Filter by:Prospective, randomized, double-blinded, trial regarding the effect of local wound infiltration at the end of spine surgery; randomizing 1:1:1 between NaCl, Ropivacain, Levobupivacaine combined with Tramadol
The aim of the study is the measurement and comparison of two manual therapy techniques, the Mulligan´s mobilization with movement technique, and de placebo technique, both applicated in patients with subacute neck pain.
This observational prospective study evaluates perioperative olfaction alterations, comprising changes in threshold value, discrimination and identification, which occur in spine patients. The single group is subjected to a preoperative and a postoperative assessment.
To explore the clinical outcomes of discectomy with dynamic neutralization system(Dynesys) on treatment of single-segmental lumbar disc herniation(LDH) versus simple discectomy.
To prospectively assess the outcome of PKP assisted with and without MR technology in treatment of OVCF with IVC.
Traditional school scoliosis screening approaches remains debatable due to unnecessary referal and excessive cost. Deep learning algorithms have proven to be powerful tools for the detection of multiple diseases; however, the application of such methods in scoliosis screening requires further assessment and validation. Here, the investigators develop an artificial system for the automated screening of scoliosis using disrobed back images, and conduct clinical trial to validate if the diagnostic system can offsetting the shortcomings of human doctors.
Cervical myelopathy (CM), a chronically compressive spinal cord lesion, is the most common cause of non-traumatic paraparesis/quadriparesis among the elderly. Hong Kong is facing a heavy social economic burden from CM with the rapidly aging population. Surgical decompression is considered as the mainstay of the treatment for CM patients to relieve their symptoms and signs. Yet the surgical outcome is not always satisfactory. There is a pressing need for understanding the exact mechanism of surgical decompression on the recovery of myelopathic cord in order to improve the prognosis of CM patients in near future.This project will evaluate neuronal activities and axon regeneration by longitudinally monitoring at time zero, 3 and 6 month after the surgery in CM patients using UTE, BOLD-fMRI and DTI, and to investigate the relationship of preoperative neuronal activities of myelopathic cord with axon regeneration.
