Filter by:The objective of this study is to investigate and utilize spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as an effective approach to eliciting weight loss and potentially alleviating Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), as evidenced by increasing metabolism of adipose tissue.
This study is designed to explore if the valve-gated pump requires less drug to manage subject pain than the prior standard peristaltic pump in the same subject. The newly implanted valve-gated pump will be programmed to deliver a minimum dose reduction of 20% of the same medication that was delivered in the peristaltic pump prior to explant. The drug therapy will be evaluated and pain scores will be evaluated over time (3 refill cycles prospectively for the valve-gated pump and 6 months retrospectively for the peristaltic pump).
Patient anxiety prior to invasive procedures poses a significant barrier to successful treatment if not well-managed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate lavender aromatherapy, a non-sedating alternative, to reduce anxiety prior to interventional spinal procedures.
The main objective is to quantify changes in diffusion and perfusion in the intervertebral disc and adjacent spinal muscle tissue of a spinal segment receiving a spinal manipulative or control intervention using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) (DWI, used for quantifying diffusion) and intravoxel incoherent motion MRI (IVIM, used for quantifying perfusion). Additional objectives are to test if clinical parameters such as pain and disability, radiological parameters, or pain-related inflammatory parameters in venous blood have predictive value in relation to these perfusion and diffusion effects, and if these effects correlate to clinical outcome. An additional objective is to test the repeatability of IVIM-MRI in assessing perfusion changes in musculoskeletal tissue, and, as a positive control, assessing diurnal changes in perfusion and diffusion parameters in spinal tissue of healthy controls.
This study will examine the accuracy of an ultrasound-guided L5 dorsal ramus block technique.
This is a prospective, multi-center, post market study to evaluate Intrathecal (IT) preservative-free morphine sulfate (PFMS) using the SynchroMed™ II infusion system as an alternative to systemic opioids for the treatment of chronic, intractable, non-malignant primary back pain with or without leg pain.
This study will be conducted in the Department of physical therapy, College of Applied Medical Sciences,Jazan University, to investigate text neck syndrome and hand grip force in smart phone addiction among students of jazan university
To determine if Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) would result in positive clinical changes in patients presenting with acute or sub-acute low back pain (LBP).
This pilot study established a minimally invasive biopsy technique to obtain high-quality MTrP tissue samples to evaluate mitochondrial function via high-resolution respirometry.
This study is a prospective, single-arm, open label, single center to confirm the effectiveness and safety of an ultra-high frequency (500 KHz) spinal cord stimulation in patients with chronic back pain or lower limb pain.
