Results
The success rate at sixth month after treatments was statistically significant (χ2=31,31,
P<.001) in 106 patients( Responders 41,24% with extrusions) compared with 9 patients( Non responders 3,5% with the same discovertebral pathology)(95% CI: 64,1%,
84,4%) (Table 1).
Also in 89(Responders 34,6%) patients with protrusions the success rate at sixth month was statistically significant(χ2=25,43,
P<.001) compared with 5 patients( Non responders 1,9% with the same discovertebral pathology)(95% CI: 73,1%,
88,4%) (Table 1) .
Only in the presence of bulging disk,
the success rate was no statistically significant(P>.001) with 3 patients (Responders 1,16%) compared with 45 patients( Non responders 17,5%)(95% CI: 71,3%,
83,6%) (Table 1).
Statistically significant difference (P<.001) was also detected in the presence of High and Low dehydration and discal degeneration as shown in table 1 with the absence of degenerative discal aspects in 185 patients (Responders 71,9%) compared with 8 patients( Non responders 3,1%)(95% CI: 76,3%,
89,4%) and high disk degeneration and dehydration in 2 patients (Responders 0,7%) compared with 45 patients( Non responders 17,5%)(95% CI: 72,3%,
81,3%).
During or after the procedures,
no major or minor complications were observed.
