Does an intact facet capsular ligament modulate behavioral sensitivity and spinal glial activation produced by cervical facet joint tension?
Results suggest ligament tension may be required to produce pain from facet joint loading. Further studies of other cellular responses are needed to define the mechanisms of painful facet joint injury.
Patients with implanted pacemakers should if possible not use mobile phones in the C and D networks. Individual testing with suitable programming of pacemaker sensitivity and polarity can reduce the risk of interference.
