NCT04140344
The purpose of this single-blind, randomized, controlled study is to assess the efficacy of "informative text messages" vs "traditional handouts" provided to lumbar spine surgery patients post-operatively.
NCT05452694
The proposed research is an important extension of an ongoing perioperative personalized analgesia and intravenous opioid pharmacogenetic research. This research focuses on two of the most commonly used oral opioid analgesics, oxycodone, and methadone, in adults following lumbar spinal fusion and decompression surgery. Genetic signature and combinatorial pharmacogenetic approaches perform better than single-gene associations. This innovative translational research will for the first time evaluate simultaneously the effects of multiple genes and interactions on oxycodone and methadone's pharmacokinetics and optimal clinical dosing and on its safety and efficacy in the highly vulnerable pediatric population. This research's multigenetic signature findings can be easily extrapolated to adults undergoing surgery or using oxycodone and/or methadone for chronic and cancer pain and in identifying opioid abusers at risk of severe respiratory depression and death. When methadone is given in addition to oxycodone for inpatient pectus excavatum repair and idiopathic scoliosis spinal fusions according to new departmental protocols, methadone pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics will also be evaluated.
NCT04094220
Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), as a minimally invasive technique, is an indirect decompression technique, and its decompression effect is not as thorough as traditional posterior decompression surgery. For certain patients with severe lumbar stenosis, additional posterior decompression is required. However, whether additional posterior decompression is necessary for these patients is unknown. Radiographic predictors of failed indirect decompression via LLIF is unknown. In current randomized, controlled trial , the investigators compare the clinical outcomes of patients with severe lumbar stenosis who received LLIF plus posterior decompression and those without posterior decompression.
NCT05630404
Lumbar spinal surgery is one of the operations performed for the treatment of leg and back pain. Severe pain may occur at postoperative period in patients following lumbar fusion surgery. The ultrasound(US) guided erector spina plan block (ESPB) is injected with a local anesthetic into the deep fascia of the erector spinae. Visualization of sonoanatomy with US is simple and the spread of local anesthetic solution can be seen easily the deep fascia of the erector spinae. In the literature, it has been reported that ESPB provides effective analgesia after lumbar spine surgery. The surgical team visualizes the transverse processes and erector spina muscle during surgery. The aim of this study is to compare US-guided ESPB and surgical infiltrative ESPB for postoperative analgesia management after lumbar spinal fusion surgery.
NCT03427281
A variety of postoperative bracing are routinely applied after spinal procedures but there are limited data regarding their efficacy, especially with the increasing use of internal fixation.Currently, no data are available regarding the use of postoperative braces in Belgium. Bracing is sometimes considered after lumbar surgery for degenerative conditions. All neurosurgeons and orthopedical surgeons in Belgium will be questioned to assess the patterns of postoperative bracing use after lumbar surgery.
NCT03176303
This study examines the effect of adjunctive use of the SpinalStim bone growth stimulator on lumbar fusion rate in high risk subjects who have had lumbar fusion surgery. All participants will wear the bone growth stimulator for a minimum of 2 hours/day for 6 months.
NCT03977961
The study determines the reliability and validity of the 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT) in patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD).
NCT05388383
With the change of lifestyle and the aging of the population, the prevalence of Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) in my country is increasing year by year, and surgery is one of the main ways to treat LDH. Surgical robots have good application prospects in the surgical treatment of patients with lumbar degenerative diseases. Studies have shown that orthopedic robot-assisted surgery has less soft tissue damage, small surgical incisions, less bleeding, high safety, and quick postoperative recovery; it reduces the risk of spinal cord and blood vessel damage that may be caused during manual operations; does not require repeated fluoroscopy To determine the position of the nail, reduce the intraoperative radiation by more than 70%, and reduce the risk of patient infection. The current clinical research on robotics technology mainly stays in the aspects of accuracy, effectiveness, and safety. If the technology is promoted in clinical applications, the support of health economics evaluation data is urgently needed. This study hopes to apply robot-assisted technology in LDH surgical treatment through observational research design, evaluate the therapeutic effect and treatment cost of robot-assisted surgery and conventional surgery, focus on health economics evaluation, and provide treatment options for patients and medical care in the health sector. The reasonable allocation of resources and the promotion and application of this technology provide data support.
NCT04781517
The commonly used scales (ODI+JOA-29+VAS) lack the assessment of lumbar stiffness, and there is no scale for evaluating lumbar stiffness in China.Based on the Delphi method and the analytic hierarchy process, this study will improve and optimize the quality of life evaluation system for patients with severe degenerative lumbar disease, so as to obtain a concise, practical, and effective patient-reported outcome instrument.
NCT01143324
The aim of the study is to observe and document surgical practice and evaluate patients' outcomes following a MAST™ single or double level instrumented fusion procedure using PLIF (Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) or TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) techniques for the treatment of the degenerative lumbar spine in a "real-world" patient population.
NCT01415908
This investigation will provide safety and effectiveness information on the use of INFUSE® Bone Graft with the CAPSTONE® Spinal System and CD HORIZON® Spinal System with a Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) surgical approach at one or two adjacent levels from L2-S1 to treat subjects with advanced degenerative disease of the lumbosacral spine.
