Active clinical trials for "Intervertebral Disc Displacement"

Cervical disc herniation is a common source of cervical radiculopathy, which can occur suddenly due to trauma and results from chemical and mechanical degenerative changes that occur over time, with an annual incidence of 1.6 per 100,000 and is more common in people in the third to fifth decades of life. The prevalence of cervical disc herniation increases with age in both men and women. It is more common in women and accounts for more than 60% of cases. Cervical disc herniation is a spine disease that seriously affects the quality of life of patients and imposes a heavy economic burden on individuals and society. In recent years, with the widespread use of mobile phones and computers and the increase in the life pressure of today's people, the incidence of cervical disc herniation has shown a younger trend. The role of surgical and non-surgical treatment of patients with cervical disc herniation has not been adequately investigated. While the majority of published data reflects surgical outcomes, there is little data on the outcomes of patients treated without surgery. The most commonly used non-surgical treatments are manipulation, mobilization, kinesiology taping and therapeutic exercises along with electrotherapy agents such as laser therapy, TENS, vacuum interferential and traction. Exercise is considered one of the evidence-based methods to reduce pain in cervical disc herniation, prevent further injury, increase muscle strength, endurance and flexibility, improve proprioception, and contribute to and maintain normal life activities. Exercises used in neck pain in the literature consist of various exercises such as cervical isometrics, cervical concentric/eccentric exercises using pulley systems or weights, upper extremity exercises using dumbbells or deep neck flexor/extensor rehabilitation. Isometric exercises are effective in treating neck pain, range of motion and disability.

Comparison between Dynamic Cervical Implant as a recently introduced technique in our department and the conventional Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion in management of single-level cervical disc prolapse.

Patients who will undergo herniated disc surgery have serious pain after surgery. In order to minimise this pain and to ensure that they recover more quickly and use less morphine-derived painkillers, we aim to apply two types of painkiller injections before surgery. For this purpose, it is planned to apply painkiller injections on both sides of the level of the herniated disc with sedation before the operation. Afterwards, herniated disc surgery will be performed under general anaesthesia.

This study is a prospective, multi-center study to monitor the early safety and performance of one iteration of the Barricaid Anular Closure Device (ACD) - 6mm anchor width, when used as an adjunct to limited discectomy.

Previous evidence has shown that kinesio tape application reduces pain levels and improves disability in patients with chronic low back pain due to lumbar disc herniation. However, it is not known, whether the dynamic taping can decrease back pain, improve endurance of paraspinal muscles, and improve functional capacity in patients with lumbar disk herniation. The aim of the current study is to examine the acute effects of dynamic taping on pain, pain threshold, endurance, balance, lumbar joint mobility and functionality in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

The study is a post-market surveillance study of the Lumbar Implant for Stiffness Augmentation (LISA), a medical device, which is used to treat low-back pain that accompanies degenerative lesions of grades II, III, and IV (Pfirrmann MRI classification). "Post-market" means the device (i.e. the LISA implant) being used in this study has already obtained CE certification and is commercially available for use in the European market. The LISA device consists of 3 components: A PEEK interspinous spacer, a polyester band, and a titanium blocker. The spacer is positioned between two adjacent spinous processes, the band is belted around the spinous processes and through the spacer, and the blocker is used to lock the band inside the spacer. Medical Device manufacturers conduct "post-market" clinical studies in order to continuously evaluate the product scientifically and to comply with legal and ethical obligations. With these studies, the long-term safety as well as performance of their medical devices are assessed. This study, which is initiated and sponsored by BACKBONE (LISA designer, developer, manufacturer and marketer), aims to evaluate the long-term safety and performance of the LISA implant for the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease and to evaluate the treatment.

To compare between local anesthesia combined with intravenous Dexmedetomidine and epidural analgesia as regard the effectiveness and patient satisfaction during percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy.

Application of 3D printing guide plate in spinal minimally invasive and interventional surgeries

This study is aim to disclose the effect of cervical parameters, whether they change the outcomes of epidural steroid injection treatment in patients with cervical disc herniation. The patients who had cervical disc herniation and had been performed interlaminar epidural steroid injection were included. We hypothesized that participants with abnormal cervical spine alignment parameters were less likely to benefit from treatment.

This study investigates the effect of hospital-based intensive non-surgical treatment in musculoskeletal patients admitted to an integrated hospital that offers both complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and conventional medicine treatment.
