Zusammenfassung
Ziel dieser Übersichtsarbeit war es, die Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit von Chemonukleolyse und intradiskaler Elektrotherapie (IDET) zur Behandlung von Patienten mit diskogenen Schmerzen auf Basis von rezent publizierten Daten zu Schmerzreduktion, Funktionalität und Komplikationsraten zu evaluieren. In mehreren Datenbanken wurde systematisch nach englisch- und deutschsprachigen Arbeiten, die zwischen 2003 und 2008 publiziert wurden, gesucht. Durch Handsuche wurden weitere Arbeiten identifiziert. Für die Darstellung der Evidenz wurden nur Ergebnisse aus systematischen Reviews und kontrollierten Studien berücksichtigt. Die Beurteilung der internen Validität der Arbeiten erfolgte durch 2 Autoren, unabhängig voneinander. Die Datenextraktion wurde von einem Autor durchgeführt, ein zweiter überprüfte die Vollständigkeit und Korrektheit der extrahierten Daten. Die Evidenz zur Wirksamkeit der Chemonukleolyse mit Chymopapain oder Kollagenase ist in 2 qualitativ hochwertigen rezenten systematischen Reviews zusammengefasst. Zur Nukleolyse mittels eines O 2O3-Gemischs konnten 5 kontrollierte Studien mit zum Teil eingeschränkter methodischer Qualität gefunden werden, die die Wirksamkeit des Verfahrens im Vergleich zur Mikrodiskektomie oder der Anwendung alternativer Substanzen zeigen. Es gibt kaum Daten zu Komplikationen der O 2O3-Nukleolyse. Die Autoren der 6 identifizierten systematischen Reviews zur IDET kommen zu unterschiedlichen Bewertungen der Wirksamkeit des Verfahrens. Auch die Ergebnisse aus den 3 eingeschlossenen kontrollierten Studien zur IDET, von denen 2 als qualitativ hochwertig zu betrachten sind, sind widersprüchlich. Die Komplikationsrate des Verfahrens liegt bei 0 – 15 %. Für die Chemonukleolyse liegen derzeit also überzeugendere Wirksamkeitsdaten vor als für die IDET. Dies könnte auch durch die klarere Indikationsstellung bedingt sein. Allerdings sollten Sicherheitsaspekte noch besser untersucht und in der Literatur präsentiert werden.
Abstract
We evaluated the efficacy and safety of chemonucleolysis and intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET) on the basis of the data presented in recently published papers with respect to pain relief, function, and complication rates. Detailed searches for English and German articles published between 2003 and 2008 were performed in a number of electronic databases. Further publications were identified by manual search. For summarizing the evidence, we considered only systematic reviews and controlled studies. The internal validity of reviews and studies was judged by two authors independently. Data extraction was performed by one author, and the extracted data was checked for completeness and correctness by a second author. The evidence of the efficacy of chemonucleolysis using chymopapain or collagenase is summarized in two recent, high-quality systematic reviews. We found 5 controlled studies evaluating nucleolysis using an oxygen-ozone mixture (O2O3-nucleolysis). Some of those studies were of limited methodological quality, but all showed the efficacy of O 2O3-nucleolysis in comparison to microdiscectomy or the use of alternative substances. There is hardly any data regarding O 2O3-nucleolysis complications. Regarding IDET, the authors of the 6 identified systematic reviews come to different conclusions about the efficacy of the procedure. The results of the 3 included controlled IDET studies, of which 2 are of high methodological quality, are also conflicting. The complication rates range from 0 to 15 %. In summary, the evidence of efficacy is presently more compelling for chemonucleolysis than for IDET. This may also be because indications for chemonucleolysis are more firmly established. However, safety aspects should be better evaluated and presented in the literature.
