Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the role of needle electromyography of paraspinal muscle in patients with lumbosacral disc herniation. Subjects and methods: A total of 108 patients who underwent physical examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electrodiagnostic study (EDX) for diagnosis as lumbosacral disc herniation (radiculopathy) from Jan 2017 to Nov 2019 at Viet Tiep friendship hospital. Results: Mean age: 60,2 ± 13,7. Rate male/ female: 1/1,16. The clinical features of lumbosacral spinal syndrome: spinal pain in L5 point: 96,3%, Schober index < 14/10: 99,1%. The clinical features of lumbosacral radiculopathy syndrome: Lasègue sign: 100%, sensation disorder in L4 – L5 root: 60,2% and 93,5%. ODI average: 54,1 ± 9,4 ( 3rd lever: 76,9%). The features of needle electromyography: the evaluation radiculopathy in these patients have sensitivity and specificity in needle electromyography of paraspinal muscle are higher than of peripheral muscle groups. Conclusions: The important role of needle electromyography of paraspinal muscle in patients with lumbosacral disc herniation, specially in the early part.
