    Motor corticospinal excitability abnormalities differ between distinct chronic low back pain syndromes
    (2023) SILVA, Marcelo Luiz da; FERNANDES, Ana Mercia; SILVA, Valquiria A.; GALHARDONI, Ricardo; FELAU, Valter; ARAUJO, Joaci O. de; JR, Jefferson Rosi; BROCK, Roger S.; KUBOTA, Gabriel T.; TEIXEIRA, Manoel J.; YENG, Lin T.; ANDRADE, Daniel Ciampi de
    Objectives: It is not known whether cortical plastic changes reported in low-back pain (LBP) are present in all etiologies of LBP. Here we report on the assessment of patients with three LBP con-ditions: non-specific-LBP (ns-LBP), failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS), and sciatica (Sc).Methods: Patients underwent a standardized assessment of clinical pain, conditioned pain mod-ulation (CPM), and measures of motor evoked potential (MEPs)-based motor corticospinal excit-ability (CE) by transcranial magnetic stimulation, including short interval intracortical inhibition (SICI), and intracortical facilitation (ICF). Comparisons were also made with normative data from sex-and age-matched healthy volunteers.Results: 60 patients (42 women, 55.1 +/- 9.1 years old) with LBP were included (20 in each group). Pain intensity was higher in patients with neuropathic pain [FBSS (6.8 +/- 1.3), and Sc (6.4 +/- 1.4)] than in those with ns-LBP (4.7 +/- 1.0, P<0.001). The same was shown for pain interference (5.9 +/- 2.0, 5.9 +/- 1.8, 3.2 +/- 1.9, P<0.001), disability (16.4 +/- 3.3, 16.3 +/- 4.3, 10.4 +/- 4.3, P<0.001), and catastrophism (31.1 +/- 12.3, 33.0 +/- 10.4, 17.4 +/- 10.7, P<0.001) scores for FBSS, Sc, and ns-LBP groups, respectively. Patients with neuropathic pain (FBSS, Sc) had lower CPM (-14.8 +/- 1.9,-14.1 +/- 16.7, respectively) compared to ns-LBP (-25.4 +/- 16.6; P<0.02). 80.0% of the FBSS group had defective ICF compared to the other two groups (52.5% for ns-LBP, P=0.025 and 52.5% for Sc, P=0.046). MEPs (140%-rest motor threshold) were low in 50.0% of patients in the FBSS group com-pared to 20.0% of ns-LBP (P=0.018) and 15.0% of Sc (P=0.001) groups. Higher MEPs were corre-lated with mood scores (r=0.489), and with lower neuropathic pain symptom scores(r=-0.415) in FBSS.Conclusions: Different types of LBP were associated with different clinical, CPM and CE profiles, which were not uniquely related to the presence of neuropathic pain. These results highlight the need to further characterize patients with LBP in psychophysics and cortical neurophysiology studies.(c) 2023 The Author(s).

    Ultrasound-Guided In-Plane Interlaminar Lumbar Endoscopic Approach with Smartphone and Portable Light Source: Description of a New Surgical Technique
    (2022) CASTRO, Joao Paulo Souza de; BROCK, Roger Schmidt; TEIXEIRA, Manoel Jacobsen; FIGUEIREDO, Eberval Gadelha
    Introduction Endoscopic spine surgery enables the minimally invasive treatment of pathologies affecting the spinal cord and roots. Herein we describe an unprecedented technique Ultrasound-Guided in-plane interlaminar lumbar endoscopic approach with a smartphone and portable light source. Methods The interlaminar approach was performed in a cadaveric specimen at L4 to 5 and L5 to S1 bilaterally. A curvilinear 2 to 5 MHz ultrasound probe was employed, the puncture was performed with the needle, a guide wire was inserted until the flavum ligament, followed by the dilator and working cannula. A 30?degrees spinal endoscope, with an optical adapter of the endoscope camera for smartphone and portable endoscope lighting was inserted, the flavum ligament was visualized, and an opening in this site was performed with the scissors. Open dissection of the specimen was subsequently performed by identifying the puncture site in the interlaminar window. Results The four interlaminar punctures were successfully guided by ultrasound; the opening of the ligamentum flavum was performed in the most lateral part of the interlaminar space, near the junction of the superior and inferior articular processes of the corresponding vertebrae in all the punctures. Discussion The ultrasound makes possible to identify facets, foramina, transverse processes, and the interlaminar space. It is possible to minimize the use of radioscopy and its associated risks, both for patients and health professionals. Conclusions The ultrasound-guided, in-plane, interlaminar, lumbar endoscopic approach with smartphone-adapted endoscope and portable light source is feasible and practical, minimizing radiation risks and making it possible to perform endoscopic spinal surgery.
