View clinical trials related to Lumbar Disc Herniation.
Filter by:The rate of success 12 months after surgery is reported to be 60-65% in patients with lumbar disc herniation and 60-70% in patients with spinal stenosis. At the Back Center Copenhagen, patients with persistent low back pain caused by lumbar disc herniation and spinal stenosis are treated by a multidisciplinary team comprising rheumatologists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, and social workers according to current guidelines. Therefore we have a unique opportunity to report the long term outcome in candidates for surgery, regardless of whether they have surgery or not, after having received optimal but unsuccessful nonsurgical treatment. The purpose of this study is to answer the following questions: 1) What is the proportion of patients operated upon after referral to surgical evaluation with positive MRI findings, persistent low back pain, and poor outcome following non-operative treatment? 2) What was the outcome in these patients 2 years following referral? 3) Where any baseline variables predictive of good or poor postsurgical outcome? 4) Where there any difference in outcome in patients with or without surgery?
This study was conducted with the aim of determining whether or not Non surgical spinal decompression therapy was effective in remission of herniation, decreasing pain and improving functional status.
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of three different treatment methods which consists spinal decompression, deep friction massage and exercise. The patients were separated three groups Group one received non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, group two received non-surgical spinal decompression, lumbar stabilization exercises and manual therapy, group three received manual therapy and lumbar stabilization exercises. All groups completed 15 sessions of therapy. In each session, pain severity was assessed with numeric analog scale, straight leg raise test applied and the degree of the hip flexion where the patient reported pain were recorded, respectively. Static, dynamic muscle strength-endurance tests were applied before the treatment sessions started, after the treatment sessions ended, six weeks after and three months after the study. Oswestry Disability Scale (ODI), Back Performance Scale (BPS), Lanss Neuropathic pain Questionnaire, Fear-Avoidance-Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ) and McGill Pain Questionnaire were applied before the treatment sessions started, after the treatment sessions ended and three months after the study. Gradient of disc height and thickness of the herniation were assessed segmentally with magnetic resonance imagination (MRI) before the study and three months after the study.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the early clinical outcomes following non-surgical treatment with Triojection® to surgical discectomy. Early is defined as less than or equal to 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of full endoscopic lumbar discectomy versus open lumbar decompression for the treatment of lumbar herniated discs in which the patient's leg pain is greater than back pain.
Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common pathological process leading to spinal surgery. Open discectomy used to be a widespread procedure for surgical treatment for symptomatic LDH. Currently, several minimal invasive surgeries have been uesd widely. Percutaneous lumbar discectomy(PLD) and ozone therapy are two widely used minimal invasive treatment, and ozone therapy combined other minimally invasive treatment could improve other minimally invasive treatment's clinical effectiveness. The effectiveness of which has been proved to be comparable to conventional open discectomy. In this study, a single-blind randomized controlled trial will be performed to evaluate the effectiveness of two minimal invasive discectomy, percutaneous lumbar discectomy combined with ozone and percutaneous lumbar discectomy, for the treatment of symptomatic LDH. Two groups of patients will be investigated; 1) patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation undergoing PLD combined with ozone, and 2) patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation undergoing PLD. The primary endpoints of the study will be changes in in pain and functional status by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and functional status as measured by Oswestry Low Back Disability Questionnaire (Oswestry Disability Index,ODI) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) as measured at pre- and post-operation, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months. Secondary outcomes include response evaluation by MacNab response evaluation criteria as measured at pre- and post-operation, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months. Treatment effect is defined as the difference in the mean change from baseline between the two groups. For the first time,the results of this trial will provide scientific evidence as to the relative effectiveness of PLD combined with ozone versus PLD for minimal invasive surgical treatment for symptomatic lumbar disc herniation.
In our study, a multicenter randomized controlled，single blind trial will be performed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of these three procedures for the treatment of symptomatic lumbar disc herniation.
The purpose of this study is to compare safety and outcomes of the following treatments of lumbar disc herniation: (1) discectomy with posterior dynamic stabilization with those of (2) discectomy alone or (3) discectomy with internal fixation and fusion. Discectomy with posterior dynamic stabilization is proposed as the most effective treatment to improve range of motion, and to be similarly effective to discectomy alone and discectomy with internal fixation and fusion for other functional outcomes after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and exploratory efficacy of KTP-001 in subjects with lumbar disc herniation.
The purpose if this study is to assess the response to nerve root infiltration therapy in patients with cervical or lumbar disc herniations.
