Résumé

The prevalence of post-surgical lumbar neuropathic radiculopathy is approximately 30%. Poor response to the recommended treatments for neuropathic pain, namely antidepressants and/or gabapentinoids, requires the development of new techniques to prevent chronic pain. One such well-tolerated technique is the administration of autologous plasma enriched in platelets and fibrin (PRF). This approach is largely used in regenerative medicine owing to the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of PRF. It could also be an interesting adjuvant to surgery, as it reduces neurogenic inflammation and promotes nerve recovery, thereby reducing the incidence of residual postoperative chronic pain. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the benefit of periradicular intraoperative application of PRF on the residual postsurgical neuropathic pain after disc herniation surgery.
