Brief summary (from the registry)
Patients who applied to the Private Medar Hospital between February 2016 and February 2021 with chronic upper back pain and were diagnosed with Thoaracic Disc Herniatin (TDH) (with Thoracic vertebral MRI) and followed up for at least 1 year will be included in the study. Patients diagnosed with TDH were included in the medical treatment and/or physical therapy program. Before and after these treatment programs, the pain intensity of the patients was recorded with the visual analog scale (VAS). The number of patients who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic with chronic upper back pain between February 2016 and February 2021 will be researched, and the demographic characteristics of those diagnosed with TDH will be selected and recorded in their files, their pre- and post-treatment VAS scores, and the results will be analyzed statistically.
