Filter by:There is a shallow learning curve with TELD (transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy). The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of TELD assisted by electromagnetic navigation for treating lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
This is pilot study for a 3-arm parallel pragmatic randomized controlled trial that will compare pharmacopuncture therapy, acupunture therapy and physical therapy, medication(prn) for cervical disc herniation.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of muscular endurance of the trunk, upper extremities, and scapular region as well as cervical region, with pain, neck awareness, and kinesiophobia in patients with cervical disc herniation. Thirty-six patients between 18-65 years with a diagnosis of cervical disc herniation and having neck pain of 2 and above at rest according to the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were included in the study. After the evaluation of musculoskeletal system, endurance tests were performed for 9 muscles/muscle groups in the cervical and scapular regions, upper limb, and trunk. Pain severity was measured by VAS and Neck Disability Index (NDI), neck awareness with Fremantle Neck Awareness Questionnaire (FreNAQ), and fear of movement with Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of anterior cervical spine surgery using the NuVasive anterior cervical plate (ACP) System as measured by reported complications, radiographic outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
- Evaluation of outcome of DCI in treatment of cervical disc disease to patients admitted to neurosurgery department, Asyut University Hospitals. - Give the effective treatment, pain control and can detect the best method could be used. - Improve the outcome of these patients and decease rate of recurrence and complications.
To date, no consensus exists on which anterior surgical technique is more cost-effective to treat cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD). The most commonly used surgical treatment for patients with single- or multilevel symptomatic CDDD is anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (ACDF). However, new complaints of radiculopathy and/or myelopathy commonly develop at adjacent levels, also known as clinical adjacent segment pathology (CASP). It remains unknown to what extent kinematics, surgery-induced fusion and natural history of disease play a role in its development. Anterior cervical discectomy with arthroplasty (ACDA) is thought to reduce the incidence of CASP by preserving motion in the operated segment. ACDA is often discouraged as the implant costs are higher whilst the clinical outcomes are similar to ACDF. However, preventing CASP might be a reason for ACDA to be a more cost-effective technique in the long-term. In this randomized controlled trial patients will be randomized to receive ACDF or ACDA in a 1:1 ratio. Adult patients with single- or multi-level CDDD and symptoms of radiculopathy and/or myelopathy will be included. The primary outcome is cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of both techniques from a societal perspective. Secondary objectives are the differences in clinical and radiological outcomes between the two techniques, as well as the qualitative process surrounding anterior decompression surgery. All outcomes will be measured at baseline and every 6 months till 4 years postoperatively. High quality evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness of both ACDA and ACDF is lacking, to date no prospective trials from a societal perspective exist. Considering the ageing of the population and the rising healthcare costs, the need for a solid clinical cost-effectiveness trial addressing this question is high.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of myofascial release technique on pain, range of motion, muscle strength, functionality and quality of life in individuals diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy with unilateral arm involvement and compare this with exercise. The individuals included in the study will be randomized into two groups, 17 control and 17 study groups. Sessions will be 3 days a week for 4 weeks. Conventional physiotherapy and exercise program will be applied to the control group, conventional physiotherapy and myofascial release technique will be applied in the intervention group. Conventional physiotherapy methods; It will include Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound (US), hotpack agents. Exercise program; extension, right and left lateral flexion, right and left rotation exercises, chin-tuck, right and left upper trapezius muscle group stretching, neck extensor muscle group isometric strengthening exercises. Myofascial release will be applied to the fingers, wrist flexor-extensor muscle groups, elbow flexor-extensor muscle groups, pectoral muscles and rotator cuff muscle groups. Patients will be evaluated before and after treatment with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Goniometric measurements, algometer, myometer, Neck Disability Scale, "Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand" Questionnaire (DASH).
To evaluate the effect of cervical interlaminar epidural steroid injections on the neuropathic pain, quality of life and disability patients with cervical radiculopathy. After the clinical and MRG evaluations of patients with neck and arm pain, injection was given to eligible patients. Patients undergone the procedure were evaluated before and after injection for neuropathic pain, quality of life and disability.
This is a prospective, single arm clinical study to evaluate fusion status and patient reported outcomes utilizing the Stryker Tritanium® C Anterior Cervical interbody device at one or two contiguous levels. Subjects that are recommended for surgical treatment of either a 1- or 2-level ACDF (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion) between the levels of Cervical Spine 2 to Thoracic 1 (C2-T1) and diagnosed with degenerative disc disease will be screened for the study.
The aim of this research is to find and compare the effect of conventional physical therapy and ELDOA stretching exercise on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with cervical disc protrusion. The Randomized controlled trials done at Armed Forces Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, Rawalpindi. The sample size was 20. The subjects were divided in two groups, 10 subjects in conventional physical therapy group and 10 in ELDOA stretching exercise group. Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was Convenient Sampling technique randomization in group through Lottery method (sealed envelope). Only 30-60 years individuals with cervical disc protrusion were included. Tools used in the study were measurement of ROM by bubble inclinometer, Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and neck disability index (NDI). Data was analyzed using SPSS 21.
