Bilateral Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections for Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Spinal StenosisLumbar Region1 more

The most common forms of injection used for the treatment of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) patients with neurogenic claudication (NC) are the caudal and inter-laminar epidural injections of anesthetic and steroid. Unilateral transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TESI) are also used to alleviate patients' symptoms of NC from DLSS, particularly in patients whose level of stenosis is L4-5 or higher. However, these unilateral injections do not cross the midline, so in cases of lower extremity pain and symptoms on both sides, a bilateral TESI would probably be more beneficial. To date, there have not been any well designed prospective studies to determine the effectiveness of bilateral TESI below the level of stenosis in DLSS patients with NC. Therefore, the goal of this prospective, non-randomized case-series outcome study is to evaluate the effectiveness of BTESI in alleviating symptoms of NC, as well as improving function in patients with DLSS. The hypothesis is that BTESI at the level below the most stenotic segment of the central canal of the lumbar spine decreases symptoms of NC and improves function in patients with DLSS.

Secondary Prevention and Application-based Lifestyle Support for Patients With Intermittent Claudication...

Intermittent ClaudicationVascular Diseases

A randomized controlled pilot trial will be used to test Lifepod®PAD as secondary prevention support system. Approximately 60 patients with intermittent claudication at the Department of vascular diseases at Skåne University hospital will be invited. The intervention group (n=30) will test Lifepod PAD for 3 months and the control group (n=30) will receive secondary prevention as usual. Primary outcome is pain free walking distance and secondary outcomes will be quality of life, illness perception, ankle brachial pressure, self-efficacy, adherence to medical treatment and blood pressure. Acceptability, delivery of the intervention, expected sample size and effect size, procedure of randomization and follow-ups will be evaluated. The outcome will be used to design a main randomized trial. Combinations of quantitative measures and qualitative interviews will be used to understand the process in detail.

ATHERO: Advanced Technology Halting Early Re-Stenosis and Occlusion

Arterial Occlusive DiseaseIntermittent Claudication

The rise of minimal access surgery has heralded the approval of a number of endovascular devices with similar indications. This is particularly true for the treatment of lower extremity ischemia. Comparable devices are selected for patient use somewhat arbitrarily, often dependent on industry influence. An unmet need is NON-industry sponsored prospective trials COMPARING devices head-to-head so that endovascular surgeons can even contemplate evidence-based device selection. At present, we seek to compare two new high-technology devices that are indicated to treat lower extremity arterial stenoses associated with claudication.

Walking Training in Peripheral Artery Disease (GrEnADa Sub-study)

Peripheral Artery DiseaseIntermittent Claudication

Whereas the efficacy of exercise interventions has been abundantly proven in male with peripheral artery disease (PAD), it remains to be determined whether these interventions are effective in women. The aim of this randomized controlled trial which will be performed with 34 PAD women will be to investigating the effects of 12 weeks of supervised walking on functional capacity and cardiovascular function and regulation at rest and during exercise.

Intermittent Claudication

The overall aim of the study is to evaluate a nurse-led intervention (person-centered follow up and health promotion) program in comparison to standard follow up for patients treated with surgical or endovascular revascularization of Intermittent Claudication.

Effects of X-STOP® Versus Laminectomy Study

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

To determine if the effectiveness of the X-STOP® implant is equivalent (non-inferior) to that of conventional laminectomy in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis as measured by the Zurich Claudication Questionnaire.

A Study of GFH312 in Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and Intermittent Claudication...

Intermittent ClaudicationPeripheral Artery Disease

GFH312 could be a novel therapeutic option in the acute/chronic inflammatory process of atherosclerosis and provides potential beneficial effects to microvasculature function for PAD patients with IC in addition to preventing ischemia-reperfusion injury. This phase II study is designed to explore the clinical safety and efficacy of GFH312 after multiple oral doses, to support further development in patients with PAD or other atherosclerotic diseases.

Efficacy of Sildenafil on the Morbi-mortality of Peripheral Arterial Diseased Patients With Intermittent...

Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a highly debilitating disease that affects 202 million people around the world and about 7 million people in France. Morbi-mortality from cardiovascular events is increased in this population. Intermittent claudication is the most common clinical feature of PAD. Primary therapeutic approach is medical treatment and advice to walk. Sildenafil, a PDEi type 5, is well tolerated, largely used in impotence and has interesting clinical delay and duration of action in the concept of a potential use in claudication. For patients agreeing and signing informed consent, randomisation of treatment (placebo/sildenafil) will be done. Treatment will be proposed in addition to usual treatment. The experimental drug will be delivered for a 1 month treatment. First follow up visit at month one will focus on tolerance, compliance and eventual side effects. If no major side effect is found the study drug will then be delivered for an additional 2 months. Patients will be evaluated at month 3 (second follow-up visit) for persistent or non-persistent indication for revascularisation and addressed for revascularization if needed. In parallel focus on tolerance, compliance and eventual side effects will be done. If no major side effect is found, the study drug will be delivered for an additional 3 months treatment. Third and fourth follow-up visit are scheduled at month 6 (end of treatment) and month 9 (3 months after the end of experimental drugs).

Resistance to Aspirin and/or Clopidogrel Among Patients With PAD.

Intermittent Claudication

263 patients with peripheral atherosclerosis were examined to evaluate the activity of the platelets during the standard treatment, including aspirin. A subgroup of 43 received 600 mg of clopidogrel 2 h before platelet reactivity analysis. The main hypothesis is that high platelet activity at the beginning of the study is associated with a higher risk of atherothrombosis. Follow up time is 5 years.

AtherosclerosisIntermittent Claudication1 more

Veterans Affairs Cooperative Study #410, The Iron and Atherosclerosis Trial, FeAST, a 24-hospital prospective randomized single-blinded clinical trial of graded iron reduction was conducted between May 1, 1999 and April 30, 2005, and has now been completed. A total of 1,277 primarily male participants with peripheral arterial disease were entered. The primary outcome was all cause mortality and the secondary outcome combined death plus non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke.
