Filter by:The purpose of this investigation is to establish the safety and efficacy of the Biostat System when used for treatment of chronic low back (lumbar) pain due to symptomatic internal disc disruptions (IDD) by comparing safety and efficacy outcome measures between one group receiving BIOSTAT BIOLOGX® Fibrin Sealant through the Biostat® Delivery Device and another group receiving a preservative-free normal saline control delivered with the Biostat Delivery Device.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of long-term treatment with HZT-501, a fixed-dose combination oral tablet of 800 mg ibuprofen and 26.6 mg famotidine for patients that require long-term NSAID treatment.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the change in perceived levels of pain and dysfunction in 50 patients with chronic low back pain, following the use of custom-made shoe orthotics for a three month period. The hypothesis of this study is that custom orthotic intervention will improve the patients' low back pain and dysfunction symptoms.
The purpose of the study is to compare, after functional multidisciplinary rehabilitation for chronic low back pain, an exercise program to the routine follow-up which is simply to advice patients to exercise regularly at home. The exercise program should help patients stay active, which should translate into a better long term quality of life and decreased days off work.
The purpose of this European Union (EU) study to evaluate the safety and performance of the CAdiscTM-L Lumbar Spinal Disc Replacement Device in the surgical replacement of the lumbar intervertebral discs (L3 to S1) for patients requiring surgical intervention for total lumbar disc replacement for the treatment of debilitating, chronic low back pain.
Patients with moderate to severe chronic Low Back Pain (LBP) despite current analgesic treatment participated in a Phase IV clinical trial to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of the lidocaine patch 5% compared to placebo in treating moderate to severe chronic LBP.
Patients who had axial lower back pain (LBP) with or without radiation present for at least 3 months and had daily moderate to severe LBP as the primary source of pain participated in a Phase IV clinical trial to assess the efficacy of lidocaine patch 5% compared to celecoxib 200 mg in treating chronic axial LBP with and without radiation.
Patients with Chronic Axial Low Back Pain participated in a Phase II clinical trial to assess the efficacy of lidocaine 5% patch compared with placebo.
Noxious stimuli occurring intraoperatively and postoperatively generate central sensitization, decreasing pain thresholds and ultimately increasing analgesic requirements. The pathophysiology of central sensitization is thought to involve excitatory amino acid receptors such as N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) (1, 2). Ketamine is a N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist that has been shown to be useful in the reduction of acute postoperative pain and analgesic consumption in a variety of surgical interventions (3). Spine surgery provides a unique opportunity to evaluate the preemptive and preventative impact of ketamine on the primary end points of postoperative 24 and 48 hour opioid consumption in patients with chronic pain. The goal of this double blinded, prospective, randomized placebo controlled trial is to quantify the preemptive and preventative analgesic effects of ketamine infusions in this patient population. Such insight may lead to better pain control, improved satisfaction, and ultimately a reduction in side-effects related to postoperative opioid use.
The purpose of this study is to examine 4 different epidural dosing regimes of local anaesthetic solution in a series of 3 epidural injections over a period of 12 months to determine the optimum dose of anaesthetic solution for pain relief and to determine the nature of any adverse events by measuring anxiety and depression, functionality and any side effects of the medication.
