View clinical trials related to Lumbar Disc Herniation.
Filter by:Lumbar disc herniation compressed the nerve cause pain, numbness, weak legs called sciatica, which seriously decrease the quality of life and work efficiency. Both collagenase chemonucleolysis(CCNL) and percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) was effective to treat lumbar disc herniation(LDH) requires surgery. whether functional clinical outcomes of CCNL vs PELD effect on LDH was superior, and no study provided convincing evidence.
Observational, ambispective, longitudinal, comparative, open, multicentric study. The main objective is to compare the performance of care in patients operated with and without DIVA®.
The primary purpose of this study is to asses the effect of caudal epidural injection guided by a combination of ultrasound and fluoroscopy on the duration of the procedure and the amount of radiation exposed during the procedure, compared to the application of only fluoroscopy-guided. Secondary aims are to reveal the presence of structural variations that prevent injection by examining the morphology of the sacral hiatus by ultrasonography.
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.
The purpose of this study is to use the " Pulse Detection System of Sound Waves " to collect the pulse information of recruited subjects, and to extract characteristic pulse information by multi-scale entropy, Fourier transform, Hilbert yellow transform, spectrum analysis, wavelet analysis and other methods. Evaluate the specificity, sensitivity, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio of the "Pulse Detection System of Sound Waves" in the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation.
This study will compare the quality of analgesia and reduction of opioid use, between standard of care and two groups of local anesthetic blocks in different location in the quadratus lumborum plane, for postoperative pain control after lumbar spinal fusion and if it reduces opioid consumption.
Rationale: Treatment with transforaminal epidural injections is part of usual care in patients suffering from lumbar radiculopathy. However, not all patients experience a satisfactory result from this treatment and it is unclear what percentage of patients responds well and if any clinical or radiological factors exist that predict a positive response. Objectives: Primary: to develop a model based on demographic, clinical and radiological parameters for prediction of treatment success after TEI Secondary: to estimate the short-term efficacy of TEI in patients with LDH and spinal stenosis based on pain, functionality and perceived recovery scores, to determine the correlation between clinical and radiological baseline parameters and physical and psychological patient outcome measures, to determine the rate of additional injections and rate of surgery after treatment with TEI, to determine the short-term (cost)effectiveness of TEI on physical and psychological patient outcome measures, and to determine the rate of complications associated with TEI Study design: Prospective cohort study Study population: Patients that are scheduled for TEI as part of usual care suffering from a new episode of lumbar radiculopathy Main study parameters/endpoints: leg and back pain scores at baseline, 30 minutes, 2 and 6 weeks after treatment. ODI, HADS, Quality of Life and PCI at baseline, 2 and 6 weeks after treatment. Perceived recovery at 2 and 6 weeks after treatment. Usage of healthcare at baseline, 2 and 6 weeks after treatment.
This study aims to investigate the safety and efficiency of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hUCMSC) for treating lumbar disc degeneration diseases. We hypothesize grafting hUCMSC into the degenerative disc leads to symptoms relief and slow down the progression of disc degeneration.
Surgical interventions for the removal of intervertebral disc fragments or to enlarge a narrow spine canal are commonly performed worldwide and are considered efficient. Concomitant low back pain is not uncommon among patients with lumbar nerve compression and neurological symptoms. When present, controversy persists in the literature regarding its ideal management. Although neurological symptoms improve after decompressive surgery, the presence of residual chronic low back pain may worsen satisfaction scores and cause functional disability. The hypothesis of the present study is that the presence of atrophy of the paraspinal and trunk muscles predicts chronic low back pain after lumbar neural decompression. If confirmed, this finding will aid in better planning of physical rehabilitation strategies for this group of patients, as well as a clearer prediction regarding surgical treatment outcomes for patients and health professionals.
The purpose of this study is to determine a grading system for inflammation in lumbar disc herniation and which groups, if any, benefit most from the administration of an intra-operative epidural steroid.
