Prolonged conservative treatment or 'early' surgery in sciatica caused by a lumbar disc herniation: rationale and design of a randomized trial [ISRCT 26872154]

“…This study to investigate this scientific gap in our understanding of the effectiveness of surgery for LSRS is in line with a recommendation by the Dutch Health Council in 1999 to the Minister of Health [4] and the current Cochrane Review [15,16]. …”

Surgery for Low Back Pain

“…We retrieved 124 articles based on examination of titles and abstracts. We excluded 12 potentially relevant reviews [63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74] (see Appendix 9, Supplemental Digital Content 9, http://links.lww.com/A928) and 4 trials 75-78 (see Appendix 10, Supplemental Digital Content 10, http://links.lww.com/A929). Of 36 full-text articles potentially reporting a relevant systematic review, we judged 24 (reporting 22 systematic reviews) to meet inclusion criteria (see Appendices 5 and 6, Supplemental Digital Content 5 and 6, http://links.lww.com/A924 and http://links.lww.com/A925).…”

Low back pain and sciatica: treatment with intradiscal-intraforaminal O2-O3 injection. Our experience

“…An intervertebral disc with an intact annulus behaves like a closed hydraulic space where removal of even a small amount of material generates a large decrease in internal hydraulic pressure. The results obtained in controlled trials report relief of pain for least 6 months in 70% of cases [14,15].…”
