View clinical trials related to Scoliosis Idiopathic.
Filter by:The objective is to collect data from a per-operative navigation system called SURGIVISIO during scoliosis surgeries. A research program is in progress in order super-impose pre-operative 3D reconstructions of the spine performed with the EOS system on the per-operative 3D reconstructions performed with the SURGIVISIO system. The purpose of the study is to collect the pre and per operatives data in order to perform the research and development program.
This study is an opportunity to provide continued reasonable assurance of the safety and probable benefit of The Tether HUD. The study will collect long term safety and efficacy information from patients who have had their idiopathic scoliosis treated via anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) with The Tether.
Comparison of casting and bracing for the treatment of idiopathic early onset scoliosis
Scoliosis is a structural, tridimensional deformity of the spine. Characterized by lateral curvature and rotation of the vertebrae with functional limitations and cosmetic problems, idiopathic scoliosis, which accounts for 75% to 80% of all scoliosis, is the most common of all types. (1, 2) Surgical treatment is an effective way to correct severe spine deformity when the deformity progressively worsens and cannot be positively corrected by brace treatment. Spinal correction surgery is one of the most invasive surgical procedures and usually results in moderate to severe levels of postoperative pain. (3) Severe pain may induce implant complications such as construct dislodgement, broken instrumentation, and implant loosening which requires additional revision procedures These conditions adversely affect postoperative outcomes.(4) In the past several years, pain has become an important indicator for evaluating indicators of outcome and quality of life after surgery. Effective analgesia after surgery could improve patients' prognosis.(5) The erector spinae block is a recently described ultrasound-guided technique in which local anesthetics is injected into a fascial plane between the tips of the thoracic transverse processes and the overlying erector spinae muscle (longissimus thoracis).(6) The available evidence indicates that erector spinae block is effective in reducing opioid requirements and improving the pain experience in a wide range of clinical settings. They are best employed as part of multimodal analgesia with other systemic analgesics
Anaesthesia is often performed using a balanced technique by administering both opioids and anaesthetics agents. Intraoperative opioid administration is still relying on simple parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure variations. However, many studies in both adults and children have shown the poor accuracy of those parameters in predicting pain because of their sensibility to other intraoperative events such as depth of anaesthesia and volaemic variations. Consequently, intraoperative analgesia is still inadequately managed with periods of under dosage or over dosage of opioid agents. This has been hypothesized to cause postoperative hyperalgesia related to both intraoperative pain (in case of under dosage) or to opioid agents (in case of over dosage). The main resulting effect is an increase of postoperative opioid consumption and the inadequate postoperative rehabilitation because of adverse effects of opioids. During the last decade, many pain-monitors have been investigated. Most of these devices are relying on the determination of the sympathetic-to the parasympathetic systems balance. Among those monitors, the Analgesia Nociceptive Index (ANI) quantifies the parasympathetic system. The ANI device can produce two parameters the instantaneous ANI (ANIi), derived from 60 seconds analysis and the mean ANI (ANIm) derived from 4 minutes analysis. Studies have shown the accuracy of ANIi to detect both experimental and clinical pain in various populations. Moreover, a recent randomized controlled trial during spine surgery in adults has found ANIi to decrease the intraoperative and postoperative opioid consumption when used intraoperatively for guiding the administration of opioid agents
Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) is defined as scoliosis with onset under the age of ten years, regardless of etiology. It is a complex three-dimensional deformity of the spine which can cause significant physical and psychological problems. Currently there are two basic treatment options available for EOS: non-surgical and surgical. ApiFix Ltd. has developed a novel growing rod system for surgical treatment of EOS, the MID-C system. It is indicated for patients with a scoliosis of 35 to 75 degrees Cobb angle
Scoliosis is a complex 3-dimensional deformity of the spine. It may occur at any time throughout growth and development and is typically detected through x-ray imaging. Although effective at visualizing a curve, x-ray imaging is costly and may expose children to potentially harmful ionizing radiation. This is a 30 patient study to evaluate the reliability of ultrasound, an imaging technique without radiation, to effectively measure scoliosis deformities compared to the gold-standard of x-ray.
