Prevalence Of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis with Intermittent Neurogenic Claudication in Elderly Population.

Abstract

Background: Based on variations in diameter of spinal canal, earlier research assessed how an epidural steroid injection affected spinal stenosis. (13) This study provides data on 99 individuals older than 65 with transient neurogenic claudication.

This study will assist in determining the prevalence of intermittent neurogenic claudication in the individuals having stenosis of lumbar spine for a variety of causes.

Objectives: The aim of the study is to ascertain how common stenosis of lumbar spine and intermittent neurogenic claudication were in the senior population.

Methods: The cross-sectional survey that was conducted in Karad City served as the basis for this article. The intention of survey is to decide how common intermittent neurogenic claudication in elder individuals having stenosis of lumbar spine. Prior to conducting the survey, the ethical committee's approval was obtained. Patients were chosen based on inclusion and exclusion standards. With their permission, 99 elder individuals with stenosis of lumbar spine were participated in above study, and result was obtained by the statistician.

Result: In above study, we observed that 13% among those with lumbar canal stenosis are not experiencing neurogenic claudication symptoms, whereas 87% of individuals with stenosis of lumbar spine who are older than 65 show intermittent neurogenic claudication.

Conclusion: This study indicates that the overall prevalence of transient neurogenic claudication in individuals over 65 with stenosis of lumbar spine is 87%. Overactivity, sedentary lifestyle and aging can cause these problems.
