This study is about the pathophysiology and treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. Patients suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis may have the symptoms like radiating pain in back pain and neurogenic claudication. For the treatment of this kind of problem, the outcome can be the same for both non-surgical and surgical treatments. With this kind of treatment, there is a chance for short-term improvement in the symptoms, and for the surgery cases, the fall risk can be expected to be decreased. The surgical treatment is mainly decompression. A combination of other treatments can also be added to measure the degree of decompression and instability. In recent studies, it has been found that minimally invasive surgery provides excellent outcomes for treating patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
Therefore it is being observed that if the pathophysiology and the methods of treatment can be understood properly, then better treatment ideas and effects can be expected for treating lumbar spinal stenosis. Researchers are also continuing their studies regarding more treatment methods for treating lumbar spinal stenosis using modern technology and advanced types of equipment. It can be hoped that easier methods of treating lumbar spinal stenosis will be found in the future.
