This study explores a new treatment for back pain using injections made from amniotic membrane and umbilical cord tissue (AMUC). The aim was to see if these injections could reduce pain in people with different spinal problems. The study looked back at the medical records of 52 patients who had AMUC injections for their back pain. Researchers checked how the patients' pain levels changed after the injections. The results showed that the AMUC injections did seem to help reduce pain in these patients. The researchers believe this treatment could be a promising option for people suffering from spinal pain.
AMUC injections offer a potential non-opioid alternative for managing chronic back pain, reducing reliance on medications with significant side effects.
Reduction in pain allows patients to return to activities of daily living and work, improving their overall quality of life.
AMUC's anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative properties provide a biological approach to repairing spinal joint tissues.
