Impact of Epidural Anesthesia on Low Back Function

NCT04759963 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 38

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Back pain is a common complication after the use of epidural anesthesia in obstetric and non-obstetric surgeries and occurs in 30-45% of cases (Brown, 2005). Certain psychological problems such as depression or unhappiness due to loss of employment may prolong the episode of low back pain (Miller, 2012). According to Egyptian Institution of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), Low Back Pain is the first cause of disability in Egypt from 2007 to 2017.

So, this study will investigate if midline approach of obstetric epidural anaesthesia will be a relative risk for subacute low back mechanical functions as a new way to examine if this type of anaesthesia is involved in the presence of subacute negative effects on the mechanical function of low back or not (to resolve the controversy).
