I will use this article in order to show the relevance of the sciatic nerve in many

back L4 and L5 pain treatments in the lower back. Such implementation can cure chronic

back pain for war victims and others worldwide as stated in my other annotated

bibliographies. This idea adds to the fundamental research that thrusts this idea of

utilizing the sciatic nerve through a clinical study conducted by a professor of health

technology in order to find new and alternate methods of treatments in different cohorts

in order to limit the overall pain of the herniated disk or overall experience. This source

was very helpful in order of showing different perspective the sciatic nerve can take place

in, highlighting the importance of such nerve. This technique of numbing the sciatica

nerve is an outlook I plan to look into, when placed into other categorizes as well. My

goal is to see how effective this technique will be in helping chronic back pain in all

humans, especially those in surgery. I can make use of this source in my implementation

section of my paper as I am attempting to find research that can make use of biomedical

technology in order to hinder overall pain. A quick summary of the paper is that it is a

clinical study that makes use of qualitative data in an experiment that separated people

into different cohorts such as one that smokes and that is over 50 while another group is

over 25 for example. The researchers extrapolate their findings, but cannot make clear

conclusions since it was not repeated again since 2007. The experiment took place in

England and was peer reviewed.

 This source added to the vast knowledge of the implementation of sciatica nerve

as a way to find a novel solution. It fits directly into my research since it is related to the

sciatica nerve. My research will parallel this type of research since it exactly aligns with

my prototype to significantly reduce pain that occurs due to the sciatica nerve.
