View clinical trials related to Tarlov Cysts.
Filter by:The pathogenesis of sacral Tarlov cysts (TCs) is still unclear. In this study, histological techniques were used to clarify the anatomical membranous layers of TCs and further explore the pathogenesis of them.Although many approaches have been used to treat TCs, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment. Microsurgery is now increasingly recommended as the preferred treatment with the best long-term outcomes.However, some authors have proposed the opposite view because current microsurgical techniques fail to completely close the ostium between the cyst and subarachnoid space.Consequently, could lead to leakage of cerebrospinal fluid, pseudomeningocele , or a high frequency of cysts recurrence, which are the main reasons for surgical failure and also the biggest scruple when microsurgery is chosen. Herein, we present a new method of cyst separation and ostium closure, and evaluate its clinical reliability and effectiveness for surgical treatment of Tarlov cysts through the prospective study.
A retrospective study of the changes in the VAS scores and imaging examinations after the reconstruction and reinforcement of nerve root sleeves and caudal angioplasty for the treatment of sacral cysts from August 2017 to January 2018 was used to evaluate the efficacy of the surgical prescription.
The subject will treat 68 patients with symptomatic sacral canal cysts as the research object, and adopt a randomized controlled research method, respectively, using two methods of reinforcement and reconstruction of the nerve root sleeve, sacroplasty and nerve root sleeve plasty, and observed the operation of the patient Complications, preoperative and postoperative short-term and long-term VAS pain scores, JOA neural function scores, and changes in cyst size on imaging examinations, to evaluate the safety of nerve root sleeve reconstruction and sacroplasty in reducing the safety of postoperative cyst recurrence Sex and effectiveness, so as to further improve the surgical treatment of sacral canal cysts, improve the curative effect, and formulate the operation specifications for the treatment of sacral canal cyst
There are very few data and analysis in the literature regarding the symptomatic sacral perineurial cysts. Most studies are case reports or small retrospective sample, which rarely more than 20 cases. There is no an consensus on the choice of treatment (medicine conservative treatment and surgical treatment) for symptomatic sacral perineurial cysts.Our aim, therefore, is to compare the efficacy of medicine conservative treatment and surgical treatment for symptomatic sacral perineurial cysts by a randomized controlled trial. Meanwhile, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to detect the changes at pain related brain areas, which will be develop an objective method to evaluate the clinical curative effect of the two treatment options.
