Brief Summary

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

This study aims to show the association between the Interleukin-1β (rs 1143627 T/C) gene polymorphism and the patient's pain level, radiological features, functional disability, and spinal flexibility.

Detailed Description

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

Background: Lumbar disc degeneration (LDD), a complex process characterized by phenotypic and genotypic changes, causes low back pain.

Aims: This study aims to show the association between the Interleukin-1β (rs 1143627 T/C) gene polymorphism and the patient's pain level, radiological features, functional disability, and spinal flexibility.

Method: A hospital-based case-control study included 50 LDD patients and 44 healthy controls. In this study, Taqman allelic discrimination analysis was performed for the genotype of the Interleukin-1β (rs 1143627 T/C) gene polymorphism. Differences in Interleukin-1β allele frequencies and genotypes were evaluated between patients and controls. Relationships between allele presence/genotype and disease risk are reported as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The Pfirrmann classification was used to grade the level of disc degeneration on MRI scans, and the McNab's classification was used to classify disc displacements. The pain levels of the patient group were evaluated with VAS and their functional disability with ODI. Spinal flexibility was evaluated using the Modified Schober method and a digital inclinometer.

Lumbar degenerative disc disease

The case group was made of 50 patients, 24 women (48%) and 26 men (52%) with several clinical symptoms suggestive of LDD and the condition confirmed by MRI.

No interventions assigned to this group

Healthy
