The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a personalized patient education program to the current hospital education and evaluate its impact using patient satisfaction scores. The investigators hypothesize that a personalized patient education intervention will increase patient's understanding of their diagnosis and satisfaction with the care as reflected in the survey results.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of lumbar medial branch radiofrequency ablation (RFA) on lumbar multifidi muscle size and clinical spinal stability. Specifically, this study is designed to highlight the comparison of multifidi muscle architecture using ultrasound imaging (USI) and MRI before and after lumbar medial branch RFA. This study will also include a commonly utilized functional assessment of the lumbar spine to evaluate the effects of RFA on lumbar spinal stability.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to assess and compare radiographic and clinical outcomes in patients who are to undergo combined interbody/posterolateral lumbar fusion procedures, supplemented with pedicle screw instrumentation, using one of the following interbody cages; the Nexxt Spine Nexxt MatrixxTM 3D-printed titanium cage or the HonourTM poly-ether-ether-ketone cage.
The ActiPatch is an FDA cleared pain therapy device that uses pulsed shortwaves to interrupt pain signals at the nerve. 200 patients will be randomized and divided into an ActiPatch treatment group and comparison analgesic drug therapy group . Subjects will be assessed with the Neck Disability Index (NDI) at baseline and at four weeks and VAS scores will be recorded in order to determine the efficacy of the ActiPatch device compared to Etoricoxib. Cervical osteoarthritis causes chronic neck pain which could potentially be alleviated by the ActiPatch without the use of medication.
The specific aim of this study is to conduct a prospective, multicenter cohort study over four months to compare the cost of standard of allopathic care (control group, N=90) versus standard of care plus osteopathic manipulative treatment (experimental group, N=90) in a cohort of 180 consecutive patients seeking treatment for chronic low back pain at three osteopathic clinics and three allopathic medical clinics (offering only standard care) located in three different regions of the United States.
Neck Pain caused by Cervical spondylosis (CS) is one of the most common health complaints. Despite its frequency as clinical problem worldwide, there are few evidence-based studies that document efficacy of therapies for neck pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Yoga chikitsa (Yoga therapy) on pain and quality of life (QOL) in CS patients compared to usual care.
