Filter by: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).
This study compared the effects of mechanical and manual traction on pain, disability and lumbar spinal curvature in patients with discogenic low back pain
Lumbar radicular pain is defined as low back and leg pain caused by inflammation in the affected nerve root due to various etiological factors. In its treatment, there are various options such as anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy modalities, exercises, epidural steroid injections, and surgery. Epidural steroid injections have also become a frequently applied method in the treatment of lumbar radicular pain unresponsive to conservative treatments. The steroid applied here acts by suppressing the inflammation around the affected nerve root. Epidural steroid injections can be applied in lumbar radicular pain with 3 different approaches: caudal, interlaminar and transforaminal. In the transforaminal approach, a small amount of drug is injected into the epidural space, and in previous studies, reduction in pain and improvement in functionality were found in patients with lumbar radicular pain in the short and medium term. As far as we know, there is no previous study investigating the effect of fibromyalgia on TFESE treatment outcomes. For this reason, the aim of our study is to examine the effect of fibromyalgia on treatment outcomes in patients who underwent TFESE for lumbar radicular pain.
Opioid overuse is a widespread public health crisis in the United States with increasing rates of addiction and overdose deaths from prescription opioids. Reducing the need for opiate analgesics in the post-operative setting has become a high priority in minimizing long-term opioid use in surgical patients. This study will serve to demonstrate the efficacy of the addition of regional analgesic techniques in reducing post-operative opioid requirements in patients undergoing common lumbar spinal surgical procedures.
Guidelines advocate several complementary modalities as alternatives to drugs and other invasive treatments for chronic low back pain (LBP) conditions. However, there is little high-quality research investigating treatments for back-related leg pain, one of the more severe and disabling presentations of LBP. The investigators are conducting a pilot study to assess the feasibility of a future phase II multi-site randomized clinical trial (RCT). The future trial will assess the comparative effectiveness of a novel supported biopsychosocial self-management (SBSM) intervention versus Medical Care (MC).
This study is a 2-armed parallel, multi-centered, pragmatic clinical trial that compares the comparative effectiveness of non-pharmacological treatment and pharmacological treatment for non-acute lumbar disc herniation.
Chronic neck pain is among the most frequently seen chronic painful conditions. As an important cause of disability, chronic neck pain is a musculoskeletal disorder that negatively affects quality of life. Cervical disc herniation is one of the leading causes of chronic neck pain and conservative methods such as exercise and pain medications are used first in the treatment. In patients unresponsive to conservative treatment, epidural steroid injection is successfully and frequently used treatment option. Epidural steroid injection in the cervical region can be applied with two approaches: interlaminar or transforaminal. Myofascial trigger point characterized by intramuscular taut band and hypersensitive spots is a condition in which central and peripheral sensitization play a role in the pathophysiology. There are underlying myofascial trigger points in many etiologies that cause chronic neck pain. Trigger points can increase the severity of pain and in some cases they can be the main factor in the etiology of pain. Therefore, the presence of myofascial trigger points should be investigated, even if another cause is detected in chronic neck pain. Dry needling is an easily applicable and effective treatment option in myofascial trigger point. Although it is well known that myofascial trigger points frequently accompany cervical disc herniation, their effect on treatment outcomes has not been investigated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of dry needling for trigger points on the treatment results of interlaminar epidural steroid injection in patients diagnosed with cervical disc herniation.
The aim of the study is to investigate serum cytokine levels and the efficacy of lumbar stabilization exercises in patients with lumbar disc herniation with and without neurological deficits. Patients who applied to Hacettepe University Hospitals Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department with low back pain complaints and were referred for treatment will be included in the study.
In this study we are investigating whether there is a relationship between the lordosis angle measured on cervical X-RAY images on the severity and level of cervical disc herniation detected by cervical MRI, demographic characteristics and the duration and posture of the person's daily life activities.
This is a 2-arm parallel pragmatic randomized controlled trial that will compare non-pharmacological treatment with pharmacological therapy for lumbar disc herniation.
