lactic acid and Neck Pain

lactic acid has been researched along with Neck Pain in 8 studies

Lactic Acid: A normal intermediate in the fermentation (oxidation, metabolism) of sugar. The concentrated form is used internally to prevent gastrointestinal fermentation. (From Stedman, 26th ed)
2-hydroxypropanoic acid : A 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is propanoic acid in which one of the alpha-hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group.

Neck Pain: Discomfort or more intense forms of pain that are localized to the cervical region. This term generally refers to pain in the posterior or lateral regions of the neck.

Trial Outcomes

Number of Participants With Radiographic Success at 24 Months

"Radiographic fusion was assessed at each operated level using the Bridwell fusion grading system:~Grade I (definite) - Fused with remodeling and trabeculae~Grade II (probable) - Graft intact, not fully remodeled and incorporated through, no lucencies~Grade III (probably not) - Graft intact, but definite lucency at the top or bottom of the graft~Grade IV (no) - Definitely not fused, with resorption of bone graft or collapse.~Radiographic success was defined as grade 1 or 2 fusion at every operated level at 24 months" (NCT02182843)
Timeframe: 24 Months

Change in NDI From Baseline

Neck Disability Index (NDI) is a patient-completed, condition-specific functional status questionnaire including pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation. Each of the 10 items is scored from 0 - 5, with a maximum score of 50. The obtained score is multiplied by 2 to produce a percentage score. A higher score indicates more patient-rated disability (0 points or 0% means : no activity limitations , 50 points or 100% means complete activity limitation). The minimal clinically important difference or change (MCID / MCIC) is described as the smallest difference or change that patients perceive as beneficial. In patients with cervical radiculopathy the MCID is 7 points of change ( 14%). In order to demonstrate improvement in status, the NDI would need to be reduced by at least 14%. (NCT02182843)
Timeframe: 12 months after device implantation
