Each spinal dorsal ramus arises from the spinal nerve and then divides into a medial and lateral branch. The medial branch supplies the tissues from the midline to the zygapophysial joint line and innervates two to three adjacent zygapophysial joints and their related soft tissues. The lateral branch innervates the tissues lateral to the zygapophysial joint line. The clinical pain presentations follow these anatomic distributions, which can be used for localizing the involved dorsal ramus. The diagnosis can be confirmed by performing a single dorsal ramus block that results in relief of pain and muscle spasm. Etiologically, any factor that stimulates the spinal dorsal ramus can cause low back pain, which is distinct from zygapophysial joint syndrome. Clinically, L1 and L2 are the most common sites of dorsal rami involvement. Treatment includes spinal dorsal ramus injection therapy and percutaneous neurotomy. Summarily, irritation of the spinal dorsal ramus system is a potential source of low back pain. Based on the anatomy and clinical presentation, the involved spinal dorsal ramus can be localized and treated.展开更多
目的:观察超声引导下内热针治疗脊神经后支源性腰痛的临床疗效。方法:2021年10月-2022年3月十堰市太和医院康复科收治的脊神经后支源性腰痛患者60例,随机分为两组,每组各30例。研究组采用超声引导腰脊神经后支支配区内热针治疗,对照组...目的:观察超声引导下内热针治疗脊神经后支源性腰痛的临床疗效。方法:2021年10月-2022年3月十堰市太和医院康复科收治的脊神经后支源性腰痛患者60例,随机分为两组,每组各30例。研究组采用超声引导腰脊神经后支支配区内热针治疗,对照组采用常规针刺疗法。行视觉模拟评分法(visual analog scale,VAS)、腰椎活动度评分评估两组患者在治疗后1 d、1周及6月的临床疗效,比较两组总有效率,并统计不良反应发生情况。结果:与对照组相比,研究组患者治疗后1周及6月后VAS评分显著降低(P<0.05);研究组治疗后6月腰椎活动度比对照组显著提高(P<0.05);研究组总有效率明显高于对照组(P<0.05)。两组患者均未见特殊并发症及不良反应。结论:超声引导下行内热针治疗能更有效地缓解疼痛,临床操作安全易行,疗效较好。展开更多
