Filter by:Opioid overuse is a widespread public health crisis in the United States with increasing rates of addiction and overdose deaths from prescription opioids. Reducing the need for opiate analgesics in the post-operative setting has become a high priority in minimizing long-term opioid use in surgical patients. This study will serve to demonstrate the efficacy of the addition of regional analgesic techniques in reducing post-operative opioid requirements in patients undergoing common lumbar spinal surgical procedures.
This study is designed to evaluate clinical outcomes and spine fusion rates for patients undergoing transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion using the CONDUIT 3D printed titanium TLIF cage.
Modic changes have been associated with low back pain in many clinical studies and are often considered a part of the disc degeneration process. Modic type 1 change is considered an inflammatory process. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections in Modic type-1 changes.
This is a prospective, multi-center study of subjects who will undergo spinal fusion surgery utilizing Stryker Interbody Systems that require post market clinical follow up (PMCF). The primary study hypothesis for each system is that the mean change in NDI (cervical) or ODI (lumbar) from baseline to Month 12 < -10, that is, the mean improvement exceeds 10 points. In supporting analysis, the same hypotheses will be tested for mean change from baseline to 24 months to demonstrate durability of effectiveness.
The aim of the present study is to find out whether fusion of multilevel SPECT/CT positive lumbar degeneration leads to a significant improvement of pain and disability.
This is a post-market clinical follow-up study that use questionnaires such as Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Neck Disability Index (NDI), or the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) to compare the clinical improvement effects before and after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to systematically, prospectively compare surgical fusion techniques for thoracolumbar spinal fusion patients and assess long-term patient outcomes and revision rates following surgery.
The primary objective of this study is to measure the success rate of lumbar fusion in subjects at 12 months when instrumented lumbar arthrodesis is performed using OssiMend Bioactive Moldable as the bone grafting material
The aim of the trial is the comparison of the effectiveness of two methods of Orthokine administration (periradicular or epidural) in lumbar degenerative disc disease.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and the efficacy of an hydrogel (double cross-link microgel - DXM) injection into the intervertebral disc (IVD) space in patients with painful lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) over 24 to 48 weeks.
