Minimal-invasive pain procedures are effective in different degenerative pain generators in CLBP: A prospective cohort study.

Article Synopsis
- Many spinal surgeries are carried out, but they often don't provide the expected benefits to patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of minimally invasive pain procedures (MIP) on CLBP patients, finding that MIP significantly reduced pain levels and improved disability scores after 6 months.
- The research suggests that using MIP as a first option could reduce the need for expensive open surgeries, ultimately easing the strain on healthcare resources.
HADS and SOMS-2 brief score evaluation can prevent unnecessary minimal invasive spine interventions - a prospective blinded observational clinical trial.

Introduction: To test the hypothesis, whether HADS/SOMS is practical in a spine surgery consultation setting and that patients with CLBP, but a high-risk of psychic comorbidities using above screenings will not improve after minimal-invasive spine interventions (MIS).
Methods: n = 150 completed HADS and SOMS prior to the acquisition of history and examination. Primary outcome was improvement by numeric rating scale (NRS), Pain disability index (PDI) and oswestry disability index (ODI) at baseline and 6 months after intervention.
Comparing soleus injections and gastrocnemius injections of botulinum toxin for treating adult spastic foot drop: a monocentric observational study.

Department of Neurology, University of Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf, Germany.
Objective: Outcome differences between selective abobotulinumtoxin type A (aboBoNT/A) injections into the soleus (SOL) and gastrocnemius (GAS) muscles were investigated in post-stroke patients with spastic foot drop.
Methods: A monocentric observational study was conducted at a university hospital botulinum toxin clinic including 24 free-walking adult, botulinum toxin-naive patients with post-stroke hemiplegia. AboBoNT/A (800 MU in 4 mL saline) was injected into the SOL or GAS muscle under electromyographic guidance.
C-Terminal-Pro-Endothelin-1 Adds Incremental Prognostic Value for Risk Stratification After Ischemic Stroke.

Endothelins have shown to play a role in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. We aimed at evaluating the incremental prognostic value of C-terminal-pro-endothelin-1 (CT-pro-ET-1) in a well-described cohort of acute stroke patients. We performed serial measurements of CT-pro-ET-1 in 361 consecutively enrolled ischemic stroke patients and assessed functional outcome and mortality after 90 days.

Neural plasticity is the basis for an adaptation process of functional and structural characteristics of the nervous system in response to a changing environment. However, changes during training in healthy volunteers are only partially comparable to that observed in patients with circumscribed lesions. Pathologies can even be associated with maladaptive plasticity.
