Description: Decompression external to the body, most often the slow lessening of external pressure on the whole body (especially in caisson workers, deep sea divers, and persons who ascend to great heights) to prevent DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS. It includes also sudden accidental decompression, but not surgical (local) decompression or decompression applied through body openings.

1.	Pain (Aches) 09/01/2005 - "Subjective pain perception and objective sensibility were significantly improved in most patients who underwent the described decompression. " 05/01/2000 - "All patients showed immediate relief of pain after surgery and the average duration of symptoms with conservative treatment could be dramatically reduced by core decompression from 6 months down to 2 months. " 01/01/1983 - "The different symptoms are unequally improved by the decompression: root pain is the best relieved (69 p. " 01/01/1978 - "The best results have been obtained in atypical sciatic pain when facet rhizolysis has been associated with root decompression. " 08/01/2008 - "Despite the technical success of endoscopic procedures, surgical duct decompression has proven to be superior for relief from pancreatitic pain.

2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 07/01/1996 - "Modern diagnostic imaging techniques and new methods for anterior and posterior decompression and reconstruction of the bony spinal column have dramatically improved the surgeon's ability to treat malignant tumors of the adult bony spine. " 07/01/2004 - "While complete surgical resection remains the only hope of cure in both these cancers, palliative biliary decompression and chemotherapy result in substantial improvement in quality of life. " 06/01/2004 - "While complete surgical resection remains the only hope of cure in both these cancers, palliative biliary decompression and chemotherapy result in substantial improvement in quality of life. " 07/01/2002 - "CONCLUSIONS: In our experience with 26 patients who developed a complete bowel obstruction as a consequence of a malignant tumor, placement of colonic stents to achieve immediate nonoperative decompression proved to be both safe and effective. " 03/26/2001 - "We concluded that: (1) radiotherapy after HBO breathing is effective for tumors with hypoxic cells; and (2) the time lapse from decompression to irradiation is an important factor in improving radiosensitivity.

3.	Trigeminal Neuralgia (Tic Douloureux) 03/01/2002 - "Trigeminal neuralgia is known to be caused by vascular compression at the trigeminal root entry zone (REZ) and microvascular decompression provides good outcome in most of cases. " 04/25/1996 - "Microvascular decompression is a safe and effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, with a high rate of long-term success." 01/01/2008 - "Microvascular decompression (MVD) is an effective form of surgery for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN), and is superior to other procedures utilized in the treatment of this condition. " 04/01/2009 - "OBJECT: Microvascular decompression (MVD) is an effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). " 12/01/2003 - "Gamma knife treatment for trigeminal neuralgia has been shown to be effective and less invasive than microvascular decompression, and is useful for cases resistant to conventional therapies and as an initial treatment as well."

4.	Optic Nerve Diseases (Optic Neuropathy) 02/01/1997 - "Orbital decompression has most commonly been performed for optic neuropathy, but with improved techniques, more patients are undergoing decompression for other indications. " 04/01/2005 - "CONCLUSION: Endoscopic medial orbital decompression is very effective in resolving compressive optic neuropathy. " 11/01/1990 - "Finally, we propose that optic nerve sheath decompression may be effective for what appear to be very different optic neuropathies because the operation may reverse optic nerve ischaemia, a common pathophysiologic feature of all these disorders." 08/01/2007 - "CONCLUSION: Endoscopic optic nerve decompression appears to be an effective treatment for restoring visual acuity in select patients who present with compressive optic neuropathy." 10/01/2005 - "CONCLUSIONS: Orbital decompression is a safe procedure and effective in improving vision in compressive optic neuropathy.

5.	Spinal Cord Diseases 04/15/1997 - "To prevent unrecoverable myelopathy, early detection and anterior decompression with posterior C1-C2 skeletal fixation and bony fusion are the best treatment methods." 03/15/2009 - "RESULTS: The MRI at 1 month after surgical treatment (occipito-spinal fusion with the decompression by enlargement of foramen magnum) revealed complete vanishment of the vast high intensity lesion at the craniocervical junction, which remained undetected at the 2 years and 8 months follow-up and corresponded with improvement in the clinical symptoms of myelopathy. " 01/01/2009 - "Decompression surgery appears to be helpful in patients with cervical myelopathy, but the significant risks may outweigh the unknown benefit in asymptomatic individuals. " 03/01/1996 - "CONCLUSIONS: 1) Multilevel anterior cervical decompression and fusion produced a significant improvement in the motor function of patients with cervical spondylitic myelopathy. " 05/15/2008 - "SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Since posterior decompressive laminectomy is not always effective in the treatment of thoracic myelopathy caused by OPLL, circumferential spinal cord decompression through a single posterior approach seems to offer an effective treatment option.
