Coccydynia Improved by Percutaneous Discectomy.

Usually, coccydynia cases are caused by herniated discs, with lower back pain and sciatica as initial symptoms. However, whether lumbar disc herniation causes coccydynia without back pain remains unclear. We report a case of lumbar disc herniation diagnosed as the underlying cause of coccydynia by discoblock.

Intractable pain due to thoracic outlet syndrome successfully treated with percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis: A case report.

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is characterized by intractable cervicobrachial pain caused by strangulation of the brachial plexus and subclavian artery by structures of the superior thoracic outlet. We describe percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis for refractory pain due to TOS. A man in his 40s had received nerve block therapy for right upper extremity pain of unknown origin for 5 years.

Temporary Spinal Cord Stimulation for Herpes Zoster With Myelitis: A Case Series.

Introduction Preventing the development of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), the most prevalent and severe complication of herpes zoster (HZ), is vital. Recently, it has been suggested that using temporary spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) for 10-14 days can improve HZ-associated pain (ZAP) and prevent PHN. However, myelitis complicates HZ.

Review of Caplan (1991) on cell-based therapeutic technology using Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

This classic discusses the original 1991 publication 'Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)' by Dr. Caplan on the emergence of a new therapeutic technology of self-cell repair using MSCs. After the original classic publication, a large number of methods to regenerate injured tissue have been reported.
