Filter by:Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) uses electrical signals to disrupt noxious signals arising from painful areas, thereby reducing pain perception. Successful SCS implants lead to a broad range of positive outcomes: 1) long-term pain can be expected to be reduced by at least by 50%; 2) quality of life as assessed by subjective measurements improves substantially; 3) patients can significantly reduce opioid medication intake.1 However, the impacts of SCS intervention on neuromuscular and biomechanical outcomes including gait and balance have not been fully explored. Fifty subjects with symptomatic leg pain and/or low back pain (LBP) who are deemed appropriate SCS candidates and are scheduled for surgery will undergo gait and balance analyses preoperatively as well as 6 weeks and 3 months post operatively. In addition, 50 control subjects having no pain will undergo 1 session of gait and balance assessment. Objective spine and lower extremity motion and neuromuscular control will be evaluated using dynamic surface EMG and a video motion capture system during functional evaluation. Also, explored will be the relationship of changes in gait and balance to psychosocial factors that have previously been shown to be correlated with SCS outcomes.
This study evaluates the Freedom SCS (spinal cord stimulation) System for the treatment of chronic back and leg pain. Patients who have been diagnosed with failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) will receive a stimulator device for treatment of their pain.
To explore the optimal stimulation parameters and locations for sub-perception programming in patients with previously implanted spinal cord stimulation systems for the treatment of chronic back and/or leg pain.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) using the Medtronic Specify® 5-6-5 multicolumn surgical lead plus optimal medical management (OMM) versus OMM alone in patients suffering from predominant low back pain due to failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS).
The goal of the study is to prove efficacy of instrumental chiropractic treatment for leg pain in juvenile athletes. A randomized placebo controlled clinical trial including juvenile athletes with functional impairment and pain in thigh, leg or foot is performed. Hypothesis: Instrumental chiropractic treatment with the "activator instrument "following the "activator methods" diagnostic evaluation should lead to significant improvement of complaints and functional impairment compared to the control group treated by a deactivated instrument following a sham evaluation protocol.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the acute and chronic efficacy of spinal cord stimulation using the Precision implantable neurostimulation device with the Artisan paddle electrode in patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) and associated primary or secondary back or lower extremity pain. There are significant numbers of patients with FBSS who have moderate to severe drug refractory pain. An optimal outcome will demonstrate that the Precision SCS device has significant effectiveness in reducing this pain resulting in improved quality of life and functional capacity.
