Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Interventions

Manual palpation for incidence determination

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.
