A summary of some of the recently published, seminal papers in neuroscience

The authors evaluated the impact of short (2‐week) versus long (6‐week) post‐operative restrictions following lumbar discectomy on outcomes and reherniation for 1 year after surgery. This study included 108 patients who underwent lumbar discectomy, and they were randomized immediately following surgery between short and long postoperative restriction. There was no difference in the reherniation rates between short and long postoperative restriction groups (11% vs 7%, P = 0.52). Six patients (11%) in the 2‐week restriction group and four patients (7%) in the 6‐week restriction group had reherniation (P = 0.52). All the clinical measures, including VAS back pain, leg pain and ODI scores significantly improved for both cohorts as compared to baseline at the 2‐week time point and remained significantly improved through 1‐year. There were no significant differences in ODI, VAS back, or VAS leg scores between the 2‐ and 6‐week restriction groups. The results of this randomized trial suggest equivalent clinical outcomes irrespective of the length of post‐ operative restriction. The authors concluded that there was no significant difference in outcomes after lumbar discectomy between short and long postoperative restriction cohorts.
