Brief summary
The objective of this research study is to show whether data given by Oura ring could be used to objectively measure patients pain and well-being before and after disc surgery.
Detailed description
The study will consist of a total 30 disc prolapse patients. Patients are given Oura rings along with other treatment. Patients use Oura rings before and after disc surgery. Patients will also fill Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and pain detect inquiries in the beginning and in the end of study. Patients symptoms will also be followed daily by electrical symptom diary. Oura rings technology is based on photoplethysmography( PPG). PPG is a noninvasive method to detect blood volume changes in the microvascular bed of tissue. PPG waveform varies by respiration, sympathetic nervous system activity and thermoregulation. Oura ring gives information of patients activity level, calorie consumption, steps count, resting heart rate,heart rate variability, respiration rate, body temperature, sleep depth and quality of sleep. Data collected with Oura ring after disc surgery will be compared to data collected before surgery.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in symptoms based on symptom diary | prior surgery and one month after surgery | Daily symptom diary kept by patient |
| Change in total sleep time | comparison of mean value prior to surgery and one month after surgery | collected from oura ring |
| Change in sleep stages (awake, light sleep, deep sleep and rem sleep) | comparison of mean value prior to surgery and one month after surgery | percentages of each sleep stages collected from oura ring |
| Change in heart rate variability | comparison of mean value prior to surgery and one month after surgery | collected from Oura ring |
| Change in resting mean heart rate | comparison of mean value prior to surgery and one month after surgery | collected from Oura ring |
| Change in ventilatory rate | comparison of mean value prior to surgery and one month after surgery | collected from oura ring |
| Change in sleep onset latency | comparison of mean value prior to surgery and one month after surgery | collected from oura ring |
| Change in sleep efficiency | comparison of mean value prior to surgery and one month after surgery | percentage of the time spent asleep while in bed collected from oura ring |
| Change in number of nighttime awakenings | comparison of mean value prior to surgery and one month after surgery | collected from oura ring |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in pain questionnaire | one month prior surgery and one month after surgery | Descriptive questionnaire |
| Change in BDI questionnaire points | one month prior surgery and one month after surgery | BECK Depression Inventory (Scale 1-63, higher scores mean a worse outcome) |
