The impact of central sensitization-related symptoms on subacromial steroid injection outcomes in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome: an observational study.

Background: Evidence indicates that central sensitization (CS) plays a role in subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Reduced treatment response has been associated with pretreatment pain sensitization features, such as CSrelated symptoms.

Methods: Patients who received subacromial steroid injection were evaluated before the injection, at the first and third months.

Central sensitization-related symptoms and their relationship to disability in prevalent chronic musculoskeletal pain: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Central sensitization (CS) has an important role in chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain, which is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide.

Objectives: To investigate the relationship between CS-related symptoms and disability in chronic MSK pain.

Design: Multi-center cross-sectional survey.

The Effect of Central Sensitization on Interlaminar Epidural Steroid Injection Treatment Outcomes in Patients with Cervical Disc Herniation: An Observational Study.

Background: Central sensitization (CS) is a hyperexcitability that is manifested by the increased response of the central nervous system to sensory stimuli. It has been shown that the presence of CS may have a negative effect on the clinical picture in some musculoskeletal diseases and also have a negative effect on spinal procedures.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of CS on interlaminar epidural steroid injection (ILESI) treatment outcomes in patients with cervical disc herniation (CDH).

Clinical and functional impact of central sensitization on patients with familial Mediterranean fever: a cross-sectional study.

This study aimed to investigate the frequency of CS and its clinical and functional effects on familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). A hundred FMF patients were included in this study. The presence of CS was investigated by the central sensitization inventory (CSI).

Central sensitization in axial spondyloarthritis: An explorative study with quantitative sensory testing and clinical scales.

Objectives: To evaluate the central sensitization (CS) and the related parameters in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).

Methods: Quantitative sensory testing (QST) which consists of pressure pain threshold (PPT), temporal summation (TS), and conditioned pain modulation (CPM) were applied to the participants. Disease activity, functional status, sleep quality, pain, depression, and fatigue were assessed.

Does the presence of neuropathic pain affect the outcomes of the interlaminar epidural steroid injection for cervical disc herniation?: A prospective clinical study.

Epidural steroid injections (ESI) are commonly performed for the treatment of chronic cervical disc herniation (CDH). Although they are considered to be effective for both nociceptive and neuropathic types of pain, there is a lack of data regarding the impact of neuropathic pain (NP) and nociceptive pain components on treatment outcomes. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of interlaminar epidural steroid injection (ILESI) between patients with predominantly NP and nociceptive pain due to CDH.

Are Foraminal Stenosis Severity and Herniation Level Associated with the Treatment Success of Cervical Interlaminar Epidural Steroid Injection?

Background: Foraminal stenosis, defined as a narrowing of the cervical neural foramen, is one of the most common causes of upper extremity radicular pain.

Objectives: The aim of our study was to determine the effects of the severity of neural foraminal stenosis and spinal herniation level on treatment success in patients treated with interlaminar epidural steroid injections (ILESI) due to cervical disc herniation-related radiculopathy and their possible predictive roles.

Study Design: A retrospective assessment.
