Holmberg ST, Salvesen OO, Vangen-Lønne V, et al. - An observational multicenter study was conducted to assess variations in pain during sexual activity after surgery for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Researchers examined data from the Norwegian Registry for Spine Surgery. The primary endpoint included change in pain during sexual activity at one year, assessed by item number eight of the Oswestry disability index (ODI) questionnaire. ODI, EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D), and numeric rating scale (NRS) scores for back and leg pain were considered as secondary outcome measures. In this study, 12,103 (64.8%) completed 1-year follow-up among the 18,529 included patients. The outcomes of this research indicate that a large proportion of individuals undergoing surgery for LDH experienced an improvement in pain during sexual activity at 1 year.
