Active clinical trials for "Intervertebral Disc Degeneration"

Observational data collection of information after undergoing standard Cervical spine fusion surgery.

The investigators will examine the prevalence of low-back pain and disc degeneration among Finnish elite skiers between 16 and 35 years of age and compare these findings with the data collected among healthy volunteers studied between 1994-2021.

This study is designed to evaluate the clinical utility of a known intraoperative neuromonitoring modality (SSEP) using saphenous nerve as the site of stimulation to identify changes to the lumbar nerves which may be at risk during the lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) procedure.

The purpose of this research study is to examine the effects of physical therapy on the spinal discs. Back pain is the number one cause of disability in the US, and the spine is the most common location of chronic pain in Veterans. Physical therapy is often very effective at improving patients' back pain, but it does not work for everyone, and it is not understood how physical therapy alters the tissues within the spine. With this research the investigators hope to learn if the investigative team can measure changes to the spinal discs on MRI scans that might predict if a patient's back pain will improve with physical therapy or not.

This study aims to determine to what extent patient-specific factors, iatrogenic factors, and biomechanical factors influence cervical spine mechanics after single-level and two-level arthrodesis.

This clinical study will assess the metal concentrations present in the blood serum of patients who receive surgical treatment with the PRESTIGE LP™ Cervical Disc at two contiguous cervical levels from C3-C7. The information obtained from this clinical investigation will be used to support the post market surveillance for a PMA supplement for the PRESTIGE LP™ Cervical Disc implanted at two contiguous levels.

This is a post-market clinical study of the AccuLIF expandable transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) cage in patients requiring surgery for degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade I spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis, at one or two levels, between L2 and S1.

This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized post-market evaluation designed to collect and evaluate data on the safety and performance of the Fortilink IBF System with TETRAfuse 3D Technology.

This exempt, minimal risk, prospective, post-market, registry, multi-center, Institution Review Board (IRB) approved observational clinical evaluation will be conducted at up to a maximum of 20 investigation centers with no more than 200 study subjects being enrolled. Data is being collected for patients undergoing a standard of care, on-label, lateral lumbar interbody fusion. The data collected in this evaluation will be used for publication and presentation.

The purpose of this post-market clinical study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the MEDICREA's systems PASS LP, PASS DEGEN, and PASS Tulip PRIME to treat degenerative diseases. This study is supporting the clinical evaluation report. From the standard-of-care perspective, the results of The Degen study are expected to contribute to a better understanding of expected safety and clinical outcomes from a short (intra- and peri-operative) to a medium-term follow-up (post-operatively).
