Overall the study results indicated that, compared with those of control participants, TSPO levels in sciatica patients were higher in both the neuroforamina and the spinal cord. The sciatica ...

Disk degeneration places excess pressure between the disks and on the nerve roots, and this process can lead to a pinched nerve. The most commonly affected nerve root in cervical radiculopathy is ...

Neurolymphomatosis: (Left) T2-weighted axial MRI at the L5 level; (Right) T1-weighted sagittal MRI. On the left scan, note the markedly enlarged nerve root compared to the normal size of the other ...

However, with nerve root enlargement and clumping, as in this case, the etiology is more likely infiltrative. Subsequent evaluation of this patient demonstrated metastatic carcinoma of the stomach.

Progressive damage of the nerve root and central sensitization mechanisms have been hypothesized. 28,29 Burning, throbbing, or aching pain is probably mediated by impairment of C fibers ...

An exception was Patient 11 (Table 1). Although nerve-root section in this patient was presumably restricted to third-division fibers, vesicles appeared in the dermatome of the second division.

Medically reviewed by Jennifer Steinhoff, MD A pinched nerve in the lower back occurs when excessive pressure is applied to a nerve, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness. Also known as radicular ...

This 352-person trial, dubbed Study 1133 and conducted in the U.S., found that condoliase (a single injection of 1 mL at varying concentrations) did improve average leg pain from baseline to week ...
