NCT ID: NCT06302478 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Spinal Cord Injuries

5E Program for Preventing Venous Thromboembolism in Patients With Spinal Cord Disorders

Start date: March 12, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to examine the effects of a venous thromboembolism prevention program, or "5E" program, on the rates of venous thromboembolism in patients with spinal cord disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will participants receiving the 5E program have lower rates of venous thromboembolism compared to those receiving the usual care? - Will participants receiving the 5E program have lower scores of venous thromboembolism signs and symptoms compared to those receiving the usual care? - Will the average thigh and calf circumferences of participants before and after receiving the 5E program be different? Participants in the intervention group will receive the 5E program, including - Education: health education regarding venous thromboembolism prevention - Elevation: leg elevation of 10-20 degrees - Exercise: ankle exercises - Enough fluid: adequate fluid uptake - Early application of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC): IPC use within 48 hours after admission

NCT ID: NCT06260735 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Spinal Cord Injuries

Non-invasive Spinal Cord Stimulation After Spinal Cord Injury

SCI-ES-WALK
Start date: June 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a central nervous system injury that often leads to motor dysfunction. Non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord has been recognized as a potential method of reactivating lost spinal neural networks to improve motor recovery and exercise response after SCI. Trans-spinal electrical stimulation (ts-ES) has been found to increase functional gains in people after SCI when applied in combination with other motor training protocols. This project aims to evaluate the effects of non-invasive lumbar spinal cord electrical stimulation on the motor function of trunk and lower limbs in people with SCI after augmenting their locomotor training (treadmill stepping) with step-cycle-based electrical peripheral neural stimulation methods.

NCT ID: NCT06242054 Completed - Clinical trials for Cervical Spine Myelopathy

Motor Function Assessment System Based on Video Tracking and Artificial Intelligence Technique

Start date: January 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to develop a motion recognition system based on video tracking technology and combine it with artificial intelligence technology to form a motion recognition and function evaluation system in in healthy people and patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The development of this motion recognition system, - In the scenario of hand motor dysfunction, the key parameters of hand movement in healthy people and patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy were evaluated, and the hand motor function model was established to achieve an objective, highly sensitive, highly specific, repeatable and easy-to-use system in clinical hand motor function evaluation. Participants will recieved the evaluation of this system and mJOA before the surgery. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the evaluation results of healthy people to see if this system could recognized the hand motor dysfunction of patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy.

Start date: January 15, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of rTMS and tDCS combined with robotic therapy on motor functional recovery and gait parameters

Prophylactic Pregabalin Treatment Following Spinal Cord Injury

Start date: July 13, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patients arriving to rehabilitation up to 2 months following SCI will be given (study group) or not (control group) Lyrica (75X2). They will be followed for central pain development.

NCT ID: NCT06045663 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM)

Cervical Laminectomy With or Without Lateral Mass Fixation in Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy

Start date: October 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The cervical spine consists of seven cervical vertebrae joined by intervertebral disks and a complex network of ligaments. The cervical spine has a normal lordotic curve, and it is much more mobile than the thoracic or lumbar regions of the spine, which makes it more liable to both degenerative and traumatic disorders . Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the most common form of spinal cord dysfunction in adults. The incidence and prevalence of myelopathy due to degeneration of the spine are estimated at a minimum of 41 and 605 per million in North America and Incidence of cervical spondylotic myelopathy-related hospitalizations has been estimated at 4.04/100,000 person-years. Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), earlier referred to as cervical spondylotic myelopathy, Patients report neurological symptoms such as pain and numbness in limbs, poor coordination, imbalance, and bladder dysfunction. Surgical management for patients with multilevel cervical myelopathy aims to decompress the spinal cord and restore the normal sagittal alignment using either an anterior approach or a posterior approach. Multilevel anterior surgery is associated with complications such as increased surgical trauma and increased incidence of pseudarthrosis, graft dislodgement, and implant failure as the number of level increases.The posterior approach is optimal for multilevel stenosis using consecutive laminectomies However, although the effectiveness of cervical laminectomy was documented repeatedly, there were still concerns over postoperative kyphotic deformity, cervical instability, and late deterioration Cervical laminectomy and fusion may be performed to avoid the potential complications of instability and kyphosis associated with cervical laminectomy alone. For the latter, dissection and removal of the posterior elements disrupts the normal biomechanics of the cervical spine, leading to post laminectomy deformity and instability Our study aim to evaluate the multilevel cervical laminectomy alone, and multilevel cervical laminectomy with lateral mass fixation in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy regarding the Clinical and radiological outcome for short term follow-up.

NCT ID: NCT05994846 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Spinal Cord Injuries

Start date: June 23, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objectives of this study are to (1) determine the effects of neuromodulation techniques on mobility in persons with chronic SCI, as measured by subjective and objective measures, and (2) to determine the optimal combination of techniques that modify mobility and movement in an individual. The neuromodulation techniques explored will be methods of electromagnetic stimulation - that is, electrical stimulation and magnetic stimulation.

To determine the relative cost-effectiveness between anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), posterior instrumented cervical fusion (PCF), and cervical laminoplasty.
