Active clinical trials for "Intervertebral Disc Degeneration"

Adjunct therapy for increasing posterolateral fusion success following single level posterior instrumented lumbar surgery.

The purpose of this study is to assess the course of hip weakness after LLIF or ALIF procedures. These outcomes include measures of hip strength using a dynamometer, which is a device used to measure muscle strength. While it is known that people experience temporary hip and leg weakness after an LLIF or ALIF, the exact timing of when hip and leg strength is regained after an LLIF or ALIF is not known.

The objective of this study is to collect clinical and radiographic outcomes using the CONDUIT™ Interbody Cervical System with supplemental fixation using a DePuy Synthes Cervical Plating System.

The purpose of this study is to compare Optecure™ as an autograft extender (treatment) to autograft alone (control) in patients undergoing 1 or 2 level fusion of the lumbar spine(one level is defined as two adjacent vertebrae), L2 and below. The primary endpoint will be the assessment of fusion by evaluation of x-rays taken following surgery at each visit. The x-ray evaluation will be conducted by a radiologist who is blinded to the type of treatment each patient has received. Subjects will be seen at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months postoperative (post-op). Questionnaires and x-rays will be completed at each visit and a computed tomography (CT) scan will be taken at the 12 month visit(and used to aid in assessment of bridging bone, where appropriate).

Spine fusion is one of the most common procedures performed in spinal surgery. Several surgical techniques can achieve a solid union, but the intertransverse posterolateral fusion (PLF) is the most widely used. However, complications can develop when the bone graft material used is insufficient to achieve the desired fusion. With its unique properties, nanOss Bioactive can be mixed with bone marrow aspirate (BMA) and other graft materials to obtain new bone growth during the healing process. It is hypothesized that the use of nanOss Bioactive will result in fusion at 12 months, with CT evidence of bridging trabecular bone, less than 3mm of translational motion, and less than 5 degrees of angular motion. In addition, patients are expected to see an improvement in Oswestry Disability Index scores, VAS pain scores, and SF36 scores, while decreasing the use of pain medication, returning to work, and finding satisfaction in the results of their surgery.

The Kineflex Spinal System is no worse than the Charite Spinal System in patients with single level degenerative disc disease at L4/5 or L5/S1.

A prospective, multi-center, randomized, self-controlled, single-blinded, clinical study evaluating the NanoMetalene implant as compared to the PEEK and allograft implants in ACDF for the treatment of cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD).

The objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a single administration of AGA111 for lumbar interbody fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease.

The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the acceptance into operating flow, performance and safety of the AQrate Robotic Assisted System during the spinal fusion surgery

This is a post-market, prospective, randomized clinical investigation to evaluate the performance of the nanOss Cervical Interbody Fusion (IBF) device with nanOss Bioactive Bone Void Filler for the treatment of cervical disc disease. A secondary objective is to compare the performance of the nanOss Cervical IBF Device and nanOss Bioactive Bone Void Filler with the performance of the C-Plus PEEK IBF Device with autograft. This study will enroll 40 patients at one (1) site. After subjects have signed an informed consent, they will be randomly assigned to either the nanOss Cervical IBF device arm or the C-Plus PEEK IBF Device. Patients will complete the preoperative visit and examinations. Patients will be evaluated at discharge, six (6) weeks, three (3) months, six (6) months, and twelve (12) months. Patients will be evaluated at twenty-four (24) months post-operatively if they have not demonstrated fusion at the 12 month time point.
