Abstract

Objectives: Apply the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) to assess pain and mobility limitations in patients with sciatica due to disc herniation and investigate the relationship between the Roland Morris scale and the image of spine injuries magnetic resonance and other clinical features.  Subjects: 68 inpatients treated at the Center of Rheumatology at Bach Mai Hospital, during the period from November 2021 to July 2022, with clinical symptoms of sciatica suggestive of disc herniation cushion and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine.  Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study. The patient underwent clinical examination, magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine, and assessed the degree of mobility restriction using RMDQ of 24 questions.  Results:, The mean RMDQ score was 16.94 ± 3.582, no RMDQ scores below 6 and above 21. The number of patients with RMDQ scores of 18 accounted for the highest percentage (20.6%). The difference in RMDQ score was statistically significant with p<0.05. The mean score of RMDQ increased as the degree of spinal stenosis increased, this difference was statistically significant with p<0.05. Conclusion: The Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire can be used to assess the severity of sciatica due to disc herniation. The mean score of RMDQ is related to the degree of spinal stenosis.
