Filter by:Data will be collected in Hussain Memorial Hospital by taking informed consent. Randomised clinical trial is conducted taking thirty patients of both genders with confirmed diagnoses of cervical radiculopathy, their ages ranged from 25 to 60. A cluster of winner to rule out patient with cervical radiculopathy. They will be randomly assigned into two groups by the lottery method. Group A will receive conventional treatment and of spinal mobilization with arm movement (intervention 1) Group B will receive conventional treatment and positional SNAGs (intervention 2). The treatment will be conducted at a frequency of three sessions per week for four weeks. Two values will be taken, one as baseline and the other at end of the session. Then follow up the patient to rule out which intervention is more effective than the other. Neck Disability Index, Numeric Pain Rating Scale and ROM will be used to measure outcomes.
The primary purpose of this study was to identify the ESPB spread level in the craniocaudal direction when performed at the T2 level. The secondary purpose was to determine the incidence of spread into epidural, paravertebral, intercostal, and intravascular injections with ESPB
Use of cervical orthosis after instrumented posterior cervical spinal surgery is still widely practiced even though modern fusion techniques likely do not require additional stabilization from an external orthosis. This is a single, centre randomized, non-blinded equivalence trial. Patients undergoing multi-level posterior cervical fusion will be randomized to cervical orthosis (CO group) or no orthosis (NO group). Immediately following surgery patients in the CO group will be fitted with a Philadelphia collar prior to being transferred to the recovery room. On the patient ward a physiotherapist will fit the patient with a Cervimax/Aspen/Miami J collar which will be worn at all times for 6 weeks according the standard of care. The NO group will have no specific precautions applied to their neck range of motion. Outcomes will be assessed prior to surgery, on the second day after surgery, and at 2, 4, 6 and 12 weeks after surgery. The primary outcome will be neck pain score on the numerical rating scale (ranging from 0-10 with higher scores indicating more severe pain) during the first 4 weeks after surgery with an equivalence margin of 2.0 points. Secondary outcomes will be neck disability, general health, treatment satisfaction, pain medication use, adverse events, neck range of motion, time meeting discharge status, and compliance in wearing the collar.
This study is planned to evaluate patients with upper extremity neuropathic pain due to cervical radiculopathy with clinical symptoms, Quantitative Sensory Testing(QST) and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging(fMRI). Patients with similar charactheristics will be grouped and comparisons will be conducted in fMRI results, as well as QST.
The study will compare cervical arthroplasty with cervical discectomy and fusion, in the treatment of cervical radiculopathy. The 0-hypothesis is that there is no difference between the two methods, when comparing primary and secondary outcome variables.
The Westeinde Brachialgia Study (WEB) is a randomized controlled trial to establish the effect of cervical collar or physiotherapy compared to a wait-and-see policy in patients with acute cervical radiculopathy.
