Article Synopsis
- A cervicogenic headache (CEH) can be tricky to diagnose because it has different causes; this study explored the effectiveness of SPECT/CT imaging for diagnosing CEH and guiding treatment.
- In a study with 23 CEH patients, those who underwent SPECT/CT imaging received specific injections based on their results, while a control group received a different type of treatment.
- Six months later, patients treated based on SPECT/CT findings showed significantly better outcomes in pain and disability scores compared to the control group, suggesting that SPECT/CT is useful for accurately targeting treatment.

Department of Neurosurgery, Cham Teun Teun Research Institute, Seoul, Korea.
Objective: Lumbar discectomy is an effective treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH); however, up to 2-18% of patients with LDH have experienced recurrent disc herniation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel annular closure device (ACD) for preventing LDH recurrence and re-operation compared with that of conventional lumbar discectomy (CLD).
Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled trial, we compared CLD with discectomy utilizing the Barricaid® (Intrinsic Therapeutics, Inc.
Clinical Effectiveness of Percutaneous Epidural Neuroplasty According to the Type of Single-Level Lumbar Disc Herniation : A 12-Month Follow-Up Study.
J Korean Neurosurg Soc
November 2019
Department of Neurosurgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Objective: To determine whether the outcomes of percutaneous epidural neuroplasty (PEN) are influenced by the type of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and evaluate the effectiveness of PEN in patients with single-level LDH.
Methods: This study included 430 consecutive patients with single-level LDH who underwent PEN. Before treatment, the LDH type was categorized as bulging, protrusion, extrusion, and sequestration, while Pfirrmann grades were assigned according to imaging findings.
Activin A/BMP2 Chimera (AB204) Exhibits Better Spinal Bone Fusion Properties than rhBMP2.

Protein Engineering Laboratory, joint Center for Biosciences at Songdo Global University, Incheon, Korea.
Objective: To compare the spinal bone fusion properties of activin A/BMP2 chimera (AB204) with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP2) using a rat posterolateral spinal fusion model.
Methods: The study was designed to compare the effects and property at different dosages of AB204 and rhBMP2 on spinal bone fusion. Sixty-one male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent posterolateral lumbar spinal fusion using one of nine treatments during the study, that is, sham; osteon only; 3.
