Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of LDGraft (investigational device) compared to 100% human tissue product allograft bone (control) when applied in an ALIF procedure in the treatment of patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD).
"RECK" is a combination of local anesthesia medications, used for the purpose of pain control. RECK is an acronym which stands for Ropivacaine, Epinephrine, Clonidine, and Ketorolac. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of RECK local injectable anesthetic in the setting of posterior spinal fusion. Our specific aims are the following. Primary aim: to investigate the effect of RECK local injectable anesthetic on postoperative VAS pain scores. Secondary aims: to investigate of effect of RECK injection on postoperative opioid consumption and hospital length of stay. Hypothesis: RECK injection will significantly decrease postoperative VAS pain score, opioid consumption, and hospital length of stay compared to placebo controls.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of SeaSpine Shoreline device in surgery of the cervical spine.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the performance of MagnetOs Flex Matrix in patients with leg pain and/or back pain.
This is a real world data collection observational study at a single site. There are both prospective and retrospective cohorts. The study will examine the safety and effectiveness of the Synergy cervical disc system in patients with degenerative cervical disc disease.

Researchers are considering Dexamethasone as preemptive medication before minimally invasive spine fusion surgery to minimize postoperative back pain with minimal side effects, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of surgery and improve patient outcomes.
Low back pain, associated with intrinsic disorders of the spine, is a very frequent clinical condition that is accompanied by high morbidity with effects both on psychosocial aspects, and health care system. It occurs in approximately 80% of the population throughout their lives. Most low back pain is associated with intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) associated with neuroinflammation and pain. In this context, the study of sphingolipid metabolism can play an important role in the identification of new molecules responsible for the degenerative process. Sphingolipids, in fact, are a class of molecules that are implicated in multiple signal pathways, such as proliferation, degradation of the extracellular matrix, inflammatory state, apoptosis and migration. In particular, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), an intermediate of sphingolipid metabolism, acts as a pro-inflammatory mediator, predominantly in the extracellular environment, regulating important cellular properties related to inflammatory potential and pain. The objective of this study is to characterize the degenerative process in cells isolated from degenerated human intervertebral discs from both at cellular and molecular levels in order to identify new targets implicated in degenerative processes, including sphingolipid signaling pathway.
The goal of this observational study is to confirm the safety and performance of the three (3) Spinevision posterior fixations systems Lumis®, Plus® and Ulis® , in the treatment of patient suffering from thoracolumbar spinal degenerative pathologies, or degenerative disc disease (disease that occurs when the spinal disk break down) associated pathologies. Part of their standard of care, participants will be questioned on their back and leg pains, their disability and if they have encountered any adverse effects since the Spinevision posterior fixation system implant surgery. Those data will be collected up to twenty four (24) months after the Spinevision posterior fixation system implant surgery.
