Filter by:This study evaluates the effectivity and safety of MSC implantation on Degenerative Disc Disease Patients by assessing visual analog scale, ROM improvement and MRI examination.
Prospective study, not randomised, non-interventional, monocentric, investigating an intended patient cohort of 60 patients already operated on the cervical spine due to degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine down to the first thoracolumbar VBR (C2-T1), who received a Quintex plate for stabilisation
This is a prospective single-center study. Patients requiring posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) for degenerative disease are prospectively enrolled and followed. Patients enrolled in this study have asymptomatic pre-existing spinal canal stenosis at adjacent segment. This study will focus on the effects of preventative limited decompression at adjacent segment.
This is a prospective single-center study. Patients requiring posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) for lumbar degenerative disease are prospectively enrolled and followed. Important adjacent pre-existing degeneration factors include discs degenerated, facets and ligamentum flavum tropism which could lead to spinal canal stenosis (SCS). This study will focus on the effects of pre- existing adjacent degeneration (disc factors and spinal canal stenosis factors) on long-term postoperative outcomes.
Our purpose is to conduct a pilot study to evaluate GDS muscle and articulation chain treatment for inoperable spine patients with degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, compared to "standard treatment" (any other chosen treatment). The pilot study will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate feasibility and benefit of GDS muscle and articulation chain treatment on pain, function and quality of life. The pilot study will form the basis for a later full-scale randomized study and the following research questions will be addressed: 1. To what extent were the criteria for inclusion in the study suitable? 2. How did the recruitment procedure work? 3. How did the participants experience GDS treatment? 4. To what extent were the selected outcome measures suitable at the different evaluation moments, and which outcome measure tested in this pilot study would be most suitable as primary outcome measure in a full-scale study? (user experience will be included in the evaluation) 5. How was the change in the primary outcome measure (Oswestry Disability Index)? 6. What will be the estimated time for inclusion of the required number of participants in a full-scale study? (required sample size will be based on strength calculation /saving of the outcome target chosen as primary outcome measure for full scale study) The study is a pilot study with a randomized controlled design, with follow-up after 3-4 months. Thirty patients are recruited and receive baseline examination and respond to the questionnaires before randomization. The patients receive a questionnaire by mail 3-4 months after inclusion (after the treatment is completed for intervention group ). The pilot study will be one-way blinded.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with low-dose oral propranolol in the days before and after surgery decrease postoperative pain and improve pain scores.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of thoracic and/or lumbar spine surgery using the MLX and XLX ACR interbody implants as measured by reported complications, radiographic outcomes, and clinical patient outcomes. This study is being undertaken to identify possible residual risks and to clarify mid- to long-term clinical performance that may affect the benefit/risk ratios of the MLX and XLX ACR interbody implants.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of NuVasive interbody implants when used during thoracic and/or lumbar spine surgery as measured by reported complications, radiographic outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes. This study is being undertaken to identify possible residual risks and to clarify mid- to long-term clinical performance that may affect the benefit/risk ratios of these interbody implants.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Modulus 3D-printed titanium interbody implant in patients undergoing thoracic and/or lumbar XLIF as measured by reported complications, radiographic outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes.
The purpose of this trial is to collect clinical outcomes including radiographic and CT outcomes in patients who undergo spinal fusion using the Keos Lumbar Interbody Fusion Device.
