“…It is also the most common indication for spinal surgery in the old age population [3]. Back pain in LSS may be due to 1) disc degeneration with secondary facet hypertrophic arthropathy and instability, 2) mechanical compression of nerves by bone, ligament or disc material, and 3) biomechanical mediators of inflammation or pain [4]. Ogikubo et al [5] showed that there is a direct relationship between the cross sectional area of the dural sac at the most constricted spinal level (mCSA) and the severity of leg and back pain.…”

Study DesignProspective cohort study.PurposeTo assess whether additional implantation of Coflex following spinal decompression provided better clinical outcomes compared to decompression alone for symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and to determine whether improvement in clinical outcomes correlated with changes in the radiological indices studied.Overview of LiteratureLiterature on benefits of additional Coflex implantation compared to decompression alone for symptomatic LSS is limited.MethodsPatients with symptomatic LSS who met the study criteria were offered spinal decompression with Coflex implantation. Those patients who accepted Coflex implantation were placed in the Coflex group (n=22); while those opting for decompression alone, were placed in the comparison group (n=24). Clinical outcomes were assessed preoperatively, six-months, one-year and two-years postoperatively, using the Oswestry disability index, 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS)-back pain and VAS-leg pain, and short form-36 (SF-36). Radiological indices (disc height, foraminal height and sagittal angle) were assessed preoperatively, six months, one year, and two years postoperatively.ResultsBoth groups showed statistically significant (p<0.001) improvement in all the clinical outcome indicators at all points in time as compared to the preoperative status. However, improvement in the Coflex group was significantly greater (p<0.001) than the comparison group. Changes in the radiological indices did not correlate significantly with the improvement in clinical outcome indicators.ConclusionsAdditional Coflex implantation after spinal decompression in symptomatic LSS offers better clinical outcomes than decompression alone in the short-term. Changes in radiological indices do not correlate with the improvements in clinical outcomes after surgery for symptomatic LSS.

Resumo: Lombalgia é a dor que ocorre nas regiões lombares inferiores, lombossacrais ou sacroilíacas da coluna vertebral. Pode ser acompanhada de dor que se irradia para uma ou ambas as nádegas ou para as pernas na distribuição do nervo ciático e pode ser causada por várias etiologias. O método Pilates é um sistema de exercícios terapêuticos que tem como base o controle consciente de todos os movimentos musculares do corpo. Trabalha força e respiração, flexibilidade e resistência cardiorrespiratória. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a melhora de dor, postura e flexibilidade de sujeitos com quadro de lombalgia aplicando o método Pilates. A amostra constou de sete sujeitos, de ambos os sexos, com queixa de lombalgia que foram avaliados, fotografados e responderam a dois questionários (SF-36 e Oswestry) no início e término do tratamento. Foram realizadas um total de 10 sessões, 1 Bacharel em Fisioterapia pelo Centro Universitário Adventista de São Paulo.

“…Havia poucos experimentos à luz do conhecimento científico ocidental para convencer os céticos (4; 5); porém, nos últimos 25 anos essa situação mudou consideravelmente. Estudos clínicos e pré-clínicos nos moldes atuais vêm demonstrando a eficácia e efetividade da acupuntura em diversas condições (5). Em 2003, a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) publicou uma revisão indicando a terapia com acupuntura para uma relação de mais de cem doenças (6).…”
