lidocaine and Sciatica

lidocaine has been researched along with Sciatica in 30 studies

Lidocaine: A local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmia agent. Its actions are more intense and its effects more prolonged than those of PROCAINE but its duration of action is shorter than that of BUPIVACAINE or PRILOCAINE.
lidocaine : The monocarboxylic acid amide resulting from the formal condensation of N,N-diethylglycine with 2,6-dimethylaniline.

Sciatica: A condition characterized by pain radiating from the back into the buttock and posterior/lateral aspects of the leg. Sciatica may be a manifestation of SCIATIC NEUROPATHY; RADICULOPATHY (involving the SPINAL NERVE ROOTS; L4, L5, S1, or S2, often associated with INTERVERTEBRAL DISK DISPLACEMENT); or lesions of the CAUDA EQUINA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A 75% to 100% reduction of the low back pain was experienced by 13 patients, and a 75% to 100% reduction of the radiating pain was experienced by 16 patients within 60 seconds after the intradiskal injection of lidocaine."3.69Radiating pain to the lower extremities caused by lumbar disk rupture without spinal nerve root involvement. ( Breton, G; Fontaine, S; Lepanto, L; Milette, PC, 1995)
"A 51-year-old male with a huge chondrosarcoma received subarachnoid dorsal root blocks with 10% phenol in glycerine to treat severe pain along the left leg."3.68A low frequency, high amplitude rhythmic fluctuation of laser-Doppler skin blood flow after subarachnoid phenol block. ( Gotou, K; Kano, T; Morioka, T; Shimoda, O, 1993)
"To analyze the effect of lidocaine on postoperative pain relief, we performed compression of the right sciatic nerve in Wistar rats and observed the differences on behavior between the group that received lidocaine and the group that was not treated with the local anesthetics pre-operatively."1.35Preemptive analgesic effect of lidocaine in a chronic neuropathic pain model. ( Almeida, JP; Batista, IM; Batista, LM; Carvalho, CH; Castro-Costa, CM; Castro-Costa, SB, 2009)
"The cause of sciatica has been studied by blocking spinal nerves of the lumbosacral plexus in intervertebral foramina."1.26Spinal nerve block. A diagnostic test in sciatica. ( Jussila, P; Wilppula, E, 1977)

Trial Outcomes

Functional Status Assessed by Oswestry Disability Index

ODI (Oswestry disability index) consists of 10 subscales, which evaluates pain intensity, and functional satus of personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex, social life, traveling. Each subscales range from 0 to 5, with the higher score indicating more severe functional damage. the ODI score ranges from 0 to 100. it equals the sum of all the subscales and divided by 50. If the patients answers 9 subscale questions, then the total sum should be divided by 45, and by this analogy. (NCT03101033)
