Summary

This study investigates the efficacy and safety of Sodium Hyaluronate gel combined with Sodium Bicarbonate compared to Sodium Bicarbonate alone in preventing Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) and epidural fibrosis after lumbar spine surgery. Will be conducted at Souad Kafafi University Hospital, this randomized controlled trial will involve 60 patients aged 18-70 years scheduled for lumber laminectomy (L4-5 or L5- S1).

60 Patients will be divided into three groups: Group A (n=20) receiving Sodium Hyaluronate and Sodium Bicarbonate , Group B (n=20) receiving Sodium Bicarbonate alone, and Group C (n=20) will be served as the control with saline and local anesthetic. Outcomes will be measured through MRI assessments of epidural fibrosis, pain scores, and satisfaction ratings at 3 and 6 months post-surgery.

Conditions

  • Postdiscectomy Epidural Fibrosis
  • Pain

Interventions

DRUG

Sodium hyaluronate jell

sodium hyaluronate gel was used to decrease or prevent tissue lyres adhesion after surgery

DRUG

Sodium Bicarbonate

sodium bicarbonate decreases tissue acidosis and so it decreases fibrosis

DRUG

Saline

saline 0.9% is a placebo
