Spinal stenosis is "narrowing of the spinal canal."[1][2] Spinal stenosis is a cause of low back pain.
Cause/etiology
One cause is spondylolisthesis.
Diagnosis
A clinical prediction rule exists to help diagnose spinal stenosis based on the history and physical.[3]
According to a systematic review by the Rational Clinical Examination: [4] The most useful symptoms for increasing the likelihood of spinal stenosis are:
- Having no pain when seated (LR, 7.4; 95% CI, 1.9-30)
- Improvement of symptoms when bending forward (LR, 6.4; 95% CI, 4.1-9.9)
- Bilateral buttock or leg pain (LR, 6.3; 95% CI, 3.1-13)
- Neurogenic claudication (LR, 3.7; 95% CI, 2.9-4.8)
The most useful symptoms for decreasing the likelihood of spinal stenosis are:
- Absence of neurogenic claudication (LR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.17-0.31)
Treatment
Steroid injections
According to a randomized controlled trial, steroid injections do not provide meaningful benefit.[5]
Surgery
Surgery may improve outcome at two years in patients with spinal stenosis not from spondylolisthesis according to the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT) randomized controlled trial.[6] This may be cost-effective.[7]
Surgery may improve outcome at two years in patients with spondylolisthesis according to the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT) randomized controlled trial.[8]
