Caudal Epidural Prolotherapy Versus Steroids in Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
Chronic Pain SyndromeThis study will be held on patients with failed back surgery syndrome, the investigators are comparing prolotherapy and steroids injections in caudal epidural space to relieve the pain
Assessing Symptom and Mood Dynamics in Pain Using the Smartphone Application SOMA
Chronic PainAcute Pain24 moreThis study relies on the use of a smartphone application (SOMA) that the investigators developed for tracking daily mood, pain, and activity status in acute pain, chronic pain, and healthy controls over four months.The primary goal of the study is to use fluctuations in daily self-reported symptoms to identify computational predictors of acute-chronic pain transition, pain recovery, and/or chronic pain maintenance or flareups. The general study will include anyone with current acute or chronic pain, while a smaller sub-study will use a subset of patients from the chronic pain group who have been diagnosed with chronic low back pain, failed back surgery syndrome, or fibromyalgia. These sub-study participants will first take part in one in-person EEG testing session while completing simple interoception and reinforcement learning tasks and then begin daily use of the SOMA app. Electrophysiologic and behavioral data from the EEG testing session will be used to determine predictors of treatment response in the sub-study.
Differential Target Multiplexed Spinal Cord Stimulation
Failed Back Surgery SyndromePersistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type 2Evaluation of the effectiveness of differential target multiplexed spinal cord stimulation for treatment of chronic back and leg pain. Additionally, a subgroup analysis will be performed to evaluate potential differences between paddle/surgical leads versus percutaneous leads.
Patient Profiling and Outcome Assessment in Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Back and/or Leg...
Failed Back Surgery SyndromeChronic PainThe PROSTIM study is an ongoing prospective, multicentric and observational clinical study. Patients are recruited in three different centers in Eastern Belgium from May 2018 onwards. This real-world data collection approaches the outcome assessment of daily medical practice. A hierarchical cluster analysis is used to identify significant patient clusters based on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire (PVAQ), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and EuroQol with five dimensions for health-related quality of life (EQ-5D). Patient clusters will be assessed on the change in biopsychosocial variables after six weeks, three and twelve months. Secondary outcomes include the comparison of pain medication use, SCS parameters, treatment satisfaction and return to work.
Objective Data on Daily Activity in Patients Treated With SCS: the Intellis Study
Failed Back Surgery SyndromeIn spinal cord stimulation (SCS), most outcome data are based on patient questionnaires. The lack of tools for objective evaluation of the effects of SCS on chronic pain has posed a barrier for providing solid proof of the therapy. Currently, however, SCS-devices with an accelerator included are available on the market. The position orientation data provided by the neurostimulator therefore gives new possibilities for objective measurement of gross activity in daily life.
Effect of Catheter Type on Efficacy of Percutaneous Caudal Adhesolysis
Failed Back Surgery SyndromeThe approach toward FBSS involves conservative management that consists of physical therapy and medication which aims to optimize gait and posture and can improve muscle strength and physical function
The Effect of Mediclore as an Anti-adhesion Agent and Safety in Full-endoscopic Spine Surgery: a...
Lumbar Disc DiseaseEpidural Fibrosis1 moreThe goal of this clinical trial is to compare efficacy and safety of Mediclore as anti-adhesion agent in patient who undergo endoscopic lumbar discectomy. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: efficacy (patient-reported outcomes, epidural fibrosis) safety (complications) Participants will received Mediclore at surgical site after finish the operation in experimental group and normal saline in control group. Researchers will compare to see if experimental group have better patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after surgery with no different in complications rate.
Subcutaneous Nerve Stimulation for Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) Patients
