Filter by:The acute pain after spinal surgery is serious. The most pain is during 24 hours after surgery. The multimodal therapy is a method which is applied to treat the postoperative pain. Morphine is main analgesic to treat postoperative pain. However, some the side-effects can occur to patients and there are associate with dosage. So, some analgesics usually combinate with morphine to postoperative analgesia, include gabapentin, celecoxib, ketamine, ... Nefopam is a central analgesic. There are effect prevent hyperalgesia. The effect of the combination of gabapentin with nefopam to postoperative analgesia in spinal surgery hasn't been reported yet. The gabapentin oral with 600 mg combine with continuously intravenous nefopam with 65 µg/kg/hour during 24 hours after spinal surgery whether to increase the effect of postoperative analgesia. The investigators hypothesized that the gabapentin oral with 600 mg combine with continuously intravenous nefopam with 65 µg/kg/hour during 24 hours after spinal surgery can decrease 40% of the consumption of morphine during 24 hours.
Impact of the OFA technique on postoperative recovery from adolescent spine surgery and the incidence of chronic postoperative pain.
Degenerative spondylolisthesis is a common spinal degenerative disease. It is defined as the slippage of one vertebrae on the vertebrae bellow. In the process of spinal ageing and spinal joint degeneration, the spine becomes subjected to degenerative development that results in joint instability, shifting of vertebrae and can be responsible for a progressive kyphosis of the lumbar spine and sagittal imbalance with forward inclination of the trunk and chronic low back pain development. To address these changes and restore stability, lumbar spinal fusion has been developed and is nowadays a common procedure for unstable degenerative spine disorders. In the past several years, studies that highlight the importance of sagittal balance analysis with the restoration of adequate lumbar lordosis, have emerged. However, it remains a challenge to determine the correct amount of lumbar lordosis that is required for each patient to maintain optimal post-fusion sagittal balance. Additionally, the relationship between pelvic incidence (PI) and impact of LL correction has been highlighted in literature. The position of fused vertebrae is of paramount importance, as sagittal alignment should be done with minimizing muscle work during posture. Failure to reach proper sagittal balance can result in compensatory mechanisms such as increased pelvic tilt (PT), cervical and thoracic segment hyperextension, and knee flexion. These compensatory mechanisms have adverse effects such as chronic pain, disability and muscle fatigue. With this study the investigators aim to analyze long-term clinical and spinopelvic radiographic parameter outcomes of patients who underwent a one-level spinal fusion procedure for single level degenerative spondylolisthesis disease at a single institution.
The aim of this study is to determine, in patients with grade 1 degenerative spondylolisthesis with spinal stenosis, if decompression and lumbar spinal fusion with, or without supplementary pedicle screw fixation yields an improved patient reported outcome.
This study is being done to assess the impact of arm length and abdominal (belly) width on patient performance of daily self-care activities following multiple level spinal fusions. The study will also assess if the number of levels operated on in the spinal fusion procedure affects your ability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and how long after surgery do the difficulties/limitations persist.
The Researchers are trying to evaluate whether using a blood test called thromboelastogram (TEG) to manage patients undergoing multi-level spinal fusion surgery will reduce complications after surgery compared with the standard practices.
The purpose of this study is to determine if non-invasive distracting devices (Virtual Reality (VR) headset, Augmented Reality (AR) Headset) are more effective than the standard of care (i.e., no technology-based distraction) for improving clinical outcomes in patients requiring acute rehabilitation due to deconditioning and surgery. Measures will include include range of motion, gait progression, strength progression, time to first out of bed, time to first step.
The predictive value of two different score-systems with regard to failure rate following long extent spinal fusion is subject of evaluation.
Although the incidence of second surgery for adjacent segment disease (ASD) after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been reported, its risk factors remain elusive. Few studies have had a sufficiently large number of patients, long follow-up time, and high follow-up rate for investigation. To identify non-surgical risk factors of second surgery for ASD following ACDF, the study used a national cohort with comprehensive follow-up.
