Filter by:The main objective of the study is to compare the onset of adjacent segment disk degeneration in two groups of patients (one "spinal fusion group" and one "lumbar arthroplasty with disc replacement" group) with each patient acting as their own control for either group under study and more than three years of follow-up.
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 purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of minimally invasive surgical technique over the traditional open surgical procedure in patients with degenerative lumbar stenosis
This study is a post-marketing clinical follow-up study for MagnetOs Putty. MagnetOs Putty is a synthetic bone-like material which is routinely used by surgeons as a treatment for patients with degenerative disc disease who will undergo surgery for spinal fusion (extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF). MagnetOs Putty will be used according to the instructions for use.
This study will be conducted at Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (NRITO) n.a. Ya.L.Tsivyan, Novosibirsk, Russia. The current study is prospective pilot clinical study to demonstrate the possibility and effectiveness of performing modified technique of MIS TLIF, supplemented by segmental vertebrotomy, to correct segmental deformity of lumbar spine. It is expected to enroll 10 patients aged 18-70 with segmental deformity of lumbar spine, caused by degenerative spondylolisthesis and/or degenerative stenosis.
The purpose of this study is to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients who undergo three-level oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) using ViBone, demineralized bone matrix (DBM), and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). One product will be used on each level. Subjects will be followed for 12 months following surgery to assess degree of mineralization via computed tomography (CT) scan at 6 and 12 months, mean time to fusion, and maturation of fusion mass postoperatively via x-ray radiograph.
As a registry, the primary objective of the study is a data collection initiative. The study will collect clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients implanted with Medicrea's PSR. The secondary objective is to collect clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients with Medicrea hardware as a control cohort to the patient-specific rods.
Low back pain is a major public health issue as the leading cause of disability globally. Degeneration of intervertebral disc (IVD) disorder is once source of low back pain. Current treatment options for low back pain secondary to degeneration of intervertebral disc include conservative care, steroid injections, prescription pain medications, physical therapy, or surgery, such as discectomy or laminectomy. Treatments focus on addressing manifested symptoms rather than functional causes, and symptomatic treatment of discogenic low back pain is less than ideal. The investigators have recently found that parathyroid hormone (PTH) effectively attenuates disc degeneration in aged mice. This clinical trial will test if 3-months of daily PTH-related protein (PTHrP), abaloparatide will improve pain, function, and disc health in people with low back pain secondary to lumbar disc degeneration.
This study seeks to bridge these technologies and obtain data regarding the safety and efficacy of image guided percutaneous needle injection of expanded autologous bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells to symptomatic degenerated intervertebral discs in humans. The primary outcome will be to assess the safety and efficacy and monitor for adverse events.
Total lumbar disc replacement has previously been compared to posterior fusion of the lumbar spine, showing some favor towards total disc replacement. The study aims to compare total disc replacement to anterior fusion, sparing the muscles of the back and thus comparing the two different methods using the same surgical approach.
