Associations of socioeconomic and lifestyle characteristics, psychological symptoms, multimorbidity, and multisite pain with sciatica – A 15-year longitudinal study
Sciatica is defined as pain radiating from the low back to the leg, usually below the knee. Depending on the definition of sciatica, its prevalence varies considerably, ranging from 1.6% to 43% [1], being 3.8% among middle-aged working individuals in the Health 2000 Survey in Finland [2]. The most common cause of sciatica is a herniated disc compressing the lumbar nerve root [3], and the highest prevalence of symptomatic disc herniations is among males aged 30 to 50 [4]. Sciatica is a major cause of prolonged work disability, and it causes a higher burden to health care systems than non-specific low back pain [5]. (Source: The Spine Journal)

Cauda equina syndrome
Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2023 Dec 5;84(11):1-7. doi: 10.12968/hmed.2023.0012.ABSTRACTCauda equina syndrome is an uncommon but serious cause of lower back pain resulting from compression of the cauda equina nerve roots, most commonly by lumbar disc herniation. Red flag symptoms, such as bladder dysfunction, saddle anaesthesia and sciatica, should lead to high clinical suspicion of cauda equina syndrome. The British Association of Spinal Surgeons has published an updated standard of care for these patients because of the potentially debilitating effects of missed cases of cauda equina syndrome. This review summarises these stan...

Combined Rehabilitation with Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Resveratrol, and Cholecalciferolin Discogenic Sciatica in Young People: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Conclusions: The combined treatment of rehabilitation and supplements with anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and antioxidant action is effective in the treatment of sciatica and can be useful in improving postural stability.PMID:38138300 | DOI:10.3390/medicina59122197 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

Isolated Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis of the Sciatic Nerve: A Case Report and Overview of the Literature
We report a case of a 45-year-old woman who experienced a three-year-long and recently exacerbating pain in her right leg, accompanied by a tingling sensation and weakness in her right leg and foot, with difficulty walking. In between regular menstrual bleedings, when her aforementioned symptoms worsened, she had been experiencing mild 10-day extra-cyclical bleeding. Her neurologist's, orthopedist's, and gynecological examinations were unremarkable. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an infiltrative lesion on the right sciatic nerve that was immunohistochemically confirmed to be endometriosis. The patient was treated ...
