Article Synopsis
- The study aims to analyze the lingering effects of lumbago and leg pain in patients with contained and non-contained lumbar disc herniation after undergoing transforaminal endoscopic treatment, while also investigating the roles of specific biochemical markers (HIF-1α and TRPV1).
- A total of 68 patients, aged 26 to 67, were grouped based on the integrity of their outer fibrous layer during surgery, with data collected on various health and pain indicators such as mRNA expression levels and pain scales.
- A control group of 17 patients who had open surgery for other spinal issues was also included to compare findings, focusing on various receptors and factors that may relate to pain management post-surgery.
