Filter by:This multicenter, non-comparative clinical trial, led by two principal investigators in Spain, aims to evaluate the safety and performance of a robotic assistant, based on a electromechanical tracking system, in patients requiring transpedicular screw fixation. The study, conducted in two different hospital centers, involves patients with vertebral fractures, spinal stenosis, kyphosis, and other related conditions. The primary objective is to determine screw accuracy by assessing the degree of screw invasion into the pedicle using the Gertzbein-Robbins scale, with a target of achieving 96% acceptable screw placement. Trained radiologists will evaluate the screw invasion into the pedicle. The study is scheduled to span 12 months and each intervention includes a 1-month follow-up. Throughout this time frame, patients will undergo regular assessments, and outcomes will be closely monitored.
Postoperative pain is often severe in patients undergoing lumbar surgery. Due to postoperative pain, patients are unwilling to get out of bed at an early stage, which affects their recovery. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) as a new trunk fascia block technique was proposed in 2016. ESPB has aroused the interest of many nerve block experts. The benefits of ESPB are not yet demonstrated. The specific mechanism is still controversial. The erector spinae block is achieved by injecting the local anesthetic solution (with possible adjuvants) between the erector spinae muscles (iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis/ from lateral to medial) and the transverse process . The technique is performed under ultrasound guidance.
The study is a parallel-group single blinded randomized controlled trial, examining the effect of exercise on physical function in older women with osteoporosis and a history of vertebral fracture. The participants will randomly be assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the intervention group and the control group. The intervention will follow newly developed exercise recommendations for people with osteoporosis and vertebral fractures, which states the balance- and strength exercises should be performed at least twice a week. The intervention is a group exercise session circuit program lasting for 12 weeks. The participants will be tested at baseline, and followed up at 3 months and 6 months.
