Filter by:This study is to evaluate the application effect of the concept of accelerated rehabilitation surgery in the perioperative period of patients with cervical spondylosis through a retrospective cohort study
In this study we will prospectively examine the safety and clinical effects of ultrasound-guided cervical medial branch blocks.
Proprioceptive sensitivity decreases in individuals with neck pain compared to those without neck pain. While organizing the treatment program of patients with neck pain, evaluation of cervical proprioception and its addition to the treatment have gained importance. The aim of the study was to examine the effects of muscle energy technique applied to patients with chronic neck pain on cervical proprioception and motor control and to compare the results of muscle energy technique application with cervical mobilization techniques.
The aim of this research is to find and compare the effect of extension oriented treatment approach with or without mechanical traction on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with lumbar spondylosis. Randomized controlled trial is being conducted at Women Institute of Rehabilitation sciences. The sample size is 70. The subjects are being divided in two groups, 35 subjects in extension oriented treatment approach (EOTA) group and 35 in EOTA + traction group. Study duration is of 6 months. Sampling technique being applied is purposive non probability sampling technique.Tools being used in the study are Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Goniometer and Oswestry disability index (ODI).
There is a critical need to target physical activity during postoperative management to optimize long-term recovery after lumbar spine surgery. The overall objective of this study is to conduct a two-group randomized control trial (RCT) to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a physical activity telehealth intervention delivered by a physical therapist for improving disability, physical function, pain, and physical activity compared to usual care after spine surgery for a degenerative lumbar condition. The physical activity intervention will include wearable technology and remote physical therapist support to counsel patients on a realistic progression of physical activity (steps per day). The central hypothesis is that this 8-week physical activity intervention performed at two weeks after surgery will be feasible and acceptable. The results of our randomized trial will be used to support a large multi-site clinical trial to test the effectiveness and implementation of this intervention
Study Purpose: This study is intended to monitor outcomes for 1 year following cervical TFESI. Based on current clinic volume and enrollment rates into a current study of cervical epidural injections that is nearing completion, we conservatively estimate a study enrollment period of 18 months and a total period of 2.5 years from enrollment to final follow-up data collection. If the study were to theoretically start enrolling in July 2019, we would anticipate completion by February 2022. Objectives: 1. Determine the proportion of patients with an 80% or greater improvement in arm and neck numerical rating scale pain (NRS) score following an initial cervical transforaminal steroid injection (TFESI) at 4 weeks post-injection and the duration of response up to 12 months. 2. Determine the proportion of patients with a 50%-79% improvement in arm and neck NRS score following an initial cervical TFESI at 4 weeks post-injection and the duration of response up to 12 months. 3. Determine the proportion of patients with less than 50% improvement in arm and neck NRS score following an initial cervical TFESI at 4 weeks post-injection and the duration of response up to 12 months. 4. Determine the proportion of patients with an initial injection plus up to 3 additional injections that maintain 80% or greater, as well as 50-79%, improvement in arm and neck NRS score for up to 12 months. 5. Determine the proportion of patients with a clinically significant change in function defined by a minimally clinically significant change (MCIC) (≥10 point improvement ) or 30% improvement in Neck Disability Index (NDI) score following an initial cervical TFESI at 4 weeks post-injection and the duration of response up to 12 months. 6. Determine the proportion of patients with clinically significant improvement in the Medication Quantification Scale (MQS III) score (≥6.8 point change , equivalent to 10 oral morphine equivalents ) following an initial cervical TFESI at 4 weeks post-injection and the duration of response up to 12 months. 6. Determine the proportion of patients with clinically significant improvement in the categorical EuroQol 5 Dimensions tool (EQ-5D) defined by ≥0.03 following an initial cervical TFESI at 4 weeks post-injection and the duration of response up to 12 months. 7. Compare patient demographic, clinical, and imaging characteristics between response groups and perform predictive modeling to better understand variables that increase the likelihood of a successful clinical outcome. 8. Report adverse effects.
Prospective study, not randomised, non-interventional, monocentric, investigating an intended patient cohort of 60 patients already operated on the cervical spine due to degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine down to the first thoracolumbar VBR (C2-T1), who received a Quintex plate for stabilisation
This prospective observational study aims to investigate the effect of midazolam sedation on the diagnostic validity of diagnostic lumbar medial branch block in patients diagnosed with lumbar spondylosis without myelopathy.

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.
