NCT07665424
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are a common and serious complication of osteoporosis, particularly among elderly and postmenopausal patients. OVCFs may result in severe pain, functional impairment, spinal deformity, and reduced quality of life. Conventional conservative treatments, including bed rest, analgesics, and bracing, may provide limited symptom relief. Minimally invasive vertebral augmentation procedures, such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, have been widely used to improve clinical outcomes; however, risks including bone cement leakage and incomplete vertebral restoration remain concerns. The Vessel-X® Bone Filling Container System, manufactured by Central Medical Technologies Inc. (CMT), is a third-generation vesselplasty technology designed for percutaneous vertebral augmentation procedures. The system utilizes an implantable biocompatible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) container with a microporous structure for controlled bone cement delivery. The implant remains within the vertebral body after cement injection and is designed to reduce cement leakage while maintaining vertebral height restoration and pain relief. This post-market clinical study evaluates the safety and clinical effectiveness of the Vessel-X® Bone Filling Container System at two medical centers in Taiwan with a total target enrollment of 146 subjects: Tri-Service General Hospital (TSGH): 86 subjects randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the experimental and control groups. Taoyuan General Hospital, Ministry of Health and Welfare (TYGH): 60 subjects randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the experimental and control groups. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of the device by assessing the incidence of unanticipated serious adverse device effects (USADEs). Secondary objectives include evaluation of pain reduction measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), functional recovery assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and radiographic outcomes including vertebral height restoration and kyphotic deformity correction.
NCT07616583
The goal of this clinical trial is to verify the safety and efficacy of the pedicle "Nine-grid Zoning Method" in assisting percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for the treatment of lumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) in adults. It also aims to standardize the puncture path of PVP and optimize the intraoperative operation process. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the "Nine-grid Zoning Method" significantly increase the rate of achieving ideal intraoperative puncture endpoints and reduce operative time compared with the traditional pedicle puncture method? * Does the novel puncture method reduce intraoperative fluoroscopy times, radiation exposure, and the incidence of postoperative bone cement leakage without increasing surgical risks? Researchers will compare the modified PVP assisted by the "Nine-grid Zoning Method" (experimental group) with conventional PVP adopting the traditional "10 o'clock/2 o'clock" pedicle puncture point (control group) to confirm the clinical superiority and safety of the new standardized puncture path. Participants will: * Receive unilateral transpedicular PVP surgery via either the nine-grid zoning puncture path or the traditional puncture path for single-segment acute lumbar OVCF * Complete preoperative baseline examinations including bone density detection, VAS pain score, ODI functional score and SF-36 quality of life score assessment * Receive standardized intraoperative data recording covering operative time, fluoroscopy frequency, radiation dose, bone cement filling and leakage conditions * Undergo postoperative follow-up at 1 day after surgery, discharge, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after operation, with regular imaging re-examination and scale evaluation to monitor fracture recovery and postoperative complications
NCT07024095
This study investigates the long-term effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on pulmonary function, functional capacity, and quality of life in individuals with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures who have undergone percutaneous vertebroplasty. Participants aged 50 and older, diagnosed with osteoporosis and having undergone thoracic vertebroplasty within the past 3 months, will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group (IMT + standard rehabilitation) or a control group (standard rehabilitation only). The primary outcome measure is spirometry-based pulmonary function. Secondary outcome measures include inspiratory muscle strength, functional walking capacity (6-minute walk test), diaphragmatic structure and elasticity, and quality of life (SGRQ, NHP). This randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Unit of Nuh Naci Yazgan University and aims to provide scientific evidence for integrating IMT into routine post-vertebroplasty rehabilitation protocols.
NCT06261242
This study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Tripod-Fix with Tecres Mendec® Spine HV System to treat subjects with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
NCT05337696
The RECONSTRUCT study is a multi-center, prospective, single arm, post-market, pilot study to evaluate clinical and radiologic outcome data regarding the use of the Vertebral Implant PEEK (VIP) implant in the treatment of symptomatic, acute (\<8week) vertebral compression fractures who have failed conservative care strategies.
NCT06270173
The objective of this Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up Study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Tripod-Fix in the treatment of vertebral compression fractures (VCF) resulting from osteoporosis.
NCT04795765
This postmarket registry is intended to prospectively collect real world data to support ongoing safety and performance of the SpineJack system.
NCT00279877
Randomized trial comparing cost effectiveness and efficacy of kyphoplasty vs vertebroplasty for the treatment of painful, osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
NCT01482793
The objective of this study is to gather data regarding the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of percutaneous vertebroplasty in the acute fracture group with fractures less than 6 weeks old. The AVAMAX vertebroplasty kits (Care Fusion) will be used for all vertebroplasties. The primary effectiveness analysis will be based on the number of patients whose numeric rating pain score drops from above 7 out of 10 at baseline to below 4 out of 10 at two weeks post-intervention. Our hypothesis is that the vertebroplasty group will have a significantly larger proportion of patients achieving pain reduction than the control group. A secondary analysis will compare the change in mean pain scores and specific activity related pain scores between the two groups at 3 days, 14 days and at 1, 3 and 6 months. Another secondary effectiveness analysis will include the mean change in the back-pain specific limitation in function as quantified by the Roland Scale at these same data collection time points.
NCT01609712
Patients with vertebral fractures often have problems to straighten and as a consequence of impaired lung ventilation that leads to a impaired lung function. Furthermore, it comes to the sintering of the vertebra and a so-called hunchback. This also contributes to the poorer expansion of the lung. Pain is also caused by respiratory excursions of the chest which hinder the patients to use their entire lung volume. Kyphoplasty is designed to counter all these consequences of vertebral fractures by bringing stability to the fracture. In order to prove the thesis the results of lung function test (FEV1, PEF) are assessed.
