Effectiveness of intradiscal injection of radiopaque gelified ethanol (DiscoGel()) versus percutaneous laser disc decompression in patients with chronic radicular low back pain

Background: Low back pain secondary to discopathy is a common pain disorder. Multiple minimally invasive therapeutic modalities have been proposed; however, to date no study has compared percutaneous laser disc…

The use of targeted percutaneous laser disc decompression under the guidance of puncture-radiating pain leads to better short-term responses in lumbar disc herniation

Objective: Traditional percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) eliminates nucleus pulposus in the center of lumbar discs. Targeted PLDD is an alternative technique that involves elimination and decompression of the target…

Percutaneous laser disc decompression versus conventional microdiscectomy in sciatica: a randomized controlled trial

Background context: Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) is a minimally invasive treatment for lumbar disc herniation, with Food and Drug Administration approval since 1991. However, no randomized trial comparing PLDD…

Experimental Evaluation of Percutaneous Lumbar Laser Disc Decompression Using a 1414 nm Nd:YAG Laser

Background: Laser ablation under an epiduroscopic view allows for the vaporization of a small amount of the nucleus pulposus, causing a reduction in intradiscal pressure and relief of radicular pain.…
