Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction01:29

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

40
Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...

Summary

Tuina therapy significantly reduced pain and improved function in lumbar disc herniation patients by modulating brain network activity, particularly within the inferior frontal gyrus. This approach offers a novel mechanism for pain relief.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common cause of low back pain.
