Filter by:The purpose of this voluntary research study is to determine whether the parasagittal approach to lumbar medial branch (LMB) nerve radio frequency ablation (RFA) will have greater efficacy than the traditional approach to lumbar medial branch nerve radio frequency ablation.
The purpose of this early study is to compare the clinical results of the new Conduit Interbody device to the traditional Concorde Bullet Device. The primary objective is to explore the rates and reasons for re-operation between both constructs at 2 years.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate whether modified enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) can shorten the postoperative hospital stay among patients with lumbar degenerative disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: Whether ERAS can shorten the postoperative hospital stay. Whether modified ERAS can improve postoperative functional recovery, improve functional score and pain score, reduce hospitalization costs, improve mental state, and improve abdominal indicators, etc. Participants will be randomized into modified ERAS group, or control group.
Spondylolysis, a stress fracture in the pars interarticularis of a lumbar vertebra, is the most common identifiable cause of low back pain (LBP) in adolescent athletes, occurring in 14-30% of athletes who experience LBP. Spondylolysis can cause significant pain and disability and months of exclusion from sports or an active lifestyle. Standard care of spondylolysis in adolescent athletes is primarily based on expert opinion, with dramatic variations in clinical practice, including restrictive bracing, extended rest periods before the intervention, long durations out of sport and activity, and suboptimal long-term clinical outcomes. As the next step towards our research goal, the overall objective of this pilot study is to perform a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess a novel rehabilitation strategy, the immediate functional progression program (IFPP), for treating active spondylolysis in adolescent athletes. Participants randomized to the IFPP group will begin physical therapy immediately (<1 week) after diagnosis. In contrast, those in the standard care group (control) will not start physical therapy until their pain has resolved. Aim 1 will evaluate the effects of the IFPP on outcomes (Function, Pain, Quality of Life, and Edema on MRI) among adolescent athletes with an active spondylolysis. Aim 2 will assess the feasibility of performing a full randomized trial using the novel IFPP to treat athletes ages 10-19 with an active spondylolysis. Aim 3 will compare the tolerability of the IFPP to standard care. This pilot study will lay the necessary groundwork to perform a larger hypothesis-driven randomized controlled trial.
The objective of this clinical study is to compare OSTEOAMP SELECT Fibers to Infuse Bone Graft, in terms of effectiveness and safety, when used as a bone graft substitute in in skeletally mature patients qualified for 2-lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) by means of an intra-patient control model.
Rationale: Lumbar spine surgery is associated with high postoperative pain scores and analgesic use, despite use of multimodal analgesia. The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a promising locoregional anesthetic technique for this type of surgery. The literature is not yet conclusive about the effectiveness of this technique on reducing postoperative pain intensity. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of ESPB as add-on therapy to multimodal analgesia on early postoperative pain intensity after lumbar spinal fusion surgery compared to placebo. Study design: The study is designed as a prospective mono-centre, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. Study population: 76 patients ≥ 18 years of age requiring elective lumbar spinal fusion surgery involving one to four fusion levels. Intervention: Patients will receive ultrasound-guided ESPB with either ropivacaine or placebo at the end of surgery. Main study parameters/endpoints: Main study parameter is pain intensity upon emergence from anesthesia measured with the Numeric Rating Scale. A minimal clinically important difference is considered to be a decrease of 1.5 points. Secondary endpoints are pain intensity during hospital stay and after 30 days, opioid use during hospital stay and after 30 days, opioid side effects, use of anti-emetics, time to first opioid use/request, length of hospital stay, quality of recovery at discharge. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The Sint Maartenskliniek is experienced in applying locoregional analgesia, the use of ropivacaine and using sonography. The procedure of administering ESPB has a very low risk of complications. Receiving placebo is justifiable because this group will not be withhold standard treatment. The risks of receiving placebo are negligible. The patients will visit the clinic at regular follow-up moments.
This study is being done to assess the safety of using the Angel Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma System to process Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to treat arthritis of the low back (lumbar spondylosis).
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.
According to chewing gum can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, it is used as an intervention measure for patients after lumbar surgery to evaluate the effect of chewing gum on improving abdominal distension of patients after lumbar surgery, so as to provide basis for the application and promotion of chewing gum in lumbar postoperative nursing
The aim of this research is to find and compare the effect of extension oriented treatment approach with or without mechanical traction on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with lumbar spondylosis. Randomized controlled trial is being conducted at Women Institute of Rehabilitation sciences. The sample size is 70. The subjects are being divided in two groups, 35 subjects in extension oriented treatment approach (EOTA) group and 35 in EOTA + traction group. Study duration is of 6 months. Sampling technique being applied is purposive non probability sampling technique.Tools being used in the study are Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Goniometer and Oswestry disability index (ODI).
