Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes after preganglionic versus ganglionic epidural steroid injection (ESI) using a systematic review and network meta-analysis. A systematic review and meta-regression was performed to compare postoperative outcomes between the two difference injection techniques. Relevant randomized controlled trials were identified from Medline and Scopus up to September 24, 2016. Sixteen out of 598 studies were eligible; 3, 2, and 3 studies were included in the pooling of outcomes including effectiveness, visual analog score (VAS), and complications (nerve root, injury, dural puncture, and intraneural injection). Preganglionic ESI has a 2.38 (95% CI 1.12, 5.04) times statistically significantly higher chance of effectiveness when compared to ganglionic ESI. There were differences in pain VAS and complications in lumbar radiculopathy, but these displayed no statistical significance. This meta-analysis indicated that preganglionic ESI has a statistically significantly higher chance of effectiveness when compared to ganglionic ESI. In terms of pain score and complications, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups. These results were generally homogeneous and with little publication bias, thus should be generalizable.

Wie erfolgreich ist eine Re-Ablation nach Rezidiv?

23.04.2024 Ablationstherapie Nachrichten

Nach der Katheterablation von Vorhofflimmern kommt es bei etwa einem Drittel der Patienten zu Rezidiven, meist binnen eines Jahres. Wie sich spätere Rückfälle auf die Erfolgschancen einer erneuten Ablation auswirken, haben Schweizer Kardiologen erforscht.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
