilized rabbit model with an atrophied calf muscle.

Methods: At the age of 12 weeks, 32 male New Zealand rabbits were enrolled in four groups. After 2 weeks of cast-immobilization, 4 procedures were performed on atrophied calf muscle [weekly two injections normal saline 0.

Lumbar radiculopathy can be presented as low back pain and radiating pain. Transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) has been used to treat radicular pain, and after the injection, additional medications such as gabapentinoids including pregabalin (PGB) and gabapentin (GBP) can be administered to relieve remnant pain. However, little is known about the effectiveness of gabapentinoids in relieving pain after transforaminal epidural steroid injection.

Dysphagia can occur among patients receiving medical care despite having no history of neurologic disease. The current study aimed to investigate factors contributing to airway invasion among non-neurologically ill patients with dysphagia.This retrospective study included 52 non-neurologically ill patients who complained of swallowing difficulty and consulted the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine for videofluoroscopic swallowing studies between January 2018 and June 2019.
