NCT ID: NCT03746561 Not yet recruiting - Spinal Stenosis Clinical Trials

Automatic Diagnosis of Spinal Stenosis on CT

ASSIST
Start date: November 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

MRI is a common tool for radiographic diagnosis of spinal stenosis, but it is expensive and requires long scanning time. CT is also a useful tool to diagnose spinal stenosis, yet interpretation can be time-consuming with high inter-reader variability even among the most specialized radiologists. In this study, the investigators aim to develop a deep-learning algorithm to automatically detect and classify lumbar spinal stenosis.

NCT ID: NCT03584074 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Spinal Stenosis Lumbar

Clinical Trial of Pregabalin and COX2 in Spinal Stenosis

Start date: July 1, 2018
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Aim of this prospective, single-blind, randomized study was to compare the efficacy of the combination of celecoxib and pregabalin and celecoxib only monotherapy for treatment of chronic low-back pain.

NCT ID: NCT03388307 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Unilateral Approach for Bilateral Decompression of Lumbar Canal Stenosis

Start date: January 15, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study was to compare standard open laminectomy with ULBD approach in regard to efficiency, safety, and clinical outcome.

NCT ID: NCT03365401 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Efficiency of Surgical Treatment for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Start date: February 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Decompression surgery has proved to be effective for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS) with persistent pain. But the efficiency of the surgery for degenerated LSS remain uncertain and is the subject of this study. This is a multiple center open-label randomised trial. Patients were randomly allocated to surgical group or a nonoperative group. Because of the procedure , neither patients nor investigators were blinded. The primary outcome is the change of symptom measure by the Oswestry disability index 6, 12, and 24 months after procedure.

NCT ID: NCT03011866 Not yet recruiting - Spinal Stenosis Clinical Trials

Tranexamic Acid in Reducing Gross Hemorrhage and Transfusions of Spine Surgeries

TARGETS
Start date: February 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Multilevel decompression and bone graft fusion is a most effective measure for treating degenerative lumbar spinal diseases. Yet, the surgery is commonly associated with large amount of perioperative blood loss and high demand for homologous blood transfusion. Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been proved as efficient in reducing the gross blood loss in various kinds of surgeries. However, high quality evidence of its efficacy and safety is still lacking in lumbar spinal surgeries. Besides, systemic use of TXA carries the risks of thromboembolic complications such as deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, thus the optimal drug delivery route of TXA remains undetermined. The aim of this study is to test the non-inferiority of topical TXA application to its intravenous use in multilevel decompression and bone graft fusion surgeries. A prospective, randomized, double-blind, head-to-head comparison study design will be adopted.

NCT ID: NCT02873182 Not yet recruiting - Spinal Stenosis Clinical Trials

Protection of Autonomic Nervous System During Lower Spine Surgical Procedures: A Safety and Feasibility Study

Start date: August 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

A safety and feasibility study of free-run and stimulated corporal electromyography (EMG) to assess autonomic neural function during spinal and/or pelvic surgery in women and men.

NCT ID: NCT02725723 Not yet recruiting - Spinal Stenosis Clinical Trials

Thermographic Images as an Objective Method for Assessing the Efficacy of Steroidal Epidural Injections

Start date: March 2016
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Spinal stenosis is a prevalent diagnosis, which is handled in a heterogeneous manner by clinicians. Moreover, when using steroidal epidural injections, successful treatment is currently defined as the satisfaction of the patient from the treatments, a subjective and non-quantifiable indicator. In this experiment, the investigators aim to evaluate thermographic images as an objective method for assessing the efficacy of steroidal epidural injections, the most common invasive treatment for pain associated with spinal stenosis

NCT ID: NCT02395887 Not yet recruiting - Back Pain Clinical Trials

Postural Balance and Stability Among Patients With Cervical and Back Pain

Start date: April 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

High percentage of chronic back pain is due to spinal stenosis. The clinical picture is of 'neurogenic claudication' which effects postural balance and stability. If conservative treatment fail to improve symptoms, an invasive treatment which includes spinal decompression can be done. The research is an observational prospective one, pre and post operational intervention. The aim is to examine whether an operational intervention improves quality of life, pain, postural balance an stability among patients. It's important to clarify, that although there is operational intervention, the research is observational. The decision weather to operate or not, is not a part of the research. The investigators assume that since there is a population that independently going through an operation, the investigators can observe this population and evaluate different aspects of the operation outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT01630382 Not yet recruiting - Spinal Stenosis Clinical Trials

Cerebrospinal Fluid Congestion in Spinal Stenosis Patients

Start date: June 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The investigators hypothesized spinal stenosis symptom was provocation due to cerebrospinal fluid congestion.

NCT ID: NCT01045473 Not yet recruiting - Spinal Stenosis Clinical Trials

Prospective Study of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Start date: January 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The population of the US is aging. They remain more active and place greater demands on their musculoskeletal system. A key problem is that pain and disability of age related spinal disorders will increase. Problems such as Degenerative Lumbar Spondylolisthesis, Degenerative Disk Disease, Spinal Stenosis and Degenerative Scoliosis are age related problems that are treated with spinal fusion when non-operative treatment fails. Traditional open surgery poses significant risk for patients in this age group. The use of minimally invasive spinal surgery techniques provides an opportunity to treat these patients with less morbidity than traditional open surgery.
