根據世界衛生組織的調查,每年約有15-45%不等的人口受下背痛所苦。僅只是英國,因為下背痛而直接與間接造成的經濟損失就超過 1 億英鎊(約 40 億台幣)。除了造成疼痛、肢體痠麻外,通常也會造成日常生活上的不便,因此許多人就選擇動手術來解決疼痛。
也許你會問『 為什麼 已經開刀”解決“脊椎壓迫,為什麼 還會 麻呢?』或『已經把出問題的關節 換 成人工關節,為什麼
還會 痛呢?』。這種症狀沒有改善或是手術後才出現疼痛等問題時,就會被稱為一一脊椎手術失敗症候群 (Failed Back Surgery
Syndrome, FBSS )。
脊椎手術失敗症候群
目前對脊椎手術失敗症候群的定義是: 在開刀的位置或相關聯的區域有疼痛,不論是手術後才出現或原有背痛未改善的,就稱為脊椎手術失敗症候群。( Lumbar spinal pain of unknown origin either persisting despite
surgical intervention or appearing after surgical intervention for spinal pain
originally in the same topographical location. )
而隨著手術的種類和診斷的不同,發生率從 5-36 % 不等。可能原因包含手術的技術、診斷的精確 、手術成果上的落差和手術前的心理狀態等。值得一提的是,在此類型的人身上可以發現一個有趣的現象:
背痛問題 ( 特別是已經持續疼痛一段時間 )單靠手術似乎是不夠的!
從手術前到開刀後......
從研究發現,慢性下背痛的人普遍有 對疼痛的過度反應和害怕活動 的問題。因此,除了手術前的疼痛教育與復健外,開刀後的動作訓練都是減少脊椎手術失敗症候群出現的方法!
而對於已經開過刀,仍然有背痛、痠麻等問題的人來說,能接受妥善的評估找出持續疼痛的原因,並採取對應的活動訓練
有助於
擺脫 持續性的疼痛或痠麻問題!
