Background: Despite lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is common in adults, it is extremely rare in children. The treatment of LDH in children is still a challenge for surgeons. This study aimed to explore the pathogenesis, clinical characteristics and treatment methods of LDH in children for communication and learning.Methods: In October 2017, a child with LDH who failed to receive conservative treatment underwent surgical treatment. The child underwent minimally invasive high-definition microscope-assisted nucleus pulposus resection and nerve root decompression. The soft tissues such as muscles and paravertebral ligaments were separated and removed under microscope, the nucleus pulposus of disc herniation was removed, and the left lumbar 5 nerve root was decompressed. During the short-term and long-term follow-up after operation, the assessment pain was significantly improved, the activity was not limited, and the muscle strength returned to normal.Results: The next day after operation, the child could wear ordinary waist circumference to get out of bed, and the left lower limb muscle strength returned to grade 4-5, and were discharged 5 days after operation. After 3 years of telephone follow-up, the patient complained that the pain was significantly relieved, the left lower limb movement was not limited, and the muscle strength returned to normal. Conclusions: In this case, the minimally invasive high-definition microscope assisted small channel treatment of LDH in children was successful, and the postoperative recovery was good. It can provide reference for LDH in children who need surgical treatment when conservative treatment was ineffective.

ÖZETAmaç: Bu çalışma disk herni nedeniyle ağrı yaşayan bireylerin tamamlayıcı ve integratif sağlık uygulamalarını (TİSU) kullanma durumlarını belirlemek amacı ile tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Gereç-Yöntem: Araştırma Ocak 2014-Haziran 2014 tarihleri arasında toplam 185 hasta ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada etik kurul onayı ile bireylerden yazılı bilgilendirilmiş olur alınmıştır. Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan anket formu ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 50.6±14.3 olup, %68.6'sı bel, %24.9'u boyun, %13.5'i sırt ve %35.3'ü bacak ağrısından şikayetçidir. Hastaların %74.1'i mevcut ağrıları için TİSU yöntemi kullandığını, TİSU kullananların %78.1'i TİSU kullanmadan önce sağlık personeline danışmadığını, %88.6'sı kullandığı TİSU yönteminin sağlık personeli tarafından sorgulanmadığını ve %73.0'ı TİSU kullandığını sağlık personeline söylemediğini ifade etmiştir. En sık kullanılan üç yöntemin sırasıyla; masaj uygulaması %57.4, dua etme %52.2 ve sıcak uygulama %28.7 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Disk herni tanılı hastaların TİSU yöntemlerini sıklıkla kullandığı ve bu durumu sağlık personeli ile paylaşmadığı saptanmıştır. Sağlık personeli hastaların TİSU yöntemlerine olan eğilimlerinin farkında olmalı ve hastaları TİSU yöntemlerinin fayda ve riskleri açısından bilgilendirmelidir. The use of complementary and integrative health practices in disc herniation patientsABSTRACT Aim: This descriptive study was conducted to determine complementary and alternative medicines (CIHP) used by patients with disc herniation to relieve low back pain. Methods: A demographic questionnaire was completed with 185 patients between January 2014 and June 2014. Data has been collected from a face-to-face interview performed by a researchers. results: The mean age of patients 50.6±14.3. The most common types of CIHP used were respectively messages (57.4%), pray (52.2%) and hot application (%28.7). Majority of the patients using CIHP (73.0%) did not discuss the use of these therapies with health care providers. Conclusion: Study showed that patients with disc herniation had higher rates of CIHP use. Majority of the patients did not share the use of these therapies with health care providers. Health care providers should be aware of the tendency to use CIHP methods of patients and should be informed about the benefits and risks of CIHP methods.

“…Symptomatic herniations present as lumbar radiculopathy including radicular pain, sensory abnormalities from both a mechanical compression and chemical irritation of the nerve root [2]. LDH occurs in approximately 10% of the population and has a serious impact on the work and life quality of patients and is the most common causes working-age individuals to undergo lumbar spine surgery, and also generates a large economic burden [3,4].…”

Background Although the Japanese Orthopedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire (JOABPEQ), Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), and Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) has shown a preferable psychometric properties in patients with low back pain (LBP), but no study has yet determined these in conservative treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Thus the current study aimed to compare those scales in LDH patients receiving conservative treatment to select the better option to assess the severity of disease. Methods LDH patients were invited to complete the JOABPEQ, NPRS, ODI, RMDQ, and SF-36 twice. The internal consistency was evaluated by the Cronbach’s α. Test-retest reliability was tested by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The relationships of these scales were evaluated by the Pearson correlation coefficients (r). The responsiveness was operationalised using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, as well as the comparison of smallest detectable change (SDC), minimum important change (MIC). Results A total of 353 LDH patients were enrolled. Four subscales of the Chinese JOABPEQ were over 0.70, then the ICCs for the test-retest reliability were over 0.75. For functional status, remarked negative correlations could be seen between JOABPEQ Q2-Q4 and ODI, as well as RMDQ (r = − 0.634 to − 0.752). For general health status, remarkable positive correlations could also be seen between Q5 Mental health and SF-36 PCS (r = 0.724) as well as SF-36 MCS (r = 0.736). Besides, the area under of the curves (AUC) of the JOABPEQ ranged from 0.743 to 0.827, indicating acceptale responsiveness, as well as the NPRS, ODI, and RMDQ. Conclusion NPRS, and ODI or RMDQ is recommended in studies related to LDH patients, while if the quality of life also is needed to observe, the NPRS, and JOABPEQ would be more appropriate rather than SF-36.
