To determine the impact of ethanol gel chemonucleolysis (EGCh) on the radiological picture of the treated intervertebral disc...
Results:
The results showed a decrease in the size of the protrusion and GI zone in the treated intervertebral disc. The presence of a high-intensity zone (HIZ) on baseline magnetic resonance imaging was found to be a good predictor of the timing and outcome of treatment, and an increase in disc height was observed in adjacent segments.
"I had been suffering from severe neck, shoulder, and right arm pain for a long time. Immediately after receiving the Discogel injection, seventy-five percent of my pain disappeared, and now, just one week after the injection, my pain has almost completely gone away."

"Until eight years ago, I used to suffer from sciatic pain for a long time. The fourth disc in my lower back was ruptured. My problem was so severe that the only recommended solution by doctors was to undergo surgery. However, by my own choice and after consulting with my doctor, I decided to use Discogel injection. After the Discogel injection, my pain disappeared, and now I have no pain at all. I exercise and climb the highest peaks in Iran."

Q: Is Discogel a medication?
A: No, Discogel is not a medication; rather, it is a liquid implant that transforms into a cotton-like consistency upon contact with water (inside the intervertebral disc).
Q: Is Discogel injection painful?
A: Discogel injection is generally not painful.
Q: Is the needle entry location determined based on the location of the damaged disc during Discogel injection?
A: No, if Discogel is properly injected into the nucleus pulposus, it will naturally find its way toward the damaged disc areas. In the lumbar region, it's advisable to enter the needle from the left side of the spinal column to reduce the risk of injuring adjacent organs...
