Filter by:The goal of the study is to establish the safety and benefit of treatment of juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with the SCOLI-TETHER (MIScoli) System.
In the field of Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD), there are currently no standardized protocols for preoperative, intraoperative or post-operative care. New standards are being created for minimally invasive spine surgery within orthopedics and some neurosurgical centers. This study will evaluate the efficacy of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol for complex spine surgery performed for the treatment of ASD.
The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes of patients with degenerative disc disease undergo lumbar spinal fusion with Stryker's Tritanium® Posterior Lumbar Cage or the UniLIF PEEK implant.
This study will determine whether vertebral body tethering is a safe and feasible method of treatment for pediatric idiopathic scoliosis.
The Effect of Flexible Thoracolumbar Brace on Idiopathic Scoliosis, Prospective, Randomized, Open-label Trial
In North America, children and adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) are rarely referred for a rehabilitation program whereas the European guidelines stated that scientific evidences concerning scoliosis specific physiotherapy exercises were strong enough to recommend the use of these exercises at an early stage. The objectives of this pilot study is to assess feasibility of conducting a larger randomized control trial (RCT) on the effect of global postural re-education (GPR) on scoliosis progression (Cobb angle) and posture, back pain and participation and to assess the equivalence of two groups of GPR interventions. A convenience sample of 60 adolescents with IS (Cobb angle 15º-50º, Risser sign ≤3) will be recruited at CHU Sainte-Justine. Participants will be randomly allocated to GPR-A (individual sessions once a week) or GPR-B (individual sessions once per two weeks alternately with class exercises once per two weeks) for 6 months. After 6 months, groups will be interchanged for another 6 months. Feasibility outcomes will be recruitment rate, consent rate, completion rate and adherence to treatment at 12 months. The primary outcome of the effect of GPR will be the Cobb angle. Secondary outcomes will be: posture, back pain and participation at 6 and 12 months. Statistical analyses: For feasibility, percentage of eligible patients recruited, percentage of recruited patients who completed the trial and adherence to treatment will be calculated. For the preliminary effects of GPR, linear mixed-models will be used to assess differences in groups' changes from baseline, to 6 and 12-month while adjusting for covariates (age, Risser, adherence). Separate analyses will be conducted for each outcome.
The overall goal of this proposal is to determine if quantitative sensory testing (QST) assessing pain modulation can be used as a clinical tool to optimize perioperative pain management. The central hypothesis is that the identification of patient's sensory pain profile allows personalizing therapeutic approaches to improve individualized pain management and thus prevents pain chronicity.
Retro-prospective study allowing inclusion of patients with spinal deformities treated by patient-specific rods (UNiD). This study aims to assess performance, clinical outcomes and safety
The long-term goal of this study is to optimize the perioperative care of pediatric spinal deformity patients, minimizing perioperative complications and increasing cost-effectiveness of perioperative hematologic management. The objective of the proposed study, which is the initial step in pursuit of this goal, is to evaluate the effectiveness of thromboelastography (TEG) to monitor coagulation pathways and direct blood product replacement in pediatric neuromuscular spinal deformity surgery. The central hypothesis of this study is that TEG will decrease exposure to allogeneic packed red blood cells (PRBC). The rationale is that proven effectiveness of TEG in neuromuscular deformity may change the standard of care for hematologic management in neuromuscular spinal deformity cases and additionally set the stage for a multicenter trial in idiopathic pediatric deformity.
The purpose of this single-arm observational study is to observe and document clinical outcomes of the OLIF25™ and OLIF51™ procedures in patients diagnosed with degenerative disc disease or degenerative scoliosis, and report the rate of adverse events of interest through the 24 months follow-up visit.
