Filter by:The goal of this Randomized control trial is to determine the Effect of kinesthetic exercises and sound waves on pain, ROM, shoulder alignment and disability in cervical spondylosis. The main question it aims to answer is: Weather sine sound and kinesthetic exercise are effective in management of pain, rom, alignment, and disability in patients that are suffering from cervical spondylosis
This study will compare two different corticosteroids (dexamethasone and methylprednisolone) for use in sacroiliac joint injections to treat SI joint pain.
Health Qigong, originated from Chinese traditional guidance techniques, is known as China's "six major medical techniques" together with "stone breaking", "acupuncture and moxibustion", "massage", "medicine" and "walking on stilts" of traditional Chinese medicine, and has dual functions of sports and medicine. It mainly takes its own physical activities, breathing, and psychological regulation as its main form, improving the overall functional state of the human body through both internal and external cultivation, and improving the training practice method system of its own life movement. At present, it has 9 popular routines around the world, such as the famous Yi Jin Jing, Wu Qin Xi, Ba Duan Jin, and Liu Zi Jue. In the exercise therapy of cervical spondylosis, the exercise form of Health Qigong is similar to Tai Chi, and has greater advantages compared to other sports(Tai Chi, McKinsey, Cervical Spine Exercise, Resistance Exercise, etc). Previous studies have confirmed that Health Qigong·Yijinjing combined with acupuncture and moxibustion, massage and other intervention therapies can repair cervical muscle fibers, relieve pain and improve cervical function. Health Qigong·Wuqinxi combined with other intervention therapies can positively promote the pain index, cervical mobility, and other factors in middle-aged and elderly patients with cervical spondylosis.Health Qigong·Baduanjin combined with other intervention therapies can enhance the stability of the cervical spine and not only help alleviate anxiety, depression, and other adverse psychological states in patients with cervical spondylosis, It can also reduce the degree of cervical mobility limitation, thereby reducing patient pain, alleviating clinical symptoms, improving clinical intervention effectiveness, and reducing recurrence rate. However, most studies have combined exercise therapy with physical therapy, medication therapy, and other interventions therapies, especially the study of using Health Qigong as an independent exercise therapy to intervene in cervical spondylosis is even rarer. Therefore, this study selected Health Qigong·Yijinjing, Health Qigong·Wuqinxi, and Health Qigong·Baduanjin as independent exercise intervention projects to conduct intervention research on cervical spondylosis among college students, exploring the effects of these three Health Qigong routines on pain, cervical curvature, and cervical joint disorders of Chinese college students with cervical spondylosis.
The purpose of this trial was to investigate the safety and efficacy of fuser lateral bone grafting in ACDF. By observing the intervertebral bony fusion rate and clinical outcome scores of patients after fusion device lateral bone grafting, it was verified whether the fusion device lateral bone grafting approach could improve the bony fusion rate and clinical outcome of ACDF.
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of upper trapezius stretching exercises on pain intensity, neck range of motion, and disability in patients with cervical spondylosis. Patients with diagnosed cervical spondylosis will be randomly assigned to either a study group performing upper trapezius stretches or a control group. Both groups will receive heat treatment and strengthening exercises. The study group will additionally perform specific upper trapezius stretching exercises. Outcomes measures will be assessed before and after 4 weeks of intervention and will include neck pain intensity, range of motion, and disability using the Neck Disability Index. The study hypothesizes that the study group will demonstrate greater improvements in pain, range of motion, and disability compared to the control group. The study findings could provide data to guide physical therapy management of cervical spondylosis.
Every year, thousands of Canadians are diagnosed with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), a form of non-traumatic injury caused by spinal cord compression in the neck. While DCM causes a range of symptoms, one of the most disabling is loss of hand dexterity. Surgical decompression is standard treatment for DCM, but reduced dexterity often remains. The investigators have developed a portable, easy-to-use dexterity assessment tool for measuring hand dexterity. Hand function is often assessed using tools incapable of measuring subtle changes in function, limiting a clinician's ability to monitor progression of or recovery from a disease over time. The hope is that if subtle changes in function are identified early, leading to an early DCM diagnosis and treatment, this may prevent patients from experiencing a greater loss of hand function. The goals of this study are to determine the relationship between dexterity and myelopathy severity, as well as to establish the validity and reliability of the dexterity tool. This will be done by assessing dexterity using the dexterity tool in DCM patients (to determine the relationship between disease severity and dexterity, and measure validity) and healthy participants (to establish reliability).
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate whether modified enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) can shorten the postoperative hospital stay among patients with lumbar degenerative disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: Whether ERAS can shorten the postoperative hospital stay. Whether modified ERAS can improve postoperative functional recovery, improve functional score and pain score, reduce hospitalization costs, improve mental state, and improve abdominal indicators, etc. Participants will be randomized into modified ERAS group, or control group.
Cervical pain is one of the common problem among general population. However, cervical spondylosis may cause unavoidable neck pain and range limitations due to wear and tear changes in the cervical spine. This condition can further lead to dysfunction and neuro musculoskeletal symptoms. Literature suggests the use of Mulligan therapy, McKenzie exercises and Neural mobilizations in spondylosis. According to author's knowledge there is limited evidence regarding effects of specific treatment approach.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if peri-operative zolpidem for posterior lumbar spinal fusion improves patient reported outcomes following surgery.
This study will comprehensively evaluate the outcomes and endpoints of these two different FDA-approved artificial disc implants used to treat cervical spondylotic myelopathy and/or radiculopathy today: Biomet Zimmer Mobi-C and Nuvasive Simplify. Both implants are structurally different with the Nuvasive Simplify implementing a three-piece design with two endplates and a semi-constrained mobile core while the Biomet Zimmer Mobi-C implements an unconstrained three piece design. Subjects will be age-matched and randomly assigned to either implant with informed consent. All subjects will undergo a variety of assessments that evaluate neck disability, quality of life, pain, physiological outcome (radiographic assessments), and neck range-of motion before and after their procedure. One baseline testing will be conducted along with three post-operation visits (three months, six months, and one year) in accordance to standard follow-up procedure. Thus, the duration of participation in the study will be approximately one and a half years.
