Pressure
Intradiscal Pressure Study of Percutaneous
Disc Decompression with Nucleoplasty in
Human Cadavers.
Y. Chen, S. Lee and D. Chen
SPINE, (2003) 28: 661-665
Key Point
Reduced pressure from 26 to 0 PSI.
Analysis
• Intradiscal pressure measured in human
cadavers
• Procedure showed immediate and dramatic
reduction of pressure in healthy
non degenerate discs
• Clear evidence after just two channels
Outcome
• Viable, effective and safe treatment for
lower back pain resulting from disc
disease
