An observational study in Trigger Point Pain, Myofascial, sponsored by Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 30 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-08-25.
Sponsored by Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa · Observational
Our purpose is to determine the incidence of trigger points in patients who remain in a fixed position for a long time during lumbar disc herniation surgery.
The 110 participants between 30-70 years are chosen from patients who had lumbar disc herniation surgery. The trigger points are determined by manually palpating quadratus lumborum, iliocostalis lumborum, gluteus Maximus, gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, ve piriformis muscles before and after surgery. Data will be recorded on the patient assessment file and transferred to the computer and analyzed. Data analysis will be performed with SPSS.20.
478 studies on the registry are indexed under Intervertebral Disc Displacement; 104 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 110 is close to the median of 100 across 121 observational studies indexed under Intervertebral Disc Displacement.

The patients having lumbar disc herniation surgery
Exclusion Criteria:
The patients are positioned in a sitting and prone lying posture. Trigger points are discrete, local, hypersensitive spots located in a taut band of muscles. Palpation of the trigger point will cause elicitation pain over the affected area and radiation of pain toward a zone of reference and a local twitch response.

Time frame: Change from baseline (preoperative state) to postoperative first and third day
Visual Analog Scale
Pain will be assessed with Visual Analog Scale (VAS).The VAS is usually a horizontal line, 10 cm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end with "No Pain" (score of zero) on the left side up to "pain as bad as it could be" or the "worst imaginable pain" (Score of 100 \[100-mm scale\]) on the right side.The patient was asked to mark the line point that represented his or her current pain.
Time frame: Change from baseline (preoperative state) to postoperative first and third day
