Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is the most common spinal disorder among which disc sequestration is a severe type where the herniated disc fragment migrates and is completely separated from the parent disc. A 46-year-old female patient with severe lower back pain radiating to right lower limb, disability, and numbness in the affected extremity came to Panchakarma O.P.D of our hospital. She was a chronic case of disc sequestration where her symptoms were severely aggravated after a sudden jolt felt on her lower back while traveling on a motorcycle. The patient's Oswestry disability index (ODI) score was 90 % which indicates a bed-bound condition and even Schobar's test indicated a severe reduction in lumbar flexion capability. MRI showed postero-central herniation with disc sequestration at L5-S1 caused compression on the subarachnoid space and traversing S1 nerve roots. She was treated according to Ayurveda treatment principles and underwent Panchakarma like medicated enema (Basti) and fomentation of a lumbosacral region with oil (Kati Basti). She also received different oral medications on successive follow-ups. After 6 months of Ayurveda treatment, the patient showed remission in lower back pain (LBP), radiculopathy, and numbness. Her ODI score was reduced to 6 %. The MRI repeated post-treatment showed complete interval resolution of disc sequestration and no neurological compression was observed.
腰椎间盘突出症(LDH)是最常见的脊柱疾病,其中椎间盘游离是一种严重类型,即突出的椎间盘碎片发生移位并与母椎间盘完全分离。一名46岁女性患者因严重的下背部疼痛放射至右下肢、功能障碍以及患侧肢体麻木前来我院潘查卡玛门诊就诊。她是一名椎间盘游离的慢性病患者,在骑摩托车出行时下背部突然受到震动后,症状严重加重。患者的奥斯维斯特残疾指数(ODI)评分为90%,表明其需卧床,甚至肖巴尔试验也显示腰椎前屈能力严重下降。磁共振成像(MRI)显示L5 - S1节段中央后位椎间盘突出伴椎间盘游离,导致蛛网膜下腔和S1神经根受压。她按照阿育吠陀治疗原则接受治疗,并接受了诸如药物灌肠(巴斯蒂)和腰骶部油疗(卡蒂巴斯蒂)等潘查卡玛疗法。在后续连续随访中,她还接受了不同的口服药物治疗。经过6个月的阿育吠陀治疗,患者的下背部疼痛(LBP)、神经根病和麻木症状有所缓解。她的ODI评分降至6%。治疗后复查的MRI显示椎间盘游离完全消失,未观察到神经受压情况。
